SINGING CIRCLE
A ceremonial space for voice, prayer, and collective intention
At Yura, the Singing Circle is a living practice where voice becomes prayer and community becomes medicine.
A space to gather, listen, and share what lives in the heart.
What Is the Singing Circle?
Each Singing Circle may include different elements, depending on the group and intention. These elements are always held with respect, consent, and care.
Prayer with tobacco, copal, roses, and cacao
Mantras and devotional chants
Sacred songs from the Amazonian forest
Medicine music shared with humility and respect
Collective intention-setting and heart sharing
Silence, listening, and integration
A Space for Community & Intention
The Singing Circle is a place where the community is invited to share what they wish to cultivate in their lives and bring into the world.
Some circles are open to everyone.
Others are held for specific intentions or groups.
In all cases, the focus remains the same:
presence before sound
intention before expression
listening before singing
This creates a field where each person can arrive as they are.
Everyone Is Welcome to Sing
You do not need experience to join the Singing Circle.
This space welcomes:
people who have never sung in public
beginners and shy voices
experienced singers and musicians
Each person is invited to sing when they feel ready — or simply to listen.
There is no pressure and no hierarchy of voices.
The circle is held so that every voice matters.
Music as Prayer
In the Singing Circle, music is approached as prayer.
The songs may come from different devotional and ancestral traditions and are shared in a way that is accessible and respectful.
Repetition, simplicity, and collective rhythm allow the group to enter a shared state of presence.
This is music medicine — not as performance, but as remembrance.
How the Circle Is Held
The Singing Circle is facilitated by Ariê, together with musicians and space holders from the Yura community.
The role of facilitation is to:
hold a grounded and safe ceremonial field
guide the collective rhythm and flow
protect the intimacy and integrity of the space
Each circle is adapted to the group while remaining rooted in the same essence.
Singing Circle for Retreats & Curated Program
The Singing Circle can also be offered as a curated experience for retreats, hotels, and partner spaces.
It can be integrated into:
multi-day retreats
opening or closing ceremonies
evening community gatherings
special moments of intention and integration
Each collaboration begins with a conversation, ensuring alignment with the intention, group, and context.
