What is circlesong?
Sitting -or standing- in a Circle, and sounding together through the
use of Voice and
simple rhythm instruments.
Hereby one's own intention and the working from a sense of freedom come
first.
What's more, a meeting of music and ritual: every Circlesong we'll pay
attention to one
of the eight Festivals, marking important moments in the cycle of the
Year (e.g.
season's start/end). We do this in the form of a ceremony in the
Druïdic and Shamanic
tradition. Everybody has the opportunity to make an intention or focus:
Do you want to
play and sing for someone or something? Do you have a question that
bothers you? Do
you just want to enjoy a nice evening with others? The ceremony forms
the framework
in which we reserve the middle part for the actual Circlesong.
It is an occasion to
connect using your voice,
express something by singing, 'get it out of your system'
not having to... have special skills to do something special
gain a clearer insight in your themes and dilemma's
being receptive to Inspiration.
Participants reactions:
"It moved me"
"I'm always
afraid to sing, but now I carefully participated"
"I don't
understand it, but I thought is was very nice"
"I got an
answer to my question!"
"It was very
beautiful"
The present form...
emerged from my experiences with music and voice in
Sjamanry and music-therapy and my recent
experiences with Circlesong.
I feel that it is important in our times to have
such an accessible place where together we can give shape to our
spirituality and
musical/creative energy.
The Circle is a space anyone can come to who wants to connect
with his/her own
strength and with other people.
A place where much is possible, but nothing compulsory.
From improvisation to existing chants with lyrics,
sometimes accompanied by movement / danse.
A circle of people and their infinite possibilities.
