Singing Circle at ClearBeing
Dates for Singing Circles
Sunday February 4th
4 – 6 pm
“An evening of music & song to nourish our souls”
Singing circles are an ancient, cross-cultural practice that foster healing and community through the power of song. They offer an inclusive and non-judgmental space for us to come together, to connect to both our ancestors and descendants, and to experience a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. Singing circles require no prior experience or musical talent, as every individual has a unique voice that serves as an instrument to raise the vibration of both the individual and the collective. Singing quiets the mind, opens the heart, and taps into the soul, creating a powerful and transcendent experience for all who participate.
Our circle at Clear Being is a singing circle with a twist! We call it a song sharing circle, a living, growing experience that we shape together by sharing songs from our own lives and selecting songs from our archive that feel alive in the moment. The songs we sing span many cultures, eras, and faiths, and often correlate with the seasons and cycles of the Earth and relative celebrations and themes. We sing mostly a cappella with occasional organic accompaniment, and sink into a mini sound bath in each circle.
Please know that sharing a song is not a requirement but an invitation. Upon reading this and in the days that follow, notice if a song comes to you. If you feel called to share it, and print 10 copies of the lyrics to bring with you to the next circle. If no song comes you are equally welcome! We trust that the songs will arise as they are meant to be sung.
Your Hosts
AMANDA MCFADYEN
Amanda is a devout ‘maker of music and dreamer of dreams’ (Willy Wonka). Professionally, she has served the local and global communities as a children’s yoga teacher and trainer through her company, BlissKids, and affiliate, Rainbow Yoga. Singing has always been woven into her work, as evident in her signature program Yosic, a yoga/music fusion created for and shared with little ones ages 0-6 for over a decade. In recent years, Amanda has been mostly mesmerized by her four magical children and husband, nestled deeply into the nook of mothering. Through all of the ups and downs of family life and societal struggles, together they sing and are guided, soothed and uplifted by music and song. Today Amanda works in sisterhood toward a revival of land-based learning and co-creates holistic learning adventures for her children with the non-profit organization Wild Unity and the Starseeds Earth Academy. Inspired by her friend and Mentor, Mascha Perrone, Amanda is called back into service of the greater community through song and these beautiful circles.
ARIEL Benavidez
Ariel brings a fun energy into every room he’s in. He’s always walking around with a big smile on his face and has a hug locked and loaded for every person he meets. He loves playful conversations, asking big questions, and being absolutely mindfully silly. He’s a Soul Coach, a Breathwork facilitator, and he’ll be supporting the singing circle with some beautiful instruments such as the Djembe, Didgeridoo, and Handpan. He also likes chocolate…like REEEALLY likes it….bring chocolate.
