We meet regularly to learn simple songs by ear and sing them together — no sheet music, no performance. Just people, voices, and connection. It's about dropping in, having fun, and getting free.
AGREEMENTS:
Come As You Are — You do not need to prepare anything, perform, or be "good." Just come, and be yourself.
Participation Over Performance — This isn’t a show. We make it together. Join in however you’d like—sing, hum, tap, or listen.
Meet Your Edge — Song may seem cute, but you will feel stretched—being seen, using your voice, and feeling deeply.
Hold Each Other Well — Your not the only one taking a risk. Bring warmth, generosity, and respect towards others.
Meet Yourself Kindly — Be gentle with what arises (singers are prone to tears, ecstasy, and a spontaneous sense of belonging)
Take Care of Yourself — Be responsible for your own needs. Take breaks, adapt, & participate at whatever level feels good.
Carry It Forward — We teach songs so that you can take them into your everyday life. No instruments required.
Two years ago, I founded Missoula Sings to create more connection, aliveness, and belonging in my life.
Whether I’m designing homes, leading singing circles, or guiding clients through inner transformation, my work is always about this: building belonging.
As an architect, I know how our built environment subtly shapes our lives and relationships. But how we live cannot single-handedly heal the disconnection so many of us carry inside. That’s why my work is holistic — bridging the inner and outer worlds. I help people heal the internal survival patterns that block aliveness, and create the external conditions where connection and purpose can thrive. I am an:
Award-winning & published architect
Two-time TEDx Speaker
Founder of Architecture of Belonging
Founder of Missoula SINGS (450+ person song community)
BodyMind Maturation coach (in training)
International song-leader & trainer

"Creating and expanding communities full of song and genuine connection is what drives me forward."
[These communities] help me move through the horror I feel about the future for all of us, for my children. It's more meaningful to me than I can express. - Julia

"This has changed my life! I feel braver, more connected to myself, and a part of something real & incredibly unique."
There's the space of song circle itself, where I feel alive and joyful and held by community. But there's also the way I carry what I've learned throughout my everyday life—I suddenly feel it is essential to carry song where I go and to share it with others. - Jamie

"I now share song with my family in my home, with my men's group and with my communication classes."
I [felt] welcomed immediately to the group. Right away I liked the invitation to authenticity and sharing from the heart, and the modeling of being open and honest and transparent and seeing others step into that. - Patrick

"This work gives me hope that someday, what will be weird is to not sing with your people."
I am very excited about continuing to normalize the ancient tradition of coming together in song. - Anonymous

"I am learning to trust my voice again."
And am learning that safety is available in vulnerability. I’m starting to allow myself to be seen more, bit by bit. - Anonymous

"[Singing] has helped me orient towards a light inside me I didn’t even know was there."
i consider myself a loving, compassionate, helpful person but sometimes my heart hurts too much to help anyone, even myself. I learn a new song every single time that helps me conquer depression in some way. - Chloe


Song-leadership isn’t about expertise. It’s about presence, truth, and vulnerability.
We’re not training solo performers or polished musicians. You’re not expected to be the star. You are the channel.
This work isn’t for a specific subculture. It's for everyone. Diversity, and true inclusivity, is how communities thrive.
You don’t become free by waiting until you’re "ready,” but by leading others into greater expression.
I didn’t choose this path — becoming a song-leader happened to me. I followed the music without knowing where it would lead, and in doing so became more fully the person I was meant to be. If you’re here, you likely feel that pull too — the music inside you wanting to come alive.
For years, I tried to “get it right.” Show up. Do good. Be good. Yet I felt lonely, disconnected, and hungry for more freedom, aliveness and belonging. It’s easy to do a lot and still feel unchanged. You probably know that feeling.
We need resilient communities now more than ever — and you sense it. Singing is one of the most powerful tools we have to regulate, connect, and remember we belong. But this cannot be created alone. Every person who steps in becomes part of the heartbeat. Embodied song-leadership asks something real of you: to be seen, to lead, to grow — for your own becoming and for the communities you touch.
This program teaches you how to embody leadership, take risks, and hold space for ordinary people to show up fully. There is no better practice ground. That’s why this works.
