Early Praise for Celebrating Sisters Singing "I walked into the Sisters Singing opening event, unfamiliar with Carolyn Brigit Flynn and the incredible creativity her teaching evokes. I was blown away by the magic and power that vibrated through every bit of that evening. I cried, I laughed, I was touched at my core. I'd been in a writing doldrums and I walked away full of words, inspired to write. I am thrilled that this amazing event is available on DVD. Now, you too, can be deeply moved by the artwork, the music, the poetry, the stories and the singing. This film will touch your soul." Laura Davis, author of I Thought We'd Never Speak Again and co-author of The Courage to Heal
"It was a truly magical evening. Music and poetry seemed to rain down from the heavens and fill the room. Alysia Tromblay’s music was exquisite. The art, the poetry, the singing... no one in the huge crowd wanted to leave! It is a real treasure that this beautiful evening has been preserved on film.”
