- **Event Description**: Singing Community Into BeingAbout this EventThis is 's inaugural year. Join us! Community Singing is a uniquely powerful and restorative force, and it's high time we had a weekend-long retreat event in the Bay Area. Living Room Choir founders and facilitators are banding together with other local and visiting songleaders to create this new multi-day community singing deep dive right in our neighborhood.Songleaders and facilitators for this event are listed below. The Weavers:Amanda WestHeather HoustonKaitie Ty WarrenSara StutzSheniqua TrotmanVadan Theresa RitterThe Support Team:Aditya RajkarneAntonina BeyeaDeborah LeedsEileen HazelElizabeth MullinHot SummerJay McCarrickMarv Zauderermo washburnTrevor JusticeSome important things to know:This event is by sliding scale. Please give generously, according to your means. Every dollar goes collectively toward making this happen, so that we all may participate. If the low end of the sliding scale is a financial barrier, please reach out to us: we want you to be there. If you can give more, we welcome it; it supports working artists and financial aid. There is an EARLY BIRD SPECIAL going on right now; suggested sliding scale is currently $250-65. Each attendee needs one ticket (except babes in arms).We are gathering and singing on Ohlone land, and support Sogorea Te’s work of rematriation.Children are welcome and there will always be a crafting activity available adjacent to the singing for those it appeals to. We ask that anyone attending be of the mindset that babies and children are a valuable part of our community.All genders are welcome to sing together, in whatever parts suit their personal voices, without worry about being in the "correct" octave or being gender-assigned a certain part to sing (eg, folks who identify as men often get told to sing low parts. In this event, we leave it to each singer to decide what parts they want to sing).We believe that community requires care, especially for those most vulnerable. We will likely be asking all attendees to take COVID tests before arrival and be mindful of choices that will help us minimize risk and maximize a safe experience for all. If you'd like to know more about our approach, visit Living Room Choir's Wellness Safety Agreements. There will be ventilation. Meals will not be provided but there will be a kitchen on site with a refrigerator and microwave we can use. We will also be located less than a block from Solano Ave, which features many restaurants and grocery stores.GENERAL SCHEDULE:Friday:5:00 PM attendees arrive5:30 PM drop-in ritual together5:45 PM opening song circle8:30 PM go home for the nightSaturday:9:00 AM arrival9:30 AM opening ritual10:00 AM song circle12:00 PM lunch break1:00 PM song circle3:00 PM song circle5:30 PM dinner break7:00 PM evening circle9:00 PM close for the nightSunday:9:00 AM arrival at park venue (outdoor portion)10:00 AM Round robins12:30 PM lunch break2:00 PM opening ritual at church2:20 closing circle4:00 PM closing ritual and wrap up5:00 PM be outta thereLearn more about East Bay SongFest at !Mission Statement:To nurture the community singing movement and each of us within it.Values:We believe that community singing is about singing together and having fun, and creating a more sustainable, just world.We recognize we are building the community we want to see, and live in.We do our best to make this a space of integrity, intention, and maximizing safety to the best of our ability.We celebrate nourishment on an individual and collective level: we encourage everyone, including the song leaders and volunteers, to give and receive nourishment, support and nervous-system-gentleness leading up to, during, and after the event.We believe that, by singing together, we are practicing microcosms of what it takes to disrupt colonialism and live more gently in the world. For example, while singing a multi-part song, you have to be with yourself and with the other people at the same time. This is something many of us growing up in colonial culture haven’t grown up experiencing.We know that this event (just as people, gardens and cultures do), will evolve, grow, and clarify over time. We will commit to guide its growth in the direction of being an ever-increasingly welcoming and inclusive environment.We honor the pace of nature and recognize that we are a part of nature.We may bring in nature-based practices and rituals from the songleaders’ backgrounds; we recognize that over the years EBSF may develop its own community practices and rituals.We understand that missteps happen; when conflict arises we are committed to showing up for repair.Children are always welcome and there will always be a crafting activity available adjacent to the singing for those it appeals to. We ask that anyone attending be of the mindset that babies and children are a valuable part of our community.All genders are welcome to sing together, in whatever parts suit their personal voices, without worry about being in the "correct" octave or being gender-assigned a certain part to sing (eg, folks who identify as men often get told to sing low parts.

                "description": "Kaitie Ty Warren’sown vocal journey has taken her through decades of theatre work, singing, speech and public performance. Training with some of the best vocal teachers in the Bay Area, Seattle and Los Angeles, her experience ranges from opera and classical singing, to the destructuring, revolutionary Fitzmaurice Technique.Kaitie is an RYT-200 Certified Yoga Instructor, working with ages 4-106, and has studied under John Argue and Carol Fisher, both heavyweights in the Parkinson's therapy community in the Bay Area. Kaitie teaches both voice and yoga (or a combination of the two) privately upon request. In March of 2017 she created BE HEARD! Voice for Parkinson's, a vocal class designed to help people whose vocal support has been compromised or requires extra awareness.In 2015, Kaitie created and (and still leads) Living Room Choir, a non-audition choir in the Ubuntu Choirs Network, an international community of choirs based on the belief that it is everybody’s birthright to sing. No one is ever turned away for lack of funds, no sight reading is necessary, and newcomers are always welcome. All that's required is a desire to sing in community with others.CONTACT: ktwarren@gmail.com VISIT: www.KaitieTyWarren.com"
