Siren Circle

A Spring Equinox Voice Ritual for Women and Femmes

A Spring Equinox Voice Ritual for Women and Femmes*

Do you hear the call of the Siren within? She sings to you, you can’t resist her voice. You must follow, and in this Spring Equinox ritual of transformation, you will let your walls and masks be destroyed and drowned as you are reborn in your truest, primal, authentic voice.

Reclaim your voice as a tool for transformation.

Sing from the depths of your ocean.

Express your truest desires. Vocalize with eros in sisterhood.

Come explore your embodied expression in this evening of somatic and vocal exploration and experimentation. In this ceremony, we will play with vocal improvisation, relaxation of the body, deep listening, traditional somatic practices and connection with the inner sounds waiting to be expressed and so often repressed! As women and femmes*, our vocal expression will call in our intentions for the Spring Equinox, as we weave a shared altar and shared sacred song of prayer and power.

Bring a water bottle, wear clothes for movement and dance, bring an object for the altar (that you will bring back home with you) and please arrive on time. You may also bring a journal, but not required. The doors will close promptly and the ritual will begin at 7:15pm.

You are welcome to bring snacks to share at the end.

*Femmes = female-identifying, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, and anyone who wants to cultivate their inner feminine power
