God(m)other Sara M. Watson wrote about a social practice that's been bringing her joy and grounding her in community in Midcoast Maine. (m)otherboard is all over the piece: from rematriating, to ritual fellowship, to surprising sources of spirituality.

Karaoke is more than entertainment. It is an ancient social technology. Studies show singing lowers cortisol and lifts endorphins and oxytocin. Singing in a group synchronizes heart rates and breathing patterns, co-regulating in collective resonance. Performing returns us to our bodies as instruments...Regular karaoke has come to hold the place of weekly congregational ritual for me, joining our voices together in something like prayer.
