Experience the joyful healing power of the voice through ancient and contemporary songs sung in community led by Maggie Wheeler and Arnaé Batson.

There is a healing power that comes from singing together, say Maggie Wheeler and Arnaé Batson, performing "We Came Here to Remember."

Experience the deep, healing power of the voice as we learn and sing ancient and contemporary songs of joy and healing.

Together, led by passionate singers Maggie Wheeler and Arnaé Batson, we embark on a vocal journey to investigate the vibrational power of song. From chants and spirituals to protest and original music, we sing open the doors to a deeper level of listening to one another.

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.

Family Week

There is something for everyone at Family Week.

  • Workshops for the grownups that teach skills or help you relax or give you a renewed sense of purpose. The schedule is more flexible than at other times so that the most important people in the world—parents—can get a well-deserved rest.
  • And for the kids there are camps that engage their body, mind, and spirit, get them outside on our beautiful campus, help them make friends, and instill the values of cooperation, compassion, and joyful living.

Adult Workshops meet each morning from 9:30 a.m.–Noon, and Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m. On Thursday afternoon from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m., take time off to relax or enjoy a Dabblers Delights—classes in music, dance, wellness, yoga, and more, led by workshop teachers and special guests.

Kids Camps meet every morning from 9:00 a.m.–Noon, and every afternoon from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

In the evenings, everyone gathers for family entertainment.

Please note: If you don't have children you may participate in this program, but be advised almost 200 children are on campus, and services and schedules are geared for children and families.
