Sing with Amanda West!

Join us for this online song circle with Amanda West, where we will:

🌟Gather in intentional community
🌟Share ritual space
🌟Learn simple medicine songs honoring loss & possibility
🌟Rest in bridging energy - the energy of in-between and connection.

Grounded in the awareness and the necessity of re-birthing our world and ourselves, this online community circle will be held as a ritual practice, inviting participants into their internal realms and deeper knowing.

As a safe space for exploration and improvisation, this is an opportunity to listen in to the truth of your own heart while being held in the sacred tapestry of group presence.

The songs taught here are for the in-between times in life ~ for bridging what was and what will be, honoring loss and calling in new possibilities.

We will learn in the aural tradition through call and echo, as medicine for the heart and spirit, to cultivate resilience, hope and connection. This is a time and place to connect with your inner space, filling your cup so that you may feel rooted and fortified as you attune to your true path in the world.

March 5th, 10am Pacific Time.

  • Build community with others while tapping into a well of collective resilience.

  • Partake in gentle, guided ritual practice and open space for your truth.

  • Will be recorded for you to revisit.

  • Full members get this and all other online content on Stellar Village global folk school! Be part of something bigger, nourishing kinship tending & belonging. Learn more here.
