River City Sing: A Community Song Circle | Songs for Earth
River City Sing is a monthly song circle* meeting at Living Water Community Center! Our theme this month is “songs for Earth”
💚 In her book Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer writes, “Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.”
🌍 In April, we’ll gather to sing songs for and about Earth, remembering our belonging to the land, water, air, and one another!
Our tithe (10% of donations) for this circle will support the Virginia Free Farm, an Indigenous-led mutual aid farm in Kents Store.
*A song circle isn’t a chorus or choir, but a group of folks singing together. No musical/music-reading experience necessary!
Host Kelley Doyle (www.kelleydoyle.art) will share songs by beginning with their lyrics, then teaching the songs with drum or a cappella (without instruments) through call-and-echo (“repeat after me”), gradually building as we go. We repeat them several times to let the words and sound sink in. They focus on themes of love, kinship with the Earth, and self-compassion — little pocket songs we carry to encourage and comfort ourselves and one another.
