EarthSongs Workshops
​

 Songs for the 21st Century 
Co-sponsored by Cerimon House and Earth Arts NW, this is a new
Seasonal Series.  EarthSongs workshops offer us a place to share
thoughts and feelings about our planet home - playfully and creatively,
then shape individual and collaborative improvisations into chant-songs 
​for the Earth, songs that we can share with our communities.
Selected songs will be scored and shared via digital publication.

Who is this workshop for? 

As children of Mother Earth, we share a common home. Pathways  to sustainability and a healthier planet are emerging daily, but - in the light of scientific realities - the challenges ahead are enormous and counter-energies often seem to overwhelm right action. 

As children of Earth we are empowered to speak up, speak out, and advocate for her and our sisters and brothers planet-wide.  
This workshop is being developed for folks who:

  • Enjoy singing with others
  • Like to improvise and collaborate or want to learn how
  • Appreciate playful, body-based creative learning
  • Wish to celebrate and honor the beauty, resilience and diversity of life on earth and/or...
  • ...Have deep concerns about the trespass on lives, homelands and eco-systems of our sisters and brothers.
  • Want to share common concerns and creatively translate them into ChantSongs for our widening circles to sing,
  • Hope to inspire and empower our visions-and right actions-for a sustainable, peaceful Home...One Earth For All.

What will we do? 

Voiceweaving is a playful improvisational practice: fun, relaxing and inclusive. Musical skills are helpful, but everyone is welcome. 
  • We'll start with simple sound games to warm up
  • Practice "catching melodies and lyrics" within larger and smaller groupings 
  • Briefly share what's on our minds
  • Add onto an existing EarthChant for practice
  • Then collaboratively improvise, refine and sing a song created together.
  • Participants will take home a "cue card" to use in shaping songs on their own or with friends
  • Select songs created within workshops will be scored; the music will be available for digital download.
