Your Voice Is Meant To Be Here
About
Songbird Supper Club is a local gathering rooted in one belief: when we feel safe enough to express our truth, the entire community thrives. Songbird is a place where support flows easily, where reciprocity feels natural, and where the voices that have been silenced—women, QTBIPOC+, and those of the Global Majority—are cherished, centered, and amplified. We gather to rebirth the “village”, through listening, supporting, celebrating, and softening our edges. It is where mutual care, shared stories, and our many artistic creations and generative knowledge become the hearth that warms us all. As the world has shifted, so has Songbird. What began in 2022 as an intimate performance series has evolved to include Village Connection Labs, where guest leaders assist in bridging divisions, community healing, and broadening awareness. Our events weave together shared meals, artistic and educational offerings, and conversations that invite depth, curiosity, and courage. At Songbird, we let go of perfection, the need to be right, and open our minds to nuance. We allow ourselves to be vulnerable, bold, messy, curious. We come not to perform but to connect and belong, to finally hold the antidote to societal isolation and expectations that have harmed and limited us and our ecosystems. All are welcome to join this growing circle. We are now also offering a free Songbird Global online community for women-identifying artists and creators, planting seeds for Songbird Supper Clubs to happen all over the world.

Soulbirthing
Begins March 1 - Pay What You Can
Led by Cashavelly and in its fourth year, Soulbirthing is a lab for women to experiment with our innate power, authenticity, and creative expression. We practice clearing the blocks within us to become an open channel so that all we imagine can be birthed into the world. In this series of 4 workshops throughout the year, we will delve into the mysteries of wholeness through 13 Celtic archetypes that align with the seasons as a springboard for awakening, integrating, and expressing our many facets of Self. We will embody the creative process, connect to our personal stories, heal sisterhood wounding through safe connection, and explore meditations, imaginative exercises, and self-designed rituals. With all these resources, you will learn how to self-regulate in the face of the unknown, trust your intuition, & claim your innate and generative power.
Held at 18 Springs at 2424 Reynolda Road in Winston-Salem on March 1, June 7, September 6, and November 22 from 4-6pm. Participants can attend all 4 workshops, or take them separately.

Sustainable Activism

Keck is the co-founder of 7 Directions of Service (7DS) with his wife Dr. Crystal Cavelier-Keck, rooted on her ancestral Occaneechi-Saponi lands in the rural Piedmont region of North Carolina. 7DS began as a culture class and youth program, and has grown into a regional grassroots mobilization platform, focused on environmental justice, cultural revitalization and Indigenous rights.
6pm EST ONLINE - Free
Basketweaving & Community Shadow Work
May 2 - Tiered Rates
These two workshops can be taken together or separately on the same day. Held on local land, Earth Skills Teacher Frea Wild will guide us to make a hanging willow spiral basket. This is a class for total beginners as well as seasoned crafters and basket makers unfamiliar with the spiral weave technique. We will discuss the lineage of willow basketry while acknowledging the history of the land we are gathered upon, the reality of materials accessibility for different people, various ongoing genocides, and an acknowledgement of white-body supremacy. Please note this class requires average-moderate hand strength and may not be a good fit for those with hand sensitivities including hand injuries and arthritis. Participants are encouraged to bring a sharp pair of pruning shears if they have one. Additionally, shears will be provided for participants to use. Capacity: 10-12. Age: 18+. Cost: free for People of the Global Majority; $80 for people not of the Global Majority.
For those who want to stay, or new participants can join, the second workshop will be community shadow work. This group discussion is an invitation to take a collective look inward and explore some edgy but important topics together as a community. It may require a degree of courage to participate since we'll be discussing some tender topics that are typically swept under the proverbial rug. We will look at the questions of: What are some of our community shadows? Can we acknowledge white-body supremacy and the ways it might be showing up at our events, in ourselves, and even at this gathering? What does reparations mean to you? How are we decolonizing? What does it look like to go beyond land acknowledgments and do true right relations work? Everyone is welcome and will be asked to agree to respectful agreements. Capacity: 24. Age: 18+. Cost: no charge for People of the Global Majority; $10-$30 income-based sliding scale exchange for people not of the Global Majority; thirty percent of proceeds will be redistributed to the the National American Indian Women's Association - NAIWA (15%) and the local Winston-Salem organizations How are the Children, L.I.T. City Freedom School, and the Our Opportunity 2 Love and Heal Coalition (15%).
Learn more about Frea and register HERE. Held at 354 Walkertown Guthrie Road in Winston-Salem, 10am start time. Please bring a water bottle and bagged lunch. This program will be held outdoors, with a covered/rain location available if needed.
Survival 101 - Becoming Human Again
June 13 - Free
In this experiential workshop, we’ll slow down, step outside, and remember what it feels like to be fully human again. Survival 101 is less about “roughing it” and more about reconnecting to the wisdom already living inside us. Through hands-on demonstrations of foundational survival concepts—human needs, natural awareness, the simple “superpowers” we forget we have—and a guided somatic walk through the woods, we’ll explore both the outer and inner landscapes that shape our sense of belonging. Participants will learn how nature connection can support nervous-system regulation, how to listen to felt sense, and how to return to a grounded, embodied presence. This workshop is designed as a gentle, welcoming doorway into being more at home in yourself and on the earth. All experience levels are welcome. To learn more about Luke’s programs HERE.
Held at 354 Walkertown Guthrie Road in Winston-Salem from 4-7pm. Please bring a water bottle and snack. This program will be held outdoors, with a covered/rain location available if needed.
