Singing together fosters connection, empathy and leadership. And singing together improvisationally unlocks creativity, heightens intuition, and surprises and delights the soul.
Join us for this monthly workshop on second Sundays. Guided by Moving Star ensemble member Onome, together we’ll navigate the online virtual space as an opportunity to embrace community by sharing songs open-mic style, and doing individual and small group improvisation sequences to help us find the music within and between us. Free event.
If you would like to make a financial contribution to support and sustain Moving Star, you can do so through our fiscal sponsor, World in One Arts, at https://venmo.com/worldinonearts
