Soulful Singing — by Wendy Luella Perkins

Soulful Singing™ is a joyful approach to singing that celebrates your unique voice, fosters creativity and play, and nurtures living in the present moment. In song and silence, you'll be invited to breathe intentionally and listen deeply, awaken to the now and celebrate life. All voices are welcome to these experiential, meditative and renewing times. Come with an open heart, and bring along any rhythm instruments you have. Leave with songs in your heart and a deep sense of joy and connection.

Wendy Luella Perkins is a Unitarian Universalist minister and lifelong singer who explores the interplay between singing and spirituality. She developed Soulful Singing (singing as a spiritual practice) in 2002 from her love of singing for the simple pleasure of it, and from her desire to create communities of joy and transformation. She offers several ongoing Soulful Singing groups in and around Kingston and facilitates singing workshops throughout the country. Wendy brings lively enthusiasm and spiritual depth to all that she does. A prolific writer of folk songs and meditative chants, Wendy is also a committed community activist, weaving singing and social transformation into her everyday life.

Soulful Singers on Soulful Singing

“Soulful Singing is unique and incredible—it feeds my soul, my heart, my mind. It is like nothing else I have ever experienced. If you value community, creativity, fun and spirituality on your own terms, you will love Soulful Singing. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t think you can sing. Come on out and be delighted.” L.F.

“I think what makes it work is the warm, accepting, creative atmosphere that underlies the experience - this makes for a safe, nurturing, open space to explore and enjoy the delight of making music in harmony (and even in disharmony!) with others. There is no right way to do things and experimenting is encouraged. What more could one ask?!” R.S.

“I was new to Kingston and looking for something that would rock my soul...I cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel towards Wendy and the other participants; for their presence, their willingness and sometimes their silliness. I have found my voice, and have even written a few songs!” E.C.W.

“I am a new comer to the group, with little singing experience, but was welcomed with quiet cheer and instant harmony - literally! A refreshing pause amongst hectic weeks that reaches right down to my boot straps and resonates sweetly.”K.R

“I love to sing with others, but I found myself frustrated with traditional choirs that didn’t provide room for spontaneity, creativity and collaboration in singing. Soulful Singing was exactly what I was looking for – an opportunity to strengthen my singing with a group of people who are willing to be amazed at the beauty we can create together through music.” H.G.
