What We'll Do
- Share from the heart. How are you feeling this month? What do you dream of setting in motion? Find support and hold space for others in this safe, nurturing space.
- Spiritual Practice. Connect to inner guidance using a supportive, non-denominational practice called journeying. (Don't know how? Don't worry - I'll teach you, drawing on my experience as a Spiritual Counselor in the therapeutic modality of Depth Hypnosis.)
- Singing. About a third of our meeting will be devoted to singing - beautiful, easy to learn songs to help us tap into the magic of this time. (All voices welcome, no prior singing experience required. If you're shy to sing, you can also just listen. No pressure!)
- Food and Drink. At the close of our gathering, we invite you to stay after for potluck food, cozy drinks and casual conversation. (This part of the gathering is optional, and is just for those who feel comfortable eating and drinking in a small group outdoors.)
Hear the Music
We'll sing beautiful songs like this one, by Karen Beth.
If you're a shy singer, don't worry! I'll teach this song in a way that makes it accessible and fun, even for new singers. (And you can also just listen, if you prefer.)
How Our Circle will Support You
Community
Connect with wise, caring souls in a space that supports authentic connection.
Nature Connection
Enjoy the sense of renewed alignment that comes with tuning into nature's rhythms.
Connect to Spirit
Strengthen your connection to Spirit - Source Energy - Your Deep Self (choose your word.) You do not need to believe in a higher power to derive spiritual nourishment from our gathering.
You Time
Be supported in setting aside this special window of time for rest, reflection, and self care.
What to Bring
- Water bottle
- Journal and writing implement
- Warm layers, since we'll be outdoors.
- Something to sit on, such as a picnic blanket (ideally waterproof) or folding chair.
- Mask, ideally one comfortable for singing. (Or buy one when you arrive for $2.)
- Optional - Small treasure for the altar. A natural object or some other small object of significance to you. (You can take this back home with you at the close of our gathering.)
- Optional - Food / beverage to share.
Here's what I'll be serving at the gathering - Delicious Golden Moon Milk!
(It's plant based, nut free, healthy and delicious.)
Kind Words
(Thank You!)
These testimonials refer to my singing circle, Sanctuary of Song.
Sanctuary of Song is a powerful experience. It is restorative and magic. I feel the wonder of becoming whole every time!
-Hilde
Every week I looked forward to being with women, diving into myth and song. Noe weaves a sea of song, reflecting myth as well as our current emotional landscape. She is a well spring of kindness, encouragement and gentle ease.
-Hilary
Beautiful heart warming experience I was looking for weekly! Noe’s leading is so gentle and thoughtful. The singing circle made me feel connected to community especially in this isolated times.
- Victoria
A masterfully and lovingly crafted soul journey to a deeper self-connection, self-acceptance, and connection. I have never experienced such a balanced, creative, and thoughtful weaving of one person's multiple gifts, singing, story-telling, community building, and meditative practices. It is a very rich one-life kind of experience that I highly recommend to anyone who is a seeker, adventurer, and creator.
-Svetlana
Miraculously, Noe was able to create an inspiring, nourishing group singing experience even in the online space. Her skillful interweaving of sacred feminine mythology and sacred feminine singing created a rich, meaningful space for us to return to again and again each week.
-Sasha
Noe leads a grounded, enlivening, spiritual practice of singing, walking, sharing, (at times) crying, and (more often) laughing. We are gifted with a leader who is deeply committed to holding space for people to come together and connect, express, and be at ease. Come and join us if you are ready for your heart to open and your voice to carry. This is an experience that is rare in our world today that is now so often challenged by busy-ness, upheaval, quarantine, and change. May it continue to strengthen us!
-Alice
I love the songs Noe chooses to teach — heartfelt and "tuned" to our times. Learning harmonies by ear can be challenging, but Noe's skill with layering and recording harmonies — on the fly — makes learning a lot of fun. It's a joy to hear our voices in harmony.
