If you've ever felt the pull to sing but never had a place that felt safe enough - this is that place. We sing not to perform, not to impress, but to express the joy, pain and wildness of our hearts. I'll teach you easy to learn, deeply moving songs of the spirit that we'll come alive singing together. Some you'll want to belt out, and some will take you into a beautiful meditative state.

No singing experience (or skill) needed. All voices are welcome here.

Each singing circle last for 90 min. You're welcome to attend just one, or all of them! See below for upcoming circles.

PS - Feel free to bring any drums or shakers you may have!

Singing to Transcend is a half-day immersive retreat designed to lift you out of the noise of the mind and into both your body and a higher consciousness. At its center is singing itself — the kind of sustained, communal, cyclical singing that has been used across cultures and centuries to shift consciousness, open the heart, and carry people into augmented states of being. Through themed reflection and guided singing and chanting, we build toward that transcendence together: getting free of fear and anxiety, setting down the heavier parts of being human, and rising into a felt sense of wholeness.

And don't worry — we won't be singing for 4 hours straight! Singing will be interspersed with meditative group reflection, optional sharing, guided visualization and journaling to help you go deeper into the practice.

Whether you come seeking a break from anxiety, a feeling of deep spiritual connection, or simply a few hours of feeling truly free to be yourself and sing among others, Singing to Transcend meets you where you are.

Sink into a deeply restorative session that combines the healing frequencies of live sound healing and intuitive singing with the gentle energy work of Reiki. As you lie comfortably supported, sound healer Jessica Gaines will immerse you in resonant tones — crystal bowls, Shruti Box, chimes, and voice — while Reiki practitioner Pam Benedetto offers hands-on and hands-off energy healing to help release tension and restore balance.

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement experience with no choreography, no steps to learn, and no right or wrong way to dance.

Guided by music, you’re invited to listen to your body and let it move however it wants to move. You might sway, stretch, stomp, shake, twirl, groove, or simply stand still. You can dance your joy, your freedom, your longing, your wildness — or move through whatever else you’re carrying that day.

There’s no performance and no pressure to look a certain way. It’s a space to let go of self-judgment, get out of your head, and into your body.

As we move together, something beautiful happens: community forms. Creativity opens up. The body gets to breathe, sweat, pulse, and express itself.

Come as you are. Move how you feel. There is no way to do it wrong.
