Overview

Come celebrate the longest night of the year with a magical evening of singing and sound healing in our Winter Solstice Song Circle and Sound

Join The People's Echo for a Winter Solstice gathering filled with song, ritual, and a closing sound bath.🎶✨🌙

In a song circle, songs are taught call-and-echo style and are learned in the moment, sometimes with harmony, sometimes without. At our song circles, we welcome all sorts of singers and embrace imperfection—we step outside of societal singing norms, inviting folks to step into discomfort within a supportive singing space.

For this event, we invite you to wear all black or all white—or anything that embodies the solstice energy, honoring both the darkest day of the year and the returning light.

Our song circle will be held in a ritual container. Please do your best to come on time to be a part of our ritual container setting and magic making.

WHAT IS THE PEOPLE'S ECHO?
