| Susan Lincoln is a singer, teacher, healer,
and evocateur. For over 25 years, Susan, has been a workshop facilitator,
as well as a voice teacher to professionals and non-professionals
alike. A classically trained singer, her passion and studies have
led her into sound and vibrational healing. She is founder of Hilde
Girls, innovative spirituality circles for women. Her relationship
with Hildegard began in 1981 and exploded in 1999 when she sang Hildegard's
songs in the chapel of the Abbey of St. Hildegard in Eibingen, Germany.
"It was as if Hildegard herself came into my heart and voice.
I was trembling, my knees were buckling, and I had the experience
of being sung." Immediately following this profound experience,
she returned to the US and began sharing this with other women. She
leads retreats throughout the US and Europe, including Holland &
Germany in 2004, and a Black Madonna Quest in Southern France in 2005.

from character voices to Rock n’ Roll, and even a rap song as
the Big Bad Wolf. Craig is a featured artist on the Jungle Book 2
