Alyson, LMFT

"Working with Lauren was truly life changing. At the end of our class I was able to sing in public more confidently, but honestly, that wasn’t the most important part of what I got out of the class.  I learned to love myself more. I learned to let my little one inside play and be silly. I remembered how much I love being spontaneous and outrageous with other people who love to do the same. I learned to let my joy and love and passion start to flow again. Singing is important, but letting myself feel myself again changed me in ALL areas of my life. I feel more connected to myself and I’m really falling in love with myself and I KNOW that all of this started with Lauren’s class." 

howdy friends!

Lauren Arrow (she/her) is a queer Jewitch Songtender and Facilitator based in the San Francisco Bay Area on unceeded Miwok and Pomo land. After overcoming a debilitating fear of singing and sharing her voice, she has spent the past 13 years dedicated to holding trauma-informed singing circles, helping people reclaim their voices and embrace their creativity and musicality through her organization, ProcessSING.


Lauren facilitates everything from intimate singing retreats to massive song festivals, absurdist political ritual theater, and everything in between. She lives for the magic of group singing and knows her job is done when people cry, dance—or both (simultaneously?)


She is the founder of The Big Effin’ Sing, serves as the Cantorial Soloist at Chochmat HaLev, and co-teaches Singing the Great Turning alongside Jess Serrante of the We Are The Great Turning podcast with Joanna Macy. She's also currently writing "Project 2025: The Musical!" on all Meta platforms.

When I started working with Lauren, I was terrified to share my voice. I believed if I sang in a vulnerable and authentic way in front of people, they would not like me or want to be my friend! I had a strong desire to grow and share more as a singer and musician, but the fear was holding me back. I needed support working through emotional barriers to sharing my voice. After working with Lauren, I am singing in open mics, writing music, and growing creatively beyond my wildest dreams! This process has literally changed my life.

​

Lauren's approach is not like any vocal teacher you will experience. She creates a warm, loving, inclusive and trauma informed approach to create safety allowing creativity to grow despite worry and fear. She has taught me methods to understand and incorporate my fears, breaking down the walls that block my inner artist. Her circles and group experiences are fun, playful, heart opening, and deeply spiritual. Thank you, Lauren for all you do!!!

Since 2013, Lauren Arrow has helped people reclaim their voices through trauma-informed singing groups, guiding those who once believed they couldn’t sing into full creative expression. As a ceremonialist, ritual artist, and song-weaver, she creates spaces where people can dive deep into their inner and outer worlds through voice, community, and song.


Lauren’s journey wasn’t straightforward—for years, she battled intense fear and self-judgment around singing. The mere thought of sharing her voice made her throat close, and she believed she would never be “good enough” to sing in front of others. Yet something within her knew she had to—not just for herself, but for others who had silenced themselves in the same way. Through years of meditation, psychotherapy, and immersive healing practices, she uncovered a truth that changed everything: Singing wasn’t just a skill—it was a lifeline, a healing force, and a radical act of self-liberation.

She's also collaborated with Ila Cantor, Melita Silberstein of Octopretzel, Alex Kugler's Hebrew Mystic, Ali Maya, Matt Takiff and countless others. She leads women’s and trans/enby singing circles, absurdist political ritual theater, and massive song gatherings, always weaving together music, healing, and community.
