Full Voice

Your voice matters. Based on your tone and expression alone listeners make up their minds about you before they even process the meaning of your words. And if what you say is at odds with how you say it, they can miss your message altogether.

Coming Home

All proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to benefit 50 Lanterns, a non-profit dedicated to bringing solar technology to some of the poorest people in the world. www.50Lanterns.org

The Flowering Women -- Lia Falls, Maria Genne', Debra Lach, Barbara McAfee and Teresa Riley-Baecker -- have been meeting together in circle for several years to tell stories, make beauty, laugh, cry, and heal.

Singing has become a deep joy for us, one we began sharing with other members of our community. We were inspired to make a recording that would be lovely to listen to and would also support other groups in singing together.

"As someone who has dedicated my life work to the study and practice of arts-based learning, I can say that Barbara McAfee is an exceptional contributor to this emerging practice and pioneer in this intersection of arts and the workplace. The moment that Barbara opens her mouth, she begins sharing her gift of an amazing voice. At the same time, her music and one of a kind teaching opens our hearts to a joyful exploration of teams, collaboration, and new insights to our leadership presence. Through playfulness and music Barbara invites us to build community and tune in to the value of creative forms of conversation."
