Singing & Connection with Fran - 'Sing for Earth' | Bowden Pillars

Sing for Earth with Fran
Event Location:
Bowden Pillars
Join Fran and others from the Bowden Future Pillars project for an afternoon of deepening into connection with the land and the more than human realm.
We will come together as a community, raising our singing voices in gratitude for the land's abundance and sustenance and for each other. This is also an invitation to connect with a sense of tribe and community.
Bring and share lunch from 1pm
We will sing and be together to come into deeper relationship and reciprocity with the land. Together we will sing our love back to the earth with any prayers and visions we hold for our precious earth and community. There will also be moments of guided meditation and coming into deeper presence together as a circle.
All are welcome. Songs will be simple and will be taught by ear.
No experience is required - this event is for everyone.
You can stay behind afterwards to hear from Bowden Pillars community members on the regeneration and village project.
Let's raise our voices together in harmony and show our love for Earth. This in-person event will be held at the stunning Bowden Pillars, surrounded by nature's beauty. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with others through voice and make a positive impact on the land we love. See you there!
Where to meet:
Meet from 10.45 outside the barns in front of the farmyard area

About Fran
‘Singing is our birthright as is shown by all indigenous communities who nurture connection to land and tribe in this way. We simply sing because we 'are' - a natural innate gift of being human, and the healing medicine of song is for everyone.’

Part of the Bowden Pillars Land Connection Events
What is land connection?
Our goal with this series of events is to cultivate a reciprocal relationship with the land—one where we listen as much as we engage. As our community grows and we shape the future of this project, we remain deeply connected to the land, honouring its gifts while offering our own through the guidance of local artists and skilled practitioners.
