Songs of Peace and Protest

Singing is one of the greatest gifts we have been given. It is inclusive, hopeful and joyful but it is also powerful, liberating and healing. In a world where there is so much uncertainty and fear, we need to sing songs that will unite our hearts, create community and speak of hope and freedom.

Mike will lead us in a day of unaccompanied singing that will include songs from around the world that have been used in speaking out for peace and justice. This workshop will run twice and so there are plenty of spaces available – and if you love it you can come again!

No previous singing experience is needed, all are welcome.

Please bring a packed lunch. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
