Singing ~ a Widening Embrace

A crescent moon waxes, night and day meet level-eyed and we gather to sing on the mountain.  Wind whistles on branch and stone, sap lifts a promise of green dreams, and we marvel and sing,  sounding the path of love’s long uprising. . .returning and shifting, remembering and imagining,  longing and dreaming. . . we sing anew our universe, freshening our world, our song in a widening embrace. In a circle we sing music of Carolyn McDade, as well as others and social movements. We reflect in silence and communal sharing, and simple ritualized moments. Entering the circle as persons, we collectively create  who we are together.  Saturday night is community night. Participants bring songs, poetry, stories, dance to share.  Sunday is a time of gratitude and purpose.  .  .continuing on deepened, afresh. 

Carolyn McDade, for four decades, has gathered women to sing music that affirms, nurtures, and sustains our deeply personal as well as communal lives. Songs interweave  integrity, social vision, and planetary wholeness.  Hundreds of women have participated in these programs.  Thirteen taping projects have brought women together to sing the mystical that rattles our
bones and stirs our hearts. . .to sing our vision for a just, peaceful, and sustainable world.

The latest, My Heart is Moved (2007) honors the vision of The Earth Charter and calls us to live this vision, created by people around the globe.
