About Us

Wholehearted Community Song Circles are drop-in group singing opportunities in Big Sur and Carmel, CA. They are open to all and require no commitment or previous singing experience. These offerings are led by graduates of Lisa Littlebird’s Songleader Flight School (not by Lisa), with the intention to create a more harmonious community through singing.

All songs are learned by heart, in the ancient oral tradition without sheet music. Occasionally, we invite guest song leaders to come and lead special ticketed events in our area.

Though we suggest a $15 contribution for each circle, any amount is appreciated and no one is turned away if they cannot contribute. These funds help cover expenses including venue rental fees and hosting guest leaders.

Community Well-Being Guidelines

We (WCSC) are a community organized group dedicated to community singing in a safe, inclusive, diverse and equitable space. All voices are welcome without audition. We learn songs through listening and delight in the harmonies we create together.

We strive for unity and compassion in our shared time. With consideration for others, please take care of your own needs whenever possible. If there is something we would benefit from knowing, or a request of the group, feel free to include it in the announcement portion of the evening or to speak privately with one of the WCSC Council members.

Here are some examples of considerations each of us can make while keeping the group dynamic in mind:

Wear layers. Regulating our venues’ temperature to suit everyone is difficult.
Limit fragrances since we are in close quarters and others may have sensitivities/allergies.
Once we have begun singing, please refrain from private conversations.
Feel free to stand or sit for your comfort.
Turn your phone off or put it on airplane mode if you want to record.
If you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms, please stay home.
