Hello Friends!

I’m writing to share the good news that the second printing of my 2024 book ‘Song Carrier Toolkit’ is hot off the press! If you’ve been meaning to order one or would like to give one to a friend, this is a great time to do it. This is largely the same book, but with a new introduction and a few other updates that I was excited to include – because the learning never ends!

In the new introduction to the book I note and celebrate the fact that in the 16 months since the first 1000 books were sent out into the world, our country is moving at a pace toward once again becoming a singing people. We see the work that the songs can do to draw and hold us together.

Would you like to order this or others of my books? Note that there are bulk discounts for the Song Carrier Toolkit. You can learn more and place an order here: https://www.centerforbelonging.earth/store

Recently I drew a road map for the journey of a song carrier, one that names the worthwhile and accessible steps that we can take along the way toward skillfulness and confidence. Would you like to see it? Here's the link: https://www.centerforbelonging.earth/aboutcommunitysinging

I wish you well in all of your endeavors, and I thank you for helping to be part of the great song of life!

Liz
