Fierce & Tender

Spring 2024 Online Song Circle Series

To support our community as Steph & Paul transition to a new city, Fiercely OK’s weekly song circles will be happening online this season. ♥ Join us from the comfort of your home to sing songs that will soothe your tender heart and connect you to your fierce OKness. All circles are open to all! No previous community singing experience is required.

About our Spring Offerings

Join us from the comfort of your home to sing simple songs that will soothe your tender heart and help you feel whole again. Steph & Paul are gifted space holders and songbirds. As a team, they will not only create an accessible and uplifting musical experience for you but also an environment that is welcoming of your brave and messy human self!

Steph and Paul will lead you in song using the power of Zoom. We will sing familiar and new songs, using our intuition to decide which song is needed in the moment. We will use a looper, which means you will sing along with a whole choir full of Stephs and Pauls singing in harmony.

After registering, an email with Zoom links will be sent directly to your inbox. Hurrah, the magic of technology!

What To Expect:
Every week, we will gather in an online “circle” of diverse humans and sing easy-to-learn songs. You can expect an opening song and check-in, a brief warm-up of some kind to help you feel comfortable in the space, and a lot more singing before a closing song and check-out. While we may start off feeling shy, we will practice curiosity and vulnerability, and eventually find our way to greater connection, self-acceptance, aliveness, and celebration together.

Who Is This For?
All voices, ages and levels are welcome! No musical experience is necessary. In fact, people who only sing in the shower or car are especially welcome. We are all capable of making beautiful sound, and we would love to help you experience this birthright.

FAQs

What kinds of songs do you sing?

While you will occasionally learn and sing a portion of a well-known song, it is likely that you won't recognize most of the songs we sing at first. Over the years, Steph & Paul have filled their pockets with 100+ mantra-like songs that are therapeutic by nature and easy to learn. We like to think of them as song companions - you can call upon them in your daily life to nourish your wellness and resilience. Many of these songs have been written by folks in the community singing network and carry rich origin stories. With time, you too may find that your pockets are full of these songs and that you are singing them wherever you go.

How can I support your singing offerings?

When you register, you will have the option to give what you choose (GWYC). Below, the "sustaining contribution" is the amount we need to receive per person on average to sustainably continue offering our workshops. The beauty of community is that, where some can give less, others can give more and it all works out. We invite you to give what you can.

Full Series Suggested Amounts
Sustaining Contribution: $80 ($10 per session)
Supported Contribution: $60
Supporter Contribution: $100
Benefactor Contribution: $120

Drop-In Sliding Scale
Drop-in Sliding Scale: $10-$20

Giving less or more than the options listed above is Fiercely OK! If other adults will be joining you from the same location, we invite you to either make a contribution for them with your registration or have them register separately.

To avoid payment processing fees, you may send an e-transfer to gifts@fiercelyok.ca (no password required). Please select "Pay by invoice" at the checkout and send your e-transfer before completing your registration or immediately after. Thank you!

If you are unable to contribute at this time, please use the promo code COMERECEIVE to gain access to a free ticket. You are so worthy of the gift of song no matter your ability to give. Please come receive!

Have any other questions? Please reach out to steph@fiercelyok.ca or paul@fiercelyok.ca. We would be so happy to assist you!

Can I drop in?

Yes! When you visit our Eventbrite page, you will see options to register for the full 8-week series or a single drop-in. Choose the option that is right for you!

How do you support people of all abilities to participate?

While we acknowledge that we have work to do, we are endeavouring to create spaces in which folks of all abilities, identities and singing experiences are able to participate in ways that are satisfying to them. All songs will be taught in the repeat-after-me style and will be simple enough to learn in one sitting. For folks who appreciate visual aids, we can share the lyrics with you via Zoom’s chat function. In the opening circle, folks will be offered the chance to share their names and pronouns. This is always optional, of course. While we are working to anticipate your needs, we warmly invite you, if and when you feel safe enough, to let us know how we can best support you to show up. Together, as a community, we will grow.

What is your refund policy?

While we do not guarantee refunds for cancellations, unplanned absences or no-shows, we are committed to our relationship with you! Please be in touch with any concerns; we will work together to find an agreeable solution.
