The Heart Sings: A Course in Freedom

The Heart Sings: A Course in Vocal and Inner Freedom

6-8pm, every Wednesday Sept 3-Oct 29, 2025

Pinetree Farm 206 Old Rd, Eliot, ME

Do you want more opportunities to sing with others, in a supportive and nurturing environment? Not to rehearse for a performance, but for the pure joy of it? The Heart Sings is a space to explore, express and accept your unique voice, as it is now, through community singing - without critique or judgement.

I created this 9-week course based on decades of experience as a devotional singer and community builder, and a recently certified sound healer, and Vipassana meditation practitioner. And because I saw a true need for it. So many of us want to sing. So many of us are tired of not being ourselves (not singing or speaking up) because of what others might think of us. So many of us want real community. And every heart yearns to express itself.

Who this Course is For:

This space is for those who do and do not consider themselves singers, because singing is a birthright. Expressing our emotions and giving voice to what is in our hearts is essential to our wellbeing. And singing is a potent, healing and liberating vehicle for this vital expression.

Yet it makes sense that many of us are not comfortable with our voice - we are sorely lacking opportunities to sing together. Why would we be confident in a muscle we rarely get to use? Let's change that! And reclaim our voice as a tool for authentic expression and healing.

What to Expect:

We will gather on a weekday for 9 weeks to:

Learn healing songs and chants - many of which are spiritual in nature
Practice freeing the voice through a variety of exercises including vocal toning, relaxation techniques, improvisation, and call and response (with some movement and rhythm thrown in!)
Strengthen the ability to center yourself within through guided mindful noticing, rather than worrying about other's opinions and perceptions of you (or your singing)
Bolster the voice through singing in rounds and in harmony with each other, often accompanied by crystal bowls, drums and the Shruti Box
Be nourished by community as we support and deeply witness each other through weekly check-ins and optional group sharing

While this course will help heal your relationship with your voice and your perception of yourself, it is also for those who are already comfortable singing. It truly is for all voices - those who consider themselves singers and those who don't (yet).

Let's gather to give voice to what is in our hearts, find ease within ourselves, and connect inwardly and with each other, through song.
