Who We Are

We are a collective of singers who gather as an act of radical care for self and community. The singing keeps us strong.

We channel our resources–time, money, energy, presence, love, and voice–to care for the most vulnerable in our community. This includes, but is not limited to: children, elders, parents, immigrants, refugees, trans, neurodiverse, Black, Brown, Indigenous and People of Color, and our houseless kin.

We are not a choir.
We do not perform.
We sing as an antidote to fear.
We sing to grieve, to heal, to play, to be in joy.
We sing for pleasure.
We sing when things don’t make sense.
We sing to regulate our nervous systems.
We sing at life’s thresholds, those liminal places of transition bound to our health, career, relationships, becoming, birth, death, and even in the ordinary everyday times.
We sing for it all.

We sing because we can.
Because we must.
Because we were born for this.

What to Expect

Each gathering lasts roughly 2 hours, which includes time before our circle to land softly with refreshments, quietude, and connection with each other. In our circle, we tend to our body, mind, and spirit through mindfulness meditation, gentle movement, and a song circle. There is time for silent individual reflection and group sharing woven throughout. All is an invitation, nothing required or expected. All is sacred.

 

The Heart of Our Practice

We gather to tend to our spiritual well-being through singing, meditation, and movement in beloved community. These modalities are at the heart of our practice, and, while they are rooted in ancient buddhist traditions, Chinese medicine, and earth honoring traditions, our community is not a religious or faith-based community. We tend to our spiritual selves free from dogma, and with the agreement that we are singing in defense of life, liberation, and sovereignty for all beings and the earth.

Why “Songha”?

The word sangha in Sanskrit and Pali means “community.” In buddhism, one’s sangha is their beloved community of practice, the people with whom one chooses to gather and learn and grow spiritually. When sitting with the question of what to call our community of singers, many different names arose. In the end (a new beginning…✨), it came down to the fact that we are a beloved community of singers. Thus the song found its home in our Songha.

What’s included?

  • 8 weekly gatherings each season: autumn, winter, spring, and summer.

    Each season is treated like a container within the broader annual rhythm. While you are welcome to join us at any time, you may find the experience most nourishing if you are able to commit to and attend the majority of sessions in a given season. This allows members to get to know each other on a deeper level and experience the sense of safety and comfort that comes from consistency and the familiarity of a cohort.

    Sessions are available in-person, virtually, or via recordings made available to Songha members only on Patreon.

    Upcoming Sessions:

    AUTUMN :: Oct 26 – Dec 21*

    WINTER :: Jan 25 – Mar 22**

    SPRING :: Apr 26 – Jun 21*

    SUMMER :: Dates TBD

    *solstice song ceremony
    **big sing

  • 2 song ceremonies, one each for the winter and summer solstices on December 21st and June 21st. These gatherings will be closed to the general public; however, you are welcome to invite your beloveds.

  • One big community sing to mark the transition from winter to spring on March 22nd. This is a ticketed event that will be open to the public and is a time for us to share our songs with the broader community.

  • Access to all of my Patreon content: new songs in the works, behind-the-scenes footage, guided meditations, love letters, and more! This also includes live session recordings of our weekly gatherings.

  • Membership per season is $180.

    • Membership is charged on a monthly basis at $60 via Patreon.

    • To register, subscribe to the “Songha” tier on my Patreon page here.

    • The rhythm of our gatherings is designed to support seasonal and annual participation. You may experience the most nourishment if you are able to commit to the majority of our gatherings in a given season, or for a full year cycle. That said, membership is ongoing, and you can join or cancel any time.

    • We are unable to provide refunds or prorated membership fees; however, if money is a hardship, please reach out, and we’ll get creative.🫶
