We’re so excited to be hosting Alli Caw and their sacred song medicine at Confluence this summer! Come sing in the barn!

SACRED SONG CIRCLE
Every 2nd Wednesday 7-8:30pm June - Sept
Sliding Scale $15, $22, $30

Come gather with kindred community and reclaim the living medicines of your voice and sacred song.

We’ll open with a playful warm-up, bring your voice back home to the body with a guided meditation and then learn and sing heart opening songs together. We’ll close with sacred rest, bathe in a co-created vocal sound bath and time to share your experience.

No singing experience needed BBz! We’re rewriting the story that your voice has to be pretty and pleasing for others by singing for no one’s pleasure but your own.

Because your voice is for YOU and it’s time to take it back.

What you’ll receive:

🌊Leave feeling soul nourished and nervous system regulated thanks to the voice’s connection to the vagus nerve.

🪄soothe the lump in your throat and express yourself more freely and fully

🔥tend to and move through the deep feeling intensities in your heart, in connection and community

🌈sing yourself back into play, joy and delight

🌬️reconnect to your voice as a healing ally and the muscle of your soul

🛁Bathe your being in our co-created heart opening resonances and anchor back into the temple of your body.

This isn’t a positive vibes only space.

Your grief, rage, overwhelm, and weariness are just as welcome as your joy and delight.

We’re letting the voice be our emotional support ally by allowing the emotional release that comes naturally from vocal expression.

We’re inviting the medicine of song to tend to our broken open hearts and give healthy expression for our rightful rage. We’re cultivating our voice and the magic of community as resiliency in these dark times of collapsing systems and collective rebirth.

All of you is welcome here. Come sing yourself back to life, in community, in connection and in co-created resonance.

Happy Spring!! As the stirrings of new life emerge, it’s a beautiful moment to pause and honor the old-growth trees and majestic forest habitats of Oregon. In case you haven’t heard, many of these amazing life giving places are being threatened… But you can help! And it only takes a few minutes!

Passing along more information shared by our friend Jenifer Trivelli at . The mentioned links can be found in our bio and stories!

The public comment period closes March 23rd!

Friends and fellow Oregon nature lovers,

If you value old-growth trees, clean water, and habitats for threatened species of wildlife, you should know:

BLM is revising a Resource Management Plan that would roll back protections for 104 ecologically valuable places across 2+ million acres of our state. 

Our voice actually matters in this process
What we can do right now is send a ’substantive’ public comment - one that builds a record that can be used in court to challenge the plan. Here’s a comment builder that helps you build and file this comment with the wording needed to be considered ’substantive’, and it takes about 8 minutes.

*Already filed one? If it’s not substantive (meaning, no legal teeth), it goes in a different pile. You can file another one though!

You’ll also find a downloadable action guide with more relevant information at the link.

The public comment period closes March 23rd!
