Join Music that Makes Community in the autumn high desert of the Norbertine Abbey in Albuquerque, NM for two and a half days of singing, learning, and growing. Experienced MMC leaders Rev. Sylvia Miller-Mutia, David and Winona Poole, and MMC Executive Director Conie Borchardt will lead.
On Friday, October 10, we’ll begin at 9 a.m. experiencing singing in community and learning the leadership skills and practices of paperless songleading. On Saturday, October 11, we’ll playfully explore more aspects of music making in community and you’ll deepen your songleader style. We conclude on Sunday morning co-creating a worship ritual with all participants contributing leadership.
Evening programming includes a free public Community SING, Dances of Universal Peace, and opportunities to practice skills and learn more paperless songs. Stay tuned for these event details to be announced.
