Description
Hackney Harmony is a community choir open to anyone who wants to connect to their voice and the healing power of song.
Come and experience the deep bliss of singing together in harmony. We are all born singers. Whether or not you believe this, it is true. This is a great way to remember.
Singing is our birthright. It is utterly interwoven with what it is to be human. We sang before we spoke - it is part of our ancestral memory. When we sing we have an embodied experience of ourselves as a part of the interconnected vibrational web of existence. When we gather our voices in song, we connect to an ancient sense of belonging - not to mention the release of endorphins (happy hormones), oxytocin (bonding hormones) and core muscle building!
This is an inclusive community where we gather outside of identification with anything other than being human and making music. Sophia selects repertoire from a range of cultures and traditions including Gospel, Folk, Pop, African, Eastern European and Sacred songs, often with themes around peace, hope, unity and gratitude to the Earth and the natural cycles of life. We sing to heal, to celebrate, to grieve and to give thanks.
There is a concession price to make it affordable to those who need to pay less. We work on a basis of trust that people will pay what they can afford. If you would like to join but are not able to pay the concession fee, please email Sophia (singingourselveshome@gmail.com) so we can arrange something that feels affordable.
All are welcome. You don't need to read music. Everyone can sing.
"if you can talk you can sing, if you can walk you can dance." Zimbabwean proverb.
Sophia also offers Embodied Song Retreats where you can dive deeper into your relationship with your voice, Song Leader Trainings for those wanting to share the power of song with others, and Singing Holidays for those who love singing in beautiful places and being on holiday!
