Song Circles for Women
Fortnightly Singing Circles from Monday 4th May, at 6:30 - 8pm at
Join Lauren for fortnightly connection through song, sound and stillness in circle with fellow women. Experience the power of the circle and the natural healing benefits of singing in community. Singing fosters general physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing and has been proven to remedy anxiety and depression, as well as quieten a busy mind. As human beings we have lost touch with our own voices, and beneath that, our “inner voice” which is uniquely ours. These circles are curated as medicine for us, and act as a resting place within our week, to centre, gather our thoughts and intentions, and truly be - just as we are, with all that we have, and all that we were gifted - our beautiful bodies as Devine instruments!
Singers will work through a range of breath awareness practices, sound making and group sound creation spaces, simple chants and hymns, as well as canons and harmonies. Absolutely no experience necessary!
Participants will have the chance to take home songlines, recordings and written words for their own practice. They will work within the group to calm and tone their nervous system through the voice and experience listening, giving, receiving and creating in a safe space.
These candlelit circles are akin to circles we knew from the beginning of time. We share our presence while sitting on the earth, leaving our judgements behind us, we seek for our own self awareness, and a deeper connection to those in our community.
This work is not just to learn to sing, it is to learn to access your own stillness and power through gentleness. When we sing, our mind is focussed on our sounding, and we experience a profound sense of presence. When we sing in circle, all of our hearts and energy systems come into the same harmonious resonance. When we leave circle, we take this gift along with us and bring it to other areas of our lives.
It is my deepest wish to share this peace, inspiration and pure joy with you.
I have been singing in circle since I was 6 years old, and now at 35 years of age I look back through my singing work as a caregiver of children and adults with special needs, learning to teach children to sing in my Steiner teaching training, my countless experiences of singing in women’s circles since the age of 18, singing for my unborn children, and my newborn babes, singing myself through pain, grief and heartache, and creating a new kind of sharing circle for women through sound and voice work.
Please reach out to me with any questions via the contact page or give me a call on
0414 377 120 if you would like to chat circles. I look forward to sharing this nourishing space with you.
In harmony,
Lauren Grace xo
