Singing as Connection
Singing is a primary and primal means of communicating, of connecting to intention and meaning, of touching our deeper selves and allowing what is there to come forth. It can be prayer, healing, expression, celebration, release. It shows us as we are, and it can show us where we are.
When we sing, something happens beyond the words and the melody. We listen, we breathe, we feel, we become present. Our voices carry something of who we are in that moment, and when we allow ourselves to be heard, we have an opportunity to meet ourselves with greater honesty, tenderness and curiosity.
Singing in community is a particular kind of magic. When voices come together, something larger than any one person emerges. We listen to one another, find our place within the whole, and discover that our individual voice matters while also becoming part of something shared. Singing has the power to bridge chasms, soften boundaries and create bonds that might not otherwise develop.
For me, singing is a deeply meaningful way of being together. It gives us a simple, beautiful container in which to listen, connect, express, play and work towards something together. There is no need to perform, impress or get it “right”. There is simply the invitation to arrive, breathe, and sing and I guarantee your singing skills will improve along the way! I do organise performances for my choirs but they are optional and the focus is always on connecting through the songs over impressing an audience.
None of this requires prowess or prior experience. Singing for connection and community is a birthright, not something that requires talent, permission or a particular kind of voice. You do not have to consider yourself a singer to sing.
You get to sing. Your voice gets to be heard and “It gets to feel good” as my mentor Lisa Doscher said.
All of my singing offerings are open to everyone, regardless of where you are with your singing experience. Whether you sing every day, haven't sung since childhood, or feel a little nervous at the thought of making your voice heard, you are welcome here.
Come as you are, and let us find out how good it can feel when we sing together.
