Together, We're Raising Voices for Good.


​Why sing together? Because it just feels better!

​Singing combines breath-work, toning, and language to directly organize the nervous system. Singing in groups greatly reduces inflammation, boosts immunity, and supports mental and emotional health. It sets the stage for belonging, while honoring diversity.

​Our songs spread the message of love, regeneration, and interdependence with the natural world. Think Waldorf meets Earth-Centered Gospel choir. 


Season Two begins in early September 2025, concluding with a benefit concert in November. Rehearsals are held weekly in Lemon Grove, and a Northeast County location to be announced soon. Drop-off available for ages 5-12. ​Parents and siblings are welcome to stick around, and sing along!​

​​​​Tuition is based on a rate of $36 per class, and we offer a variety of discounts to make this program accessible for all. 
Let's grow! 


Season Two Enrollment Opens in July!

Select scholarships and discounts are available! Contact us for details.
