Circle of Song:
A Community Building Experience

The Circle of Song Experiential Activity is a two-hour program designed to experience the joyful connection of community through song and movement. 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
