DRIVING INFO: There is a lot of raod work being done this year! Here is a little detail. 55th Ave intersects with WI 35. If you are coming from the Twin Cities , you may want to come through Stillwater and cross that big bridge into Wisconsin. It will not add any significant time for you. Those coming from the North on WI 35, simply pass Ridge road and take a right (West)on 55th...
Singing is an ancient and powerful way for a group of “me’s” to become a “we.”
Lia Falls and Barbara McAfee will lead and teach simple songs, in the aural tradition (no lyric sheets or music to read). All are welcome, whether or not you think of yourself as a singer! **
We will sing songs that celebrate Nature, and being Human; songs that bring us together in the magic and medicine of singing with others. We will listen deeply and we will experience a joy in singing with others, and together we will make beauty!
Age Requirement: Singers of all ages are welcome to attend. Children under age 16 must attend with an adult.
Skill Level: This is for people of any skill level and it is great when there is a mix of inexperienced and experienced singers! In community singing we hold each other up. All are welcome.
