chants, prayers … audio
Learning the songs we use in Circle can be a challenge. There’s a lot to figure out in the beginning, and it may not be as easy as you had anticipated. You’ll first learn how to chant functionally – it may not sound pretty, but you’ll get there!
After getting the hang of letting go of your fears and just belting it out – maybe you’ve learned a few drum patterns – you can start to practice your chants! We suggest starting out with simple chants; after all, you won’t be Yolanda Martinez after just a month of singing along.
And while practice may not make perfect, it certainly does make progress. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to chant spontaneously when in ceremony. And what better motivation to practice than learning a chant that moves the energy?
For some practice, here are a few of our regulars. (mp3s are downloadable, videos - not so much)
