Singing circles

It is a fact deeply known by many that singing is good for us. It offers us a moment out of the rush of life and It can be empowering, uplifting and moving. It can also be nerve-wracking, scary and unknown. Our singing circles aren't about judging yourself, or being perfectly in time or in tune. They're about trusting yourself just enough to give it a go - come and be part of the circle.

We always start with a moment to take a breath and feel our feet on the ground, then check in and connect with ourselves before we sing together in harmony. Don't worry if you have never done this before, or it sounds daunting - I teach all the parts by ear and will support anyone who needs it. We sing a range of songs; some old, some new, some fun and uplifting and others slower and more relaxing.

Numbers for my circles are kept small to allow for a fully immersive, connected, nurturing and therapeutic experience. While this isn't a therapy group, as a psychotherapist I hold all my circles in a way that is informed by my training, knowledge and many years of experience and there is always a therapeutic element that you can lean into should you wish. These circles are about turning up as you and giving yourself the chance to really check in and connect with yourself. Gift yourself a moment where you don’t have to hold anything, you can just be.

Many people have experienced singing at school or in a choir and may well bring memories of those experiences with then. My singing circles are not about getting it right or preparing for a concert or performance with a big group of people - we are not a choir - they are an immersive, nurturing and nourishing experience in the woods, round a fire or in our cosy studio.

Please note that by coming to one of my a cappella singing circles you agree to the terms and conditions.

Our singing circles are held indoors and outside in beautiful woodland in both Chelwood Gate and Barcombe, close to Haywards Heath, Lewes, Forest Row, Horsted Keynes, Danes Hill, East Grinstead, Crowborough and Uckfield. Unlike a choir, we meet to sing for the enjoyment and wellbeing of it and don’t perform in concerts. This is a therapeutic singing circle experience.

If you have any questions, please get in touch and I will do my best to answer them.
