This a very random small thing but I have been thinking about writing a post about singing / call and response at EAGs / EA meetups. There are a few studies pointing to a relationship between communal feeling and singing together, it seems to be pretty cross-cultural so I feel like it might be a cost-effect way to increase the feeling of community. I also felt a bit lonely at the start of my first EAG and I was thinking that this might have helped.
It would probably costs too many weirdness points but I feel like it could still be interesting to explore.

I’d be interested in seeing the research on singing!
I don’t know if EAG is really the place for that, but people often bring instruments to retreats and smaller events and I think they add a lot.
