"This has been one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my entire life! I wanted to have the experience of performing and becoming more confident in my voice in general and all of my life, not just singing. It was AMAZING to work with Lauren. She is so gifted and we had some of the most amazing one-on-one sessions... In the end we got to perform with a band to back us up and that was THE MOST INCREDIBLE FEELING to do that! I had soo much fun and I highly recommend it! -Chesney
"It was deep, it was rich, it was emotional, it was intense, it was really incredible. I felt super supported- Lauren is a magician. I wanted to get more comfortable singing in front of people and I wanted that moment where I was coming out as a singer and having that performance- the final performance was HUGE and I could really feel in my body that it HAPPENED and I feel a lot more comfortable now singing in front of people just over the course of 3 months. It’s crazy! " -Kim
"It was wonderful! Being together as a group was something I always looked forward to. I really enjoyed the one-on-one sessions with Lauren because she came and met me where I was that day- whether I needed emotional support or I just needed some vocal coaching… She’s like an earth angel and I love how she fosters creativity in everything she does- I always feel good around her! Words can’t express the impact the’s had on me. Thank you Lauren!" -Mel

Are you looking for a supportive creative container to
collaborate with singers and musicians of *all* levels?
Are you a singer/songwriter and want to get OUT into the
world but don't know how OR want support?
Do you want to share your message
through song on stage to others?
Have you ever wanted to play with a band and ROCK it?
Are you interested in learning how to
receive song and then *work* it?!
Do you want to experience the sheer joy and magick of connecting
deeply to an audience through the power of music?
If you answered YES to any of these questions... well... you know the deal... join us for this Falls HARVEST 2023!
During this 3-month container we will meet in in-person group sessions to work the songwriting process, explore blocks of sharing our song on stage, learn to transmute the energy of 'stage fright' and the stress and anxiety that comes with performance, learn vocal techniques to strengthen our sound, learn to listen for songs, receive our own music, and create a depth of community with others through this open-hearted process.
We will rehearse with a full band of professional musicians and then perform three times to our community. You will also have the option to work one-on-one with Lauren three times to deepen your creative process.
COVID Protocol: We are still in the midst of COVID without knowing where we will be in the fall/winter! Everyone will be in charge of committing to taking a rapid test before each of our in-person gatherings and PCR tests during our rehearsal/performance window in Nov/Dec. We will be singing inside with ventilation and you are invited to wear a mask if you choose. Having a previous vaccination is mandatory unless you have a medical exemption.
