P.S. There are no volunteer positions.
Cantando la Vida ~ Singing Alive Costa Rica is a shared path of remembering and reweaving our living song culture. This practice is bringing together of the worlds through harmonic communion. We are revitalizing this culture through enacting community rituals, by including song in community events, and by celebrating the inspiration brought forth by song and voice!
Cantando la Vida exists to nourish this deep desire to sing from the heart and support those who wish to live the teachings of our songs, ancient and new.
We will gather in circle to share songs, stories, laughter & prayers, invocations, intentions, blessings, mantras, and ommmmm. Themed circles are scheduled throughout the days, facilitated and offered as a song teaching place. Community offerings are welcome: spontaneous singing or a workshop during early hours or community time; yoga, nature walks, bodywork.
All are invited to the song village who wish to activate, heal, and nurture their spirit in this way. Please join us at Finca Amrta, a sacred nature reserve and farm in Costa Rica’s southern zone for a weekend of camping to deepen our relations and strengthen our bonds through song sharing.

*~**~**~* WHAT is a SONG VILLAGE *~**~**~*
A song village is what happens when caring, open-hearted people come together to sing for days on end! We are the song village; what we bring, what we do, what we say, and sing, we create together! Tending a village extends into seeing that everyone is welcomed, we take care of our own, we support each others’ wellbeing, and we cherish the land and all kin.
To keep costs affordable, we offer dharma. Attendees will be invited to help the village, to the extent that you are able.
