Hey neighbors,

I was blown away by the great energy at the first of these gatherings in December. It was a joyous evening and a clear takeaway was interest in more. So here we go. We're gathering again this Monday evening to connect and sing. Soup at 6:30 then we'll build off what worked last time with rounds and chants and simple songs we already know or that are easy to teach, and go from there.

Happy to hear from you in you're interested in joining.
~ David

* Why 'menfolk"? I believe singing and singing together, particularly, to be a human birthright we've largely lost. But, if the general population has largely lost it, male-identified folks may have even more often actually been told don't (you dare) sing. I feel called to help turn that dynamic around.
But anyone drawn by this invite is welcome, absolutely including non-binary/gender queer/trans-masculine folx, seeking this kind of space and connection. And please reach out to share your experience if you have questions or don't feel included. I'm ready to learn.
