Singing Facilitator, Fiona Maria, uses singing circles to help people reconnect with their voice... even when they're convinced they can't sing. Fiona leads singing circles that help people release previous voice shame, calm their nervous system, and experience the joy and belonging that come from singing with others.She teaches the songs by ear, so no musical background is needed. There's no sheet music. She never mentions soprano, alto, intervals, chords. For many, it's an unexpected tool that helps them feel more empowered when using their voice, both for singing and in other ways. This episode explores:Why singing is one of the oldest tools for healing and connectionThe myth of tone-deafness and how most people can sing more accurately than they think How singing activates 10 areas of the brainThe power of harmonizing with people you’ve just met and why it brings diverse people togetherFiona has been singing & performing professionally for over 20 years. She was part of a vocal/instrumental Latin duo, Caramba, for many years before she started holding singing Circles and workshops in workplace and community contexts.
