After 7+ years in Toronto, Steph and Paul are returning to their hometown of Kingston, Ontario and are excited to share their gifts as song leaders with their new community. No experience is required. All voices, ages and levels are welcome!

Join us at Next Church in downtown Kingston, Ontario on Saturdays, April 6th, May 11th and August 10th to experience the joy, and power of singing with others in community. Whether you’re a seasoned songbird or someone who only ever sings in the shower, this event is open to all. As Mary Oliver would say, “You do not have to be good.” Your messy human self is more than enough.

During the 1.5-hour workshop, you will learn between 5 and 8 songs, ranging from playful to enchanting. These songs will touch upon themes of nature, resilience, wonder, self-compassion, struggle, grief, and hope. Our gifted space holders and song weavers, Steph and Paul, will teach the songs in repeat-after-me style, making them simple to pick up in just 10 to 20 minutes. Before you know it, we’ll be weaving our voices effortlessly together in exhilarating layers.

Here’s what you can expect during the workshop:

  • Opening Song and Check-In: We begin with a grounding song and a chance to connect.

  • Brief Warm-Up: We give ourselves the gift of some TLC, simultaneously preparing ourselves to sing.

  • Lots of Singing: We dive into the joy and power of group singing, weaving voices together.

  • Closing Song and Check-Out: We wrap up with a final tune, leaving you feeling connected, refreshed, and inspired. ♥

There may be tears. There will certainly be laughter. Come prepared for the full range of feelings!

Tea will be provided. ☕

Since ancient times, people have gathered to sing as a way of caring for themselves, each other, and the more-than-human world. Let's reclaim our collective wellness through the practice of community singing. Come find joy, strength, and solace in song with us. 🎶
