Join us for a special event leading up to the 11th Annual Death Faire (which takes place Saturday November 7, from 3:00–5:00 p.m.) at the Chatham Mills Studio, 480 Hillsboro St, Pittsboro.
Heart2heartnc is delighted to welcome Kathleen Hannan for a moving and uplifting song circle rooted in community, embodiment, and the wisdom of the heart.
Kathleen is the founder and director of the Bodies, Voices & Spirit Community Chorus in the NC Triangle. She is an Alexander Technique teacher, a North Carolina Arts Council Songwriter Fellowship recipient, a certified Dances of Universal Peace leader, and a lifelong student of the Heart. For more than 60 years, Kathleen has been writing, collecting, and sharing beautiful songs that invite connection, healing, and joy among people of all ages.
In this 2-hour workshop, participants will learn simple, heart-opening songs and circle dances that celebrate our love of and kinship with the natural world while making space for grief—honoring loss, tenderness, remembrance, and the many emotions that arise around death and transition. The dances are simple circle dances with song, many drawn from the Dances of Universal Peace repertoire. Some people dance on their feet, and some dance from their chairs—whatever your body wants to do is welcome. Kathleen’s teaching style integrates music, movement, embodiment, and the whole body as a vessel for carrying the voice forward.
Workshop notes, lyrics, and links to recordings of the songs will be sent to participants after class.
The cost to attend this event is $25 and registration is required. Please pay online or at the door. If you should need financial support to attend this workshop, please make that request by sending an email to listeningtoyoursoul@gmail.com prior to registering.
