Spirit song
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spirit song is name for a singing practice created by Mary Elizabeth Wheeler and Shawna Carol in 1985 after working with Susan Osborn, then the lead singer for the Paul Winter Consort. The practice is a combination of voice empowerment, emotional catharsis, and spiritual experience, or in some cases, just an opportunity for those who don't believe they can sing to try singing in a safe environment. Wheeler and Carol created the Spirit Song Institute through which they trained hundreds of participants either in the practice itself or in how to train others in the practice. The Institute subsequently disbanded in the early 1990s, but a number of disciples have carried the practice forward.
