Hello Singer of Wellness!

Welcome to the 7th Listener's Choice Week!
(+ Bonus 2024 East Coast A-Retreat-A-Month section below)
One of the A Breath of Song subscribers (could be you?!) shares three episodes they particularly loved, and tells us why... plus an extra nugget about themselves. It gives us all more of a sense of each other in this A Breath of Song community -- and we relish a dip into the back catalog... and don't miss TWO song retreats with info below!
These come every five weeks or so -- your picks help ease my life a bit, and give all of us a chance to explore the library. 133 songs: that's a lot of music to tap into to help navigate our complex lives! A Breath of Song is not just a podcast, but a living library resource.
We'd love to hear your picks! Click the button to share your choices. You'll be asked why these, a nugget about you, & if you'd like, a picture would be amazing. We're so grateful for your engagement!

I'm Coming Home
by Marv Zauderer
Aliza says, "I loved that piano backdrop that you provided so we could sing on top of the track. I was so inspired that I wanted a whole album of community song tracks with just instruments that I can sing at home to."

Creature Teacher
by Hannah Jeffery
Aliza says, "Love the lyrics and the song to encourage the singer to listen to their needs and check in. I find the lyrics a little funny too with the references to these needs being creatures. Makes me giggle! Very creative."

Thank you, Aliza, for pulling these out of Year One, Two & Three... great picks to continue the listener's choice journey! I can't wait to see who's next and what they choose?!?! Might that be you? I only have one set of picks in the line-up right now...
Thank you to you for listening & singing, thank you for your comments & energy -- together, we tend this web of singers-listeners. Next week will be another new episode -- 134: "Calling Us In" by Meg O'Dell Chittenden, who is a music teacher, song leader, vocal mentor, and somatic coach, supporting individuals and couples in growth, transformation, and healing. She hosts an annual adult and family singing retreat on the coast of Maine called SongWeavers, which is currently open for registration! In Episode 135, we'll hear from Meg and her kids in a songwriter conversation.
wishing you so very well --

Hurray!!! You can go to one song retreat a month on the East Coast May-August, easy-peasy, all led by A Breath of Song participants (August's Meg O'Dell will be on ABS in two weeks, so I decided to include her retreat today.)

SINGING IN THE STREAM
July 21 - 26th
Chants, Spirituals, Songs of Joy and Healing and Contemporary Songs for the Times
WITH MAGGIE WHEELER AND ARNAÉ BATSON
FAMILY WEEK at Omega Institute
(registration opens in March)
Join us for an experience of the deep, healing power of the voice. Together, with our facilitators, Maggie Wheeler and Arnaé Batson (with percussionist Meredith Scott Lynn) we will embark on a vocal journey to investigate the vibrational power of song, including songs that have been sung through the ages–during times of struggle, resistance and triumph.
From chants and spirituals, songs of joy and healing to protest and original music, we will sing open the doors to a deeper level of listening to one another and to the unseen. Throughout the week we learn songs by call-and-response, a technique accessible to beginners and experienced singers alike. Magic happens when we are bathed in the vibrations of beautiful songs and combined voices. Singing this way relieves tension and creates a sense of well-being that resonates in our bodies and lasts far beyond the moment.
You can find Maggie on A Breath of Song episodes #4, 5, 109 & 110.
