What we’re about
This group is for anyone who wants to explore singing, sound, and harmonics in a spontaneous, playful, healing way. We offer a safe, supportive, judgement-free zone to explore the full expression of our creative voices and feel the power of group singing. We have four primary expressions of group singing:
• Circle Singing, an orally-led, improvisational group singing experience, based on the work of Bobby McFerrin and his collaborators.
• Vocal Meditation, a contemplative singing practice utilizing toning, chanting, soul-singing, and deep listening.
• Spontaneous A Cappella, a small-group improvisational practice wherein we create improvised songs together, without a leader. A deeper dive into improvisational singing.
What we do in every group: We have fun with our voices in a way that stimulates and strengthens the parts of our brains that foster relaxation, creativity, playfulness, and self-expression. We take inspiration from techniques developed by Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, Christa Ray, Paul Newham, Sylvia Nakkach, Laurel Elizabeth Keyes, Jonathan Goldman and others.
Who should join: Singers, non-singers, “closet” singers, shower singers, car singers, karaoke singers, kirtan singers, choir singers — anyone who wants to free their voice and open their mind for greater self-expression and creativity.
