Mycelium Choral Project 🍄

Mycelium Choral Project operates vocal programs in Berkeley, California and New York City, specializing in non-auditioned group singing experiences focused on somatic practice and nature-based themes. The organization's core offerings include Sounding Circles and single-day choir workshops that integrate vocal improvisation, deep listening techniques, and group harmonization. These programs serve participants across age groups and skill levels, from beginners to experienced singers. The project partners with mental health organizations including The Sameer Project and collaborates with immigration advocacy groups like the Immigrant Defense Project through fundraising performances. Their programming model combines vocal instruction with environmental education and social justice initiatives. Participants connect through regular newsletters and dedicated event platforms that coordinate both in-person and virtual gatherings. Mycelium's methodology draws from three primary influences: somatic voice work, environmental systems, and community organizing principles. The organization maintains an active presence in multiple urban centers while fostering connections between local singing communities. Their practice framework integrates traditional choral elements with contemporary approaches to collective vocalization and social engagement.
