Song-leading is the craft of forming “instant choirs" using easily learnable and singable songs - rounds, chants, part songs, etc. It's informed by countless aural traditions worldwide and across time. I have been studying and teaching actively as a community song-leader since 2009. My work as a song-leader has been significanly guided and enriched by the friendship and company of beloved elder song-leader Laurence Cole. Over the past 15 years, I've been blessed to travel, share and collaborate as a song-leader all over the country - most notably at Esalen Institute, Omega Institute, Singing Alive Cascadia (also Appalachia and Kauai), the Oregon Country Fair, the Spiritweavers Gathering, and many other song and skills gatherings that recognize group singing as a valuable tool for community evolution and healing. I'm blessed to be a part of an ever-growing family of leaders around the world. - Aimee Ringle
