Joanna and Rachael would like to offer some songs to any of you who are unable to join us in person here in Cape Town. On this occasion, online,  in a shorter format of one hour, we shall be singing “earth” or “elemental” songs as well as a few songs with longer lyrics so that you can tune in to your feelings of gratitude, grief, interbeing and hope, etc. We will guide you in song on a journey through the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects creating a joyful sense of community with all living beings, including some words of introduction to that process. 

Please read on for instructions!

IMPORTANT NOTES ON HOW THIS WILL WORK: Please have your audio muted, as sharing your voices simultaneously online, unfortunately, does not work at all (cacophony!). You are invited to sing along with us ON MUTE. We will share the lyrics in the chat and in a document you may open if more convenient for you. We will be singing with guitar and drum.
You can just hum, or even lie down and listen. We would love you to share your faces and the expression of your singing if you will, but you may leave your video off if you prefer. You may use your shakers/rattles, your drums, or anything you like to create music with us.
