Intergenerational
Sister Song Circle
Bridging Worlds offers monthly Sister Song Circles open to the women and mamas of Fort Wayne.
Voice is the original musical instrument and there is no human culture, no matter how remote or isolated, that does not sing.
Singing is for us all.
Singing in circle improves mood, reduces stress, and connects us deeply to ourselves, our children and other women.
​
With empathy and open hearts free of judgement, we kindle our inner Light, explore mindfulness practices
and weave our voices in a safe, and supportive intergenerational sisterhood.
​
-
There are no auditions, no solos, no performing, and no reading music.
-
Just simple songs taught by ear through repetition in group.​
-
Everyone who identifies as a woman is welcome, including mothers with their children.
-
All children including nursing infants are welcome in the circle as able.
-
We provide the option of a children's chaperone in the adjoining activity room.
*Made possible by attendee contributions, donor sponsorships, and three local female-led organizations:
Bridging Worlds, Sophia’s Portico, and Beacon Heights
We respect all journeys and paths of faith, value ancient traditions of women's circles.

"Music not only stirs the soul, but can create such a powerful positive energy that can heal. Imagine what singing with others, like our Sister Song Circle, can do for our community, and even the world. "
-Shelly Stump
"The collaborative meal prior to Sister Song Circle builds a sense of relaxed belonging and serves as an extra layer of warmth and sisterhood before singing with women you may be meeting for the first time."
- Jennifer Moore
"I left Sister Song Circle feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a beautiful community. I would invite any woman seeking connection, empowerment, and a renewed sense of sisterhood, to join us."
- Marialyn Bazile
"In these times when we can know the violence and heartbreak that happens around the world we must nourish ourselves and one another all the more intentionally and generously. As women gather to sing together, singing each other's favorite songs, singing gentle lullabies, singing in many languages, singing of strength and hope, singing that creates and celebrates beauty - we generate more love among us, within each of us--to sustain each woman, each family--to share widely."
- Anna Lisa Gross
