Join us for our monthly Kindness Farm song circle for community led by Family System Music Medicine: Jake Sullivan and Lou Lé. During the warmer months these will take place at the farm. During the colder months, we're grateful to be sponsored by Yoga Refuge, who is providing their beautiful space for us to gather.

No singing experience is required – we mean it! Communal singing is about sharing song together and all voices are welcome as they are. All songs will be taught call and echo style.


✨Purpose and Intention✨

The purpose of this gathering is to create a safe, nourishing space for us to support each other communaly through singing and movement practices. In the face of so much global and personal grief, our intention is to create a container where we all feel welcome and accepted exactly as we are... with our sadness, grief, pain, and anger, along with our joy, connectedness, love, and laughter. It is all welcome here. We are all welcome here.

We'll be engaging in a combination of movement practices, meditation, and and of course, communal signing.

✨Important Community Agreements✨

Our Kindness Farm community is a safe, inclusive, healing space for many different kinds of people. We come from diverse backgrounds and include refugees, immigrants, queer and trans folx, BIPOC, neurodivergent individuals, individuals with disabilities, individuals who currently or in the past have had low incomes, youth, and seniors.By joining the farm community, you agree to honor the differences between us, to show kindness and respect to everyone you meet, and to cherish all of our collective freedom to be exactly as we are.

You do not have to have any signing experience, know how to sing, or think you're a good singer. We welcome all voices to come experience the transformative, healing power of communal song.

We encourage and welcome your autonomy through all parts of this gathering. If any of the practices we engage in aren't right for you in that moment, you can simply opt out of them with absolutely no judgment. You're always welcome to just sit, listen, and care for yourself in whatever ways are needed in the moment.
