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 One runs from April 17th through June 5th, concluding with a benefit concert for our local non-profit partner, the Berry Good Food Foundation. Rehearsal classes are every Thursday from 3:30 - 5:00 pm at Helix Haven (a private residence located in the Mt. Helix neighborhood of San Diego). 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!
