Jul 28-30: MMC Virtual Retreat

What: Music that Makes Community Virtual Summer Retreat
When: Tue, Jul 28-Thu, Jul 30
Where: Online

This 3-day experience explores how we sing together, virtually and in-person, noticing the way our bodies and voices are present when we learn through thoughtful modeling and generous invitation. We'll experience participatory learning and singing, sharing music from a wide variety of traditions and reflecting on leadership practices useful in a range of contexts, virtually and in-person, from devotional spaces to choir rehearsal to protest and movement spaces.

Registration for the retreat is on a sliding scale and includes mailed materials.
