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.
Build community with others while tapping into a well of collective resilience.
Partake in gentle, guided ritual practice and open space for your truth.

No. This is a recording of a session that was live. [View our upcoming live events]
In our community song circles we sing "teaching songs", which are songs full of wisdom that are meant to be easily shared and learned. We do our song circles in Zoom and usually sing a capella (without instruments or with light instrumentation in service of the song). The songleader introduces each song and then teaches it at the pace we need, with built in pauses for you to be able to repeat the song. In Zoom, the attendee mics are mostly off, so you'll be able to sing along with the songleader wherever you are.
1.5 hours.
This was a first song circle on this platform, so we started with 90 minutes. Our virtual song circles now are usually about 1 hour long, with a bonus chance for some connection with each other at the end in break-out groups in guided discussion (about 20 minutes). Breakout rooms are not recorded, for privacy, bringing to your home or community.
You don't have to sing alone if you have friends to meet up with in person. Create your own song circle by inviting your friends to sing along with you. After all, singing is always more fun with friends!
If you are in different places, you'll each need your own account.
Singers of all levels welcome! If you don't sing professionally or believe you don't sing "well" we especially invite your curiosity! All voices are good voices.
Virtual song circles are an accessible option already, great for parents of young children, folks with limited mobility.
The content player for this recording includes an automated session transcript and English captions. You also get a document with the words to the songs.
