Circle of Song:
A Community Building Experience

Julie uses harmonizing, circle dances and sound healing interactive circles to build community. She then teaches the group a song and they become a contemporary gospel choir.

“ Last September, I was sitting on the fence, thinking about whether I should join the Singspiration Singers, when a friend said to me "It will change your life!" I joined. There is a space, between the musical notes, that provides an opportunity for your soul to evolve and expand exponentially. ”

...Cindy Frewin

“ Unlike a lot of people in the choir, I came to it with a lot of performance experience, making my living as a singer for a number of years. Fatigue from the long hours and frustration with the downsides of the entertainment business had killed my love of music and I had stopped singing entirely. Then I found Julie – or she found me! I joined Singspiration and slowly my heart opened up to song again. Julie's direction helps me a better singer and the community of choir members helps me be a better man. ”

...Tony Cella
