Hi Dear Ones!
Kjersten here, (pronounced shares-ten).
Community song leader, beauty activist, organizer, event producer, artist, Earth lover, grief tender and all-around sharer of good things - times ten.
I would love to continue hosting community singing events to bring us together in harmony, amplifying the love and belonging that we experience by singing together. Your support will help me keep these offerings accessible and ongoing. The balance between "paid work" and "working for change" has tilted towards the mostly giving side lately and I have fallen behind on rent. Might you have a little extra change to help me rest and catch up? Every.drop.counts!
Even $5 is valuable and helpful.
Your "reward"? The satisfaction of knowing your dollars are supporting someone you care for who works for the changes we want to see in the world! And, an open invitation to join me anytime -
in song and solidarity in and around Champinefu (Corvallis, OR).
Here are links to some of the community tending efforts I am intimately involved in:
Cascadia Song Rise - Community Song Gathering
Singing Resistance Corvallis - Song Leader
No Food Left Behind - Youth Outreach and Climate Action
And, I've been hosting monthly community song circles in Corvallis for over a decade. Recordings of some of my original songs can be found on bandcamp
With enough support, I may even have some spaciousness to record more songs!
Much of this heart work comes with minimal financial support but aligns completely with my values and vision of hope for our shared future.
Who's with me? Let's keep singing, keep loving, keep grieving, keep tending to the youth and their future, together!
Organizer
