More about the song leaders:
Karly Loveling honors the whole joyous, messy, confusing, ecstatic, and heart-wrenching experience of being human in her work as a songleader, songwriter, and a permissionary of heartfelt expression. As part of the Ubuntu Choir Network, she leads a community singing group, Singing Heart Harmonies in Eugene, Oregon and online. She is also elemental in her local Singing Resistance movement. Karly has been a featured songleader at Community Singing gatherings across the United States, and is looking forward to leading her second retreat at Breitenbush Hot Springs this Summer. Her often playful, meaningful, layered songs are being sung in groups in at least 15 countries worldwide. Hear some of them on Bandcamp and join her on Patreon for $3 or more/month to hear more as they emerge while supporting her heart’s work. Follow @karlyloveling on Instagram
Katie Sontag writes and teaches nourishing songs that heal and support us. Her welcoming, trusting presence provides her circles with a safe space to grieve, celebrate, feel and be authentically together. She is a true believer in the profound healing powers of music in community. Her prolific songwriting reminds us of simple yet profound truths. Through rounds, part songs, harmonies and unison, we will revive our belonging and leave with a sense of true self worth. At Katie’s song circles, you will laugh, cry, make new friends, and feel better than when you came. Her music has been described as "a big hug." Katie’s songs have traveled all over the country and Canada. She is also a singer/songwriter, a seasoned performer and a music educator.
