Do you love to sing?

Come unleash the power of your voice in a joyful evening of improvisational singing and circle songs!


Led by singer, sound healing artist, and keynote speaker Davin Youngs, Chicago Circle Singing is a welcoming, community-centered gathering where singers of all levels come together for freedom, connection, and playful musical expression.


Inspired by the improvisational practices of Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, and other vocal luminaries, Davin will guide the group through interactive vocal games and accessible exercises to warm up the body and voice. As the session flows, the magic of circle singing will unfold—spontaneous, rhythms and layered harmonies created in the moment by everyone in the room.


🎶 No Experience Necessary

Whether you’re a seasoned vocalist or someone who just loves to sing in the shower, your voice belongs here. This is an inclusive, supportive space to explore the joy of sound, expression, and community.


😰 Feeling Nervous?

We totally get it.

This gathering is designed to be a mistake-free, judgment-free, easy going environment.

We let go of the rules, restrictions, and fears often found in traditional singing settings—and just SING.

When we do, something truly magical happens.
