My first singing workshop hosted by Modo Yoga in Nanaimo! CLICK HERE FOR SONG LINKS
Tone, chant, and let your voice rise and weave in community, in a joyful, inclusive song circle celebrating universal LOVE and the growing LIGHT of the new year. Sing harmony-rich chants and songs from the community singing movement led by Sylvia Humble, and a sprinkling of Kirtan led by April Laurie, all taught in the oral tradition by call and response, incorporating opportunities for creativity and movement. All voices are welcome and belong.
Singing relieves stress, strengthens the heart and lungs, enhances mood, and creates social cohesion and unity.

About Sylvia Humble:
Sylvia is a community song leader devoted to reviving our tribal roots of singing together for joy, connection and healing. After leaving her government job to follow her calling, she founded Humble Harmony in 2021 – a welcoming, non-performing community group where she teaches uplifting songs and harmonies by ear in the oral tradition, weaving in creativity and movement. Sylvia also hosts community singing events and workshops, and has become known for her joyful and skilled leadership, creating warm, accessible spaces where people rediscover the magic of shared harmony. A member of the Ubuntu Choirs Network, she shares the belief that singing together is a universal human birthright and can change the world.
