Being a wind instrument for Life is an absolute joy. Likewise, it's a privilege to masterfully teach people how to reclaim their birthrights to be free out loud by singing. As many frequencies combine to form what our ears hear as one tone, a chorus of information about my credentials, personal story, and sustainable living follow.

Rachel Bagby's spirited vocal talents--which earned her a place in Bobby McFerrin's improvisational ensemble, Voicestra--sustains a growing, world-wide audience. She has also released "Full," and co-produced "Becoming Consciously Vibralingual," an inquiry into the relationships between sound, vibration, and collective wisdom. "Full" features her soundtrack for the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Dialogues with Mad Women.

Muse, a 70-voice women's choir conducted by Cathy Roma, commissioned and premiered Rachel's "DaughterWise Suite:" a collection of new spirituals about the joys and challenges of eldercare. Rachel's publishing company, Breathing Music, distributes her compositions.

Rachel (JD Stanford) was simultaneously raised in the laps of violent poverty and extraordinary privilege. She is the fourth-generation of an artists/activists/healers lineage that reaches across the lines of race, class, spiritual, rural, urban and artistic traditions.

After studying the nexus of belief and value systems, societal behavior codes (laws), and social change at Stanford Law School, Rachel has spent years practicing and teaching the vibralingual laws of transformation. Rachel was identified as a thought leader and mentor by many participants in the Collective Wisdom Institute's groundbreaking research on the field of collective intelligence and spiritual wisdom in groups.

She is passionate about helping daughters of every age give voice to their Life-affirming visions. Author of Divine Daughters: Liberating the Power and Passion of Women's Voices, Rachel began honing the life-saving power of daughterly wisdom at the age of 11 when she inspired her father to replace the devastating ecstasy of drug and alcohol addiction with the disciplined joy of singing in a choir.

Rachel's teaching career began in second grade when she created study groups to help her classmates learn how to read. She designed and taught her first creativity programs for younger daughters at the age of 15. Her multifaceted career has since taken her to India, Japan, South Africa, and throughout North America to work with thousands of people devoted to bringing their voices to Life.

Earth, one of Rachel's eldest elders, inspired her to create Singing Farm, a solar-powered, 20-acre organic learning center in Central Virginia. As a daughter of music and growing things, Rachel inspires human beings--a singing species--to create restorative relationships between what we call nature and culture.
