Singing Open the Heart

If I cannot fly, let me sing. —Stephen Sondheim

Singing is one of the most accessible pathways to an unlimited, joyful life force. Lisa G. Littlebird cultivates a supportive playground of group harmony and sound, teasing out an easy, authentic connection to yourself and others. Through gentle, exploratory invitations and a repertoire of more than 500 oral-tradition songs to choose from, she invites singers to expand and delight in the full potential of their voices. Her style is shaped by 30 years of vocal training and rooted in compassionate awareness practices. She is a Big Sur resident and has been leading singing classes at Esalen for more than a decade. This workshop is designed for singers of all abilities and levels of experience, including no experience or negative experience in need of healing. Come prepared to find your voice (and not just your singing voice!), explore your capacities with curiosity, contribute your spirit in our co-created circle, and collect songs and tools to nourish your well-being and enrich your life.
