Join Shireen Amini  & Lyndsey Scott on their east coast song circle tour

Song kin Shireen Amini and Lyndsey Scott merge their medicines for the first time for an East Coast song circle tour! As students of, as well as leaders in, the community singing movement, they are asking-in-motion about song’s liberatory power. Co-creating a space of authentic, playful, &amp; deep devotion, they will forge a strong container to hold the complexities of each of our identities and histories intersecting. Through heart sharing, somatics, song, and rhythmic expression, they will invite energy to re-whole us in our individual and collective bodies: grounding, attuning, grieving, releasing, connecting, and celebrating. We’ll ask, what’s needed here now? What’s possible when we open our hearts to this aching world and dare the soulful risks it asks? May we be the world we dream, in real time, as song washes over us with grace that overflows into action.<h3>Evening flow: </h3>Arrive and settle in between 6:15pm - 6:30pSong container: 6:30p-8:30p We teach songs call &amp; echo. We believe singing is a birthright and welcome all levels of experience. Science says our heartbeats sync up when we sing together . We aim to create an integrated space rooted in understandings of our historical context and current social realities. No matter your gender, sexual orientation, abilities, or housing status, you are not only welcome here, you belong here. It is one of our core values to utilize song to resist societal oppression and support liberation from the inside out.We hope you will bring the wholeness of who you are to this embodied experience of singing with full permission to be in movement, grief, laughter and more.<h3></h3><h3>Acknowledgment: </h3><h3>This event is taking place on the unceded territory of the Massachusett, Abenaki, Micmac, Maliseet, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Pawtucket, Pennacook, Penobscot, Pequot, &amp; Wampanoag peoples. </h3><h3></h3><h3>Venue info: Queer Manch! </h3>&gt; ~ 5 minute walk from the Forest Hills T Stop.
