The Science of Communal Singing for Healing and Wellbeing
One pathway that allows Centric Lab to resource communities in their healing and health justice practices is through presenting scientific principles and lexicon that they may be less familiar with. Science is a process of turning observations and analysis into knowledge, so communities can find new ways of interpreting what they are already practicing, communicating the benefits to others in their community, and exchanging knowledge with others interested in similar processes and outcomes.
This is a grounding document to support the use of science as a complementary way of understanding how singing in a group affects our mind, body and spirit. This document aims to showcase deeper relationality between practices, rather than a supremacy of one over the other. We will support this knowledge through introducing terms, describing various contexts, and presenting papers, articles, and other supporting work that those interested can continue to explore in more detail.
