The Common Voice:
Singing as a Catalyst for Unity
a Workshop with Helen Oney
“Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and
centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.”
-Bahá’u’lláh
Description: There are well-known signposts that any group moves through
on its way to unity. Music, and singing in particular, is a mighty tool
in achieving those signposts and propelling a group towards unity.
No musical experience or ability required -- only a willingness to
participate. We will sing together in an atmosphere of trust and
spirit. In between songs, I will share some of what I’ve learned about
creating unity and community using music.
Most of all – we will have fun!
