EVENT Friday Night SpiralSong, Full Moon
Women's Circle, Sarasota |
SpiralSong
Friday, May 24, 7pm (no admittance after doors close)
There's a circle of women, singing in the light!
Led by Jo Mooy and Patricia Cockerill, with a different guest presenter each time, this well-known and well-attended open group meets on the Friday evenings closest to the new and full moons. Barbara will be the guest presenter this full moon evening, the last meeting until the group resumes in October.
Barbara invites all women to SpiralSong, an opportunity to experience positivity through the art of SongChant. In SpiralSong, we'll connect, empower, and lift our voices and spirits on the wings of SongChant, and make a joyful noise! No singing experience needed. Bring your water bottle.
This is an open group, and all women are welcome. Suggested donation $5.
NOTE Door closes promptly at 7pm, no one admitted after.
Held at Rising Tide, 5102 Swift Rd., Sarasota.
