Songs Like Seeds
with Sara Thomsen

Wednesdays, April 27, May 18, & June 29
7-8:30pm

Led by singer-songwriter Sara Thomsen, this monthly gathering will cultivate the joy of informal community singing, focusing on the themes of birthing and dying. In a casual atmosphere, reminiscent of the age old art of singing 'round the fire, Sara will lead the singing of familiar and new songs carefully selected for their enriching themes and qualities: songs to celebrate and honor birthings and passings, beginnings and endings, living and dying.

Songs sung with intention, like seeds planted with care, can take root in an individual or community and flower into unexpected fruits: simple joy, healing balm, increased sensitivity, awe and wonder, a re-enchanted and revitalized spirit, a grounding and centeredness, a deepening of compassion.  No previous singing or music reading experience required.
