A fall choral retreat sounds exciting, right? Singing. Laughing. Making memories with new friends… old friends. Eating. Some sleep. More singing. Long walks along Lake Simcoe. Gorgeous fall colours. Joyful escape to a different reality for a while. It’s what you need. It’s what we all need, especially when the weather starts to turn cold and grey.

But there will be lots of chatting and friendship making as well.

New Beginnings

Cantala Choir and I had our first in person rehearsal in two years in February 2022 and for so many reasons, it feels like a new beginning.

So consider this: what about changing “hundred of years-old sacred text” to a sacred text that is relevant to our human society today? Radical idea? Read on.
