Come as you are. Fitz teaches each song by ear, one line at a time, until the whole room is singing together. Bring an instrument if you like, and let the jam form on its own.
- Welcome and groundingAbout fifteen minutes of settling in, with gentle breathwork to land in the room.
- Every voice, by nameWe go around the circle so everyone is heard from the start.
- Vocal warm-upA few easy exercises to wake up the voice. Nothing to get right.
- Sing and jamThen we sing together: kirtan, medicine and folk songs, plus originals and freestyles. Drums, shakers, flutes and guitars are welcome to join in.

About Fitz
I’m Fitz, a guitarist, songwriter and song circle leader in Bend, Oregon. Music has always been my way home, and I love bringing people together to sing.
Over the years I’ve been part of men’s groups and ecstatic dance, and I enjoy Kundalini and breathwork. Whenever I can, I weave a little of each into a gathering, because these powerful containers for connection and healing belong together. The songs are the heart, with breath and movement as welcome companions.
I’m happiest in nature. I deeply believe in the power of the natural world, tied together with intention and music. When we sing together, we remember the beauty and power each of us holds, and find the divine within.
