Afternoon Songshop, Potluck & Concert - November 23
SALT SPRING ISLAND, BC
We will gather in the afternoon at the beautiful Butterstone Farm for a playful, guided community song circle experience. Learn new seasonal songs and revisit old favourites in the spirit of feeling joyful and alive!
Kate's songs are often described as uplifting mantras, prayerful chants, or anthems for empowering love, celebrating nature connection and making room for our emotions. Songs are taught orally and brought to life in the moment, as our voices weave together. Come as you are; no experience is required to learn and be part of the joy of singing in community!
The songshop will be followed by a break and a potluck. Folks are welcome to get a breath of fresh air wandering on the beautiful property, and enjoy meal.
After dinner Kate will offer an interactive concert experience, and perform many of the songs from her new album release Roses and Ravens, as well as some of her favourite cover songs, and older originals. Expect some piano, guitar, and perhaps some looping magic!

Location: Wasaga, ON
Morning for Families 11-11:45 am - $25/individual, or $35/family
Join Kate in singing some new (and maybe some familiar!) nature songs. This portion will be a combination of performance, and participation in singing and use of props. We will do some animal-form movements and other activities to engage the senses as we explore our voices together.
Potluck Lunch Break - 12 - 1pm
Afternoon for Older Birds (age 15 and up) 1-4 pm - $35/person
Dive deeper into meaningful songs that can become powerful tools and positive mantras in your life. Kate will break down beautiful harmonies and multi-layer "good message" songs, and bring all voices together in the experience of song. Kate will also share the origin stories behind her and other songwriters' work, so that the accurate lineage can carry through as you go forward and perhaps share these songs with others.
When we sing with our truest voices, we can feel connection with everything around us. Kate will integrate self-exploration exercises and nature connection routine, which can help you on your own song-writing journey, and put you in touch with your true inner voice.
Evening Around the Fire – Free
4-5pm
(weather permitting)
Let's get together for a casual song-share. Kate will hold the container for the circle, and everyone is welcome to bring a song or two to share. This is a good opportunity to practice your own song-teaching skills, and/or to just enjoy the age-old tradition of singing in community, around a crackling fire.
