Join Music Therapist Kate Geller for a singing circle where you will "sing for yourself" within a supportive community of singers. Using tone, rhythm, melody, harmony and groove to explore musical landscapes, this workshop will soothe your soul, synchronize your heart beat with others, elevate endorphins and release oxytocin (“the friendship chemical” or the “social bonding” hormone). Open to all levels of musical experience. We encourage you to bring a friend.
