TESTIMONIALS

What a wonderful and enriching experience  ATWI was for me.
Cara is a talented leader and brings incredible heart, clarity, skill and talent to the training. This was my first experience in a training of this type and she created an energy and atmosphere of safety, acceptance, openness, joy, and of course, music.  Manel  (*special guest teacher) was a wonderful added bonus.  His talent, warmth, presence, and musical chops elevated this experience to another level. He and Cara teamed up beautifully to create a rich, and inviting container that supported our creativity, music, growth, and community.  ~Bev Hayes,  Wisconsin

ALL THE WAY IN has been a major landmark in my learning about this craft called improvisational singing. The sharing of knowledge, tools and unique perspectives by the participants is a valuable adjunct to the course materials themselves. I have made lifelong friends with whom I am sure to collaborate, in the future. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about vocal improvisation. – Emile Hassan Dyer,  California

So many times as a singer, as a seeker, I have felt alone. ALL THE WAY IN brought me into a circle of singers whose styles might vary from mine, but whose soul songs resonated and opened my heart and voice in ways I could not have imagined! Rhiannon’s open and steady guidance allowed us all to venture into new territory and come back shining with new ideas and deeper groundings in fundamentals. The journey has just begun. I am so grateful to Rhiannon for creating and improvising and holding the sacred space that ATWI is...  – Patti Schaffner,  Indiana

Deeply moving. Life changing. Unfolding and emerging relationships with land, body, voice and community. Unlocking new potentiality through music and sound. Connecting to my native roots. Breath of joy and freedom. A remembering of my true calling.  ~ Charlotte Roberts, Australia 

All the way in' is an initiation. It's an invitation and a gateway into the infinite possibilities of applying improvisation to all aspects of life. ~ Linda Stonestreet, California 

We are excited to announce Cara's  second year leading Rhiannon's ALL THE WAY IN , and  the 17th year of this mastery level program. We invite you to join  All The Way 2027.
In a course taught as a series of three long sessions, a total of 21 full teaching days, at least 5 hours per day, held in three beautiful locations during the year. Each session location is chosen for the creative powers of the community there and the natural beauty of the place, both of which contribute mightily to our study.  We will take a deep dive into the treasure of vocal improvisation. The place, the songs, the invention of each day, the need to be flexible and trusting, the circle of singers, the meeting and parting during the year with time in between to integrate and study - all of this contributes to life-changing musical growth. You can count on it. 

This course is for 16 to 20 advanced singers with a deep and daily commitment to their voices, musical lives and to building community with song. Students must be committed to the whole program. 

Stay connected. A very important goal of this course is to develop alliances and projects that could continue after the completion of these sessions. Between sessions there will be assignments and periodic check-ins through conference calls, blogging and emails. 

Cara will have a special guest teacher  in each session- someone who is a  strong teacher in their own realm, to participate and collaborate with her and with you. They will be part of all the sessions, bringing special qualities that you will find very helpful and inspiring.  NOTE: RHIANNON is THE VERY SPECIAL GUEST TEACHER in session3/Montreal!!

Session TWO
Song of Place 
Connecting  to Nature and the Circle
SPECIAL GUEST: LAUREL MURPHY 

This session brings us to the heart of the matter - connecting  to the power of sound and place. 
 The voice is deeply individual and personal,  so we will begin by acknowledging the song and ancestors of this place.  
  We will interact with our natural surroundings,  continue the deepening of our collective skills,
and expand our musicality by improvising with a local musician.
There will be an evening of CircleSinging  connecting  with the local community.
