Please note: This time slot is regularly reserved for Julie Blue’s Song Circles which operate on 8-week cycles. Please check her website and register directly to learn more about the current song cycle.

Discover for yourself how singing raises inner peace, confidence, and joy.
Welcome to a singing community of song, sisterhood, and support. Through singing you’ll discover techniques to grow your confidence, be comfortable taking up space, and be heard. You’ll learn to fill yourself with your own healing frequencies through movement, breath, and sound as you release stress and physical pain.
Radiant Heart Song Circle is an intimate circle where women gather to grow their confidence, express their authentic voices, and support each other to shine. The Song Circles are led by composer and transformational voice coach, Juie Blue, who weaves effective and grounded vocal coaching with soul-liberating rituals and chants.
In this upcoming program, you will:

Discover the keys to making singing and speaking easy.
Release negative beliefs and limitations.
Feel grounded and inspired so you can share your song, story, gifts, and wisdom.
Be part of a community where you are supported to share both your strength and vulnerability.
Learn how to have a singing/chanting practice of your own to keep you grounded through challenging times.
Feel the power of connection to self and others.
Bring out your richest most resonant voice so people can not only hear you but FEEL you.

Whether you’re a seasoned singer or just starting out, you’ll be guided and supported to learn some well-known songs, explore different musical genres, and sing some of my soulful songs, African chants, and powerful Sanskrit traditional chants.
“The song circle with Julie not only helped me to be a better singer, it also helped me to be more assertive and confident with how I carry myself throughout the world.”

2026-03-27 19:00 - 20:30 | Bridge & Enrich Lives Society, 718 East 20th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5V 1N3, Canada
Ride the Rhythm is a community-based conscious movement experience exploring authenticity, presence & inner connection through shared dance.

February invites us to slow down, to listen more deeply, and to rest in the quiet spaces between movements. This Ride the Rhythm is an invitation to honour the slowness and spaciousness of the season, to move gently, breathe fully, and allow the body to unfold at its own pace. Through music, presence, and conscious movement, Hassti Hamidi is the facilitator of the evening and will guide the dance, creating a spacious container where less effort makes room for deeper connection.

What is Conscious Movement Practice/ Ecstatic Dance?
Conscious Movement Practice is a unique style of dance that is all about free expression and letting your body move to the beat of your own drum. Unlike traditional dance classes, there’s no choreography to follow or steps to learn. Instead, it’s all about letting go and allowing the music to guide you, enabling authentic movement exploration. Conscious Movement Practice has been demonstrated to help with stress and anxiety reduction, promoting alignment of mind, body, soul, and spirit. During a Conscious Movement Practice session, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for movement and self-exploration. Everyone, regardless of their dance experience, is welcome to participate and enjoy the fun.
