Registration is now closed for our retreat
Heart Songs & Circle Songs was launched in 2018 by Heather Pierson and Rev. Bernice Martin with the release of their first songbook—a sheet music collection of 37 chants, rounds, and songs of peace, empowerment, wonder, joy, and community. The songs are intended for community sing groups, hospice choirs, churches, schools, and anywhere that the ideals of harmony and unity may take hold. This growing repertoire now includes a Volume 2 songbook, containing 66 brand new songs from Heather and Bernice, and several recordings, including their latest CD, Open Channel. CDs and books are available at the online store.
Heart Songs & Circle Songs is an ongoing interactive project to nurture harmony and community in the world through the teaching and sharing of original songs. In worship service, song circle, workshop, or concert format, Heather and Bernice are available to bring this work into churches, schools, homes, community centers, and informal gatherings.
