The concert will probably fill up, so be sure to get your tickets here!
What is it?
Mystic Hymnal is a growing collection of songs, resources, and events built around the practice of group singing as a way of enjoying the sacredness of the present moment together.
Mystic Hymnal’s songs are built around three qualities:
singable (simple enough that a room full of people can learn them together),
kind/unitive (rooted in presence and loving awareness rather than shame, fear, or divisive language)
beautiful (musically interesting & musically beautiful),
Mystic Hymnal events are 90-minute gatherings that combine group singing, embodiment, and guided moments of presence.
No beliefs or singing is required. And all voices are welcome.
