A Few Important Notes
Pre-registration is required.
Registration is limited to 15 participants at each gathering.
We need a minimum of 10 registrants to go ahead with a season of singing. We will let you know by Tuesday, November 4th if we will proceed with the term of singing. All fees will be refunded if the term is cancelled.
PWYC (Pay What You Can) registration options are available, allowing individuals to contribute less (including $0) or more than the suggested contribution according to their financial ability. We encourage you to give what is generous and sustainable for YOU, based on your very unique lived experience. The beauty of community is that where some can give less, others can give more, and it all works out.
If making a financial contribution is out of reach right now, but you have energy and skills to offer, please reach out, as we may have energy exchange spots available.
We are seeking to create a consistent community. Drop-in spaces at each circle are limited to 1-3 people. The sustaining drop-in rate is $25, when space permits. PWYC options are also available for drop-ins.
About Steph & Paul
Steph and Paul have been facilitating community song circles together for over 8 years. In a world where everything moves so fast and neighbours no longer know each other’s names, they feel the most important contribution they could make is to re-weave place-based community. Getting people singing is their favourite way of bringing people together!
Known by some as a musical “wizard,” Paul Barton makes clever use of his education in Jazz guitar and experience as a professional musician to help song circles run seamlessly. Steph Drouin is a trained community choir leader, Expressive Arts Therapist and expert space holder. Informed by a lifelong relationship with anxiety, she is passionate about creating spaces where you can feel safe to show up exactly as you are.
Get ready! As a team of gifted space holders and song weavers, Steph & Paul will not only create an accessible and uplifting musical experience for you but also an environment that is welcoming of your fierce and tender human self.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
