Cambridge Singing Circle Ft. Lydia Violet

At Boston-Area Singing Circles, we inspire deeper connection to ourselves, each other, and the Earth through song. We believe in the healing, freedom, and joy that can come through communal singing, and aim to make that experience more widely accessible.

At our Singing Circles, we share simple yet powerful songs songs that can be taught by ear and come to life through the harmonies and unique expression of the group. We weave in accessible vocal improvisation, personal reflections, and light meditation, movement, or breathwork to support deeper embodiment.

Back from last year, Lydia Violet returns to Boston, and will be leading our October Singing Circle.
