Sept 20: Come Together: Singing for Courage, Resilience, and Hope

Coming Together:  Singing for Courage, Resilience, and Hope

Day:  Saturday, September 20th (rain or shine)
Time:  10 am - 1 pm 
Where:  Pershing Park, 3523 W 48th St, Minneapolis

Singing together is one of the best ways we have to find hope in hard times and anchor our courage for the work to come. Community singing is open to all: if it would lift your spirits, we hope you will join us.

Every voice is welcome – there's no sheet music and you don't need to "know what you're doing,” just simply open your mouth and echo back line by line.

We'll teach simple, easy to learn songs to help us connect, heal, and create joy together.

Schedule!

𝟭𝟮 𝗽𝗺- 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗠. 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿:

Circle songs, spontaneous singing, and musical improv games: magic created on the spot together!

Come for one session or stay for them all!

What to Bring - 

• Your voice, a water bottle, a blanket or a camp chair to sit on
• Bring a picnic lunch and stay to play in the park afterwards!
• If it's raining, we'll be indoors in the gym at Pershing Park.

This family-friendly event is FREE thanks to the Fulton Neighborhood Association.

Where: Online: https://zoom.us/j/431161455 (see call-in options on Heart Songs' main page)

Gather for an informal singing time to re-center our hearts in community. Simple songs will be led paperlessly/taught by ear by C. Onyx Li, Nancy W, Sarah M, other song leaders, and you, if you have a song to share.

Join us. Bring friends. (Signup for the email reminder here; select Heart Songs)

Songs will be about the human experience and in that way, spiritual in nature, but not specifically religious.

This is a space intended for self-care, however that shifts for you in every moment. Bring water. Come and go. Sit in a chair, lie on the floor, or stand as you need to.
