The Power of Singing
We are repeatedly faced with impermanence – in our bodies, relationships, and roles in the world. How do we develop the spiritual capacity and resilience to grieve that which is passing away and open to that which is coming into being? How do we integrate who we’ve been with who we are becoming? Singing empowers us to feel the feelings and open. Singing together reminds us that we are part of a process evolving within us and around us; a chorus of being that needs our voice.
SpiritSong Circle – 3rd Mondays, 7-8 p.m. Jan 20, Feb 17, Mar 17, Apr 21 at Centering Space, 14812 Lake Ave, Lakewood, OH
Centering Space is a 3-story brick house on the east and behind Lakewood Christian Academy (LCA); take the driveway across from Cook St. Drive all the way behind/around LCA until you see the house. (Centering Space is east of Lakewood Park, but there’s no entry from the park side.)
A monthly drop-in group using songs (I wrote) from the spiritual journey as journaling/reflection prompts. We sing, we journal (or reflect), we share. We relax. We open. We learn from each other and remember we’re not alone.
Led by Mary Grigolia
No need to read music or be a “good singer.” Accessible to everyone.

Workshop: Singing Your Way Through
In this workshop, I present singing as a powerful spiritual practice for moving through transition, with songs and meditations to cultivate resilience and support Life’s changes already underway.
Songs shared support changes and challenges to identity, career, life purpose, meaning, family, relationship, health and well-being, spirituality, caring for others, faith in Life, end of life, and the ever-changing relationship with God-Spirit-Life, the soul or Deepest, Wisest Self .
By singing, meditating, journaling, and sharing, we explore the inner terrain of transition, letting go, and transformation. You will leave with new songs and chants to continue your exploration and with allies to share the journey.
Don’t think of yourself as a singer? Come anyway. These are songs you’ll love to sing. No need to read music.
Bring Singing Your Way Through to your congregation or spiritual exploration, yoga, or study group
