Healing Song

Please note: We try to sing outdoors as long as we can! Please bring warm layers to stay cozy. We will greet you with hot tea and cocoa when you arrive!

Our singing circles are for those seeking more joy, peace of mind, and connection with others. While it is not therapy, research shows it is healing to share our stories, sing together, and be in nature. They are all therapeutic activities that support our health and well-being in this ever-changing world with amplified stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression. Join us to sing your blues away!

Shy of singing? Let go of producing, perfecting and performing and give yourself permission to enjoy the medicine of music by participating in whatever way is right for you. Listening and/or humming works great too! Songs are short and taught by call and response, all chosen carefully for messages that are uplifting and inspire healing. We sing them to become more aware of our energy and feelings, for joy/oxytocin, and to soothe ourselves with words of peace and soul care.

This group is co-facilitated by community song leader Beth Kim and Dr. Brenda Butterfield, counselor, forest therapy guide, and mindfulness teacher.

We will gather mostly outdoors, weather permitting/preference of the group. Please bring your own water bottle or tea and weather appropriate clothing. There will be a participation waiver to sign prior to attending.
