"I can't sing."
I've heard this so many times over the years.
And every single time the person who said it, sang.
"I'm tone deaf."
Heard that one too! 😄
But here's the thing if you were truly tone deaf, you couldn't tell the difference between someone from Scotland and someone from London. Real tone deafness is extraordinarily rare.
What most people actually mean is: someone once made them feel bad for singing. And they never forgot it.
Over the last hundred years in the UK, singing has shifted from something communal, healing and deeply human — into something individual and performative. We rate ourselves before we even open our mouths.
We sing less at funerals. Less in schools. Less together in community.
And we are all the poorer for it.
I have spent my career flying the flag for singing as a wellbeing practice. And the research backs it up — singing reduces stress, supports emotional wellbeing and increases feelings of connection and belonging.
But honestly? Long before the research, human beings sang together to move through loss. To grieve. To heal. To feel less alone.
That's exactly what Soul Sessions is for.
Everyone sings with their microphone off — so no one can hear you.
You are completely held in the sound without being exposed by it. No solos. No performance. No right or wrong way.
Just you, in your own space, breathing and singing alongside others who understand something about loss.
You don't have to be a singer.
You just have to be human.
First session is Tuesday 10th June at 7pm — online, just one hour, and just £20 as a founding member.
(Future sessions will be £25 — so this is the moment to jump in!)
Soul Sessions are gentle online singing experiences for people navigating grief, loss or emotional overwhelm. Through breathing, beautiful songs, gentle movement and voice, we create space for connection, release and hope. No solos. No pressure. No singing experience needed.
