Sacred singing circle is a participatory, communal song tradition that arose within counter‑culture gatherings in the 1970s, especially at Rainbow Gatherings in the United States. People form a circle and share simple, repetitive songs, chants, and mantras, often learned orally and passed from person to person. Performances are loosely structured: anyone may start a song, invite call‑and‑response, add harmonies, or support with hand percussion and acoustic instruments. The emphasis is on shared presence, spiritual intention, and collective sound rather than on virtuosity or fixed repertoires. Musically it draws from folk strum patterns, modal drones, and global devotional practices (e.g., mantras and call‑and‑response chanting). Lyrical themes commonly honor nature, interconnection, healing, peace, and gratitude.
