Dear Community,



Our Spring concert was fabulously fun as always!
If you were in the audience that night, THANK YOU for creating such a special evening
with us! We couldn't do it without you!


And this last weekend I had the pleasure of facilitating at the Song Village event
at Camp Loma. 
What a joy to meet and share in such magic with so many lovers of nature and song! 


THIS Saturday we will be singing down by our lovely San Lorenzo River in collaboration with National Rivers day. Yala Lati will sing to you and I'll lead the community in simple songs and chants for the water. I hope you can join us! 


​​​​​​​If you've been thinking about registering for Summer singing sessions with me, it's time! We have about 10 spaces left in the Women's Spirit Song class and the Mindful Singer series is almost full, so jump on in!  


And... do we have any jazz lovers out there? Please join Dan Robbins (bass),
Ron Work (guitar), Kevin DiNoto (drums) and yours truly on vocals for an afternoon of music at Bridgwater Farm! I've been having a blast exploring my jazz voice again... it's a whole new experience 15 years later... more on that another time. 


With the love of singing in my heart,
Heather
