This sometimes includes rounds and getting creative with harmonies, but really it's about being together in-person and having fun. We will sing for about an hour and then have some time to be together for anyone who wants to stay and connect more.
This is a child-free space for all who identify as women. Feel free to spread the word!
Suggested donation of $5-$15 will go directly to the Abode for use of space.
