Nature Sings - An Afternoon of Nature Connection & Community Singing

Come and spend a gentle afternoon connecting with nature, finding your voice and singing together in the beautiful surroundings of Leigh Woods.

Song has always been a way for people to come together, make meaning of what we’re carrying, and give voice to the joys, griefs and longings of being human. There is something powerful about singing together! Our voices can help us shift emotion, express what words sometimes cannot, and create a sense of connection and belonging. For some, song can be a form of prayer; for others, a way of listening, releasing, celebrating or simply being present.

This afternoon is an invitation to explore that power of song together, in connection with ourselves, one another and the natural world.

We’ll explore short, nature-inspired songs, simple harmonies and singing rounds — no previous singing experience needed! Whether you’re looking to build confidence in your voice, discover the joy of singing with others, or you simply love a good group sing, you’re very welcome.

Alongside singing, we’ll enjoy nature connection activities, playful games and moments of quiet reflection, creating space to slow down, listen and connect with ourselves, each other and the natural world. There will also be space to welcome the spiritual dimension of singing — whether that means prayer, contemplation, gratitude, connection with the Earth, or simply being present with one another.

Singing for Peace
All profits from this event will be donated to Aid Box Community, a Bristol charity supporting refugees and people seeking asylum. We’ll be singing together in the hope that our voices can become a small expression of welcome, solidarity and peace.
