What this experience is like in depth

Community Choir is a creative and expressive approach. It is an open community choir; some choirs specifically welcome grieving members. It works with the understanding that healing is not only about insight but also about what is felt, witnessed, and released in the body, relationships, and environment. In a session, you attend a weekly rehearsal, learn parts, and sing. You will stand or sit, breathe, sing. This is offered in a group setting, typically 60 to 120 minutes weekly, and this is a touch-free experience. People often choose this when they are carrying Loneliness, Grief, Emotional Numbness, and Need for Community. Over time, this work can become a way of relating to yourself with less fear and more capacity.
