THE EXPERIENCE

Participation, Connection, Community.

We gather in song circles where voices rise together.

Simple songs shared in the open air.

Instruments are welcome when they support the singing, while the heart of the experience remains the human voice.

The Law of Mobility.

You’re welcome to follow what calls you, moving between circles as you wish and settling where the music feels alive for you.

Everyone benefits when those who remain are there by choice.

Attuned and Present.

We come together in presence.

THE SETTING

In the Redwoods.

We gather at a rustic camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains, beside a creek and beneath a wide canopy of trees.

Camping, sharing meals, wandering forest paths from one circle to another.

Together we find our rhythm in community, co-creating the Village one song at a time.

SIMPLE PRACTICES

Care for the Circle.

Song Village is held with a spirit of community care.

We protect the tenderness of the song circles so people can sing freely and listen deeply. We encourage thoughtfulness around recordings and photography, letting the experience come first, allowing the music to live fully in the moment.

You have what you need.

Come prepared for the mountain air and the rhythms of camp life.

Bring what you need to stay comfortable in the forest and the changing climate.

More than anything,

Bring Your Open Heart.

The rest will unfold.

OUR ORIGIN

Song Village was founded by Tim Hartnett, whose devotion to song and community continues to shape the spirit of the gathering.

What began as a small circle has grown into a living village — co-created each year by those who come to sing, listen, and tend the life of the village together.
