I’m Ashley.
Imagine school choirs, community choirs and volunteers learning uplifting music to share messages of self-love and harmony not only reach the singers themselves—but then carrying that music into our senior communities.
Imagine young people contributing their talents and being recognized for their service. Senior communities having familiar faces and joyful experiences to anticipate. Local choirs finding another way to serve. Businesses helping one community reach another. And once a year, those individual connections coming together in one large, thunderous community experience.
That is Chorus for Us : creating social harmony—literally. And Chorus for Us reflects, on a much larger community scale, the service at the heart of Asha Faber .
Asha Faber inspires people to embrace experience creative expression through uplifting music, art, movement, self-love, humor and encouragement—while reminding us that there is awe in everyone .
On October 3 , Asha Faber will hold her first public Self-Love Serenades at the library—a free community singalong using familiar, uplifting music. Asha Faber purposefully sings along with the original artists because she prefers harmony over her own voice alone. Everyone else is invited to sing the songs as they know them and experiment with harmony. We cannot create harmony without difference.
Asha Faber greets people simply: “Hello, Masterpieces.” And now the vision is moving into the real world. NUE MIND arT gives us education and guidance to Master Your Masterpiece through holistic-health practices , shining light on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energy bodies while exploring the art of neuroplasticity —how our experiences, learning, attention and practices can help shape the way we think and believe.
And understanding ourselves is only useful if we can carry that understanding into our lives. That is where Eclosion comes in. Eclosion gives us practical and creative tools—through journals, art, wearable reminders, reflection tools, educational resources and products—to redirect our energy toward lessons learned and a positive outlook for the future .
Where this came from
I didn't set out to build this. The vision came to me while I was rebuilding my own life. In the span of about a month, my day-to-day role as a mother changed, I experienced a painful professional disappointment after years invested in my career, my mother-in-law urgently needed open-heart surgery, I lost trust in my marriage, and my sister and niece departed from this life.
The grief was devastating and debilitating. Later, my own physical and mental health changed, and for medical reasons I lost the career that had been a significant part of my adult life.
Traditional medical care and prescription medication have been part of my journey. Alongside my doctors, I began exploring complementary holistic approaches and learning about whole-person wellness. I wasn't trying to start a business. I was trying to learn how to live better and rebuild from the inside out. What I learned began connecting with what had always made me feel alive: music, art, movement, learning, humor, creativity and bringing people together. And somewhere in that rebuilding, I was given this vision.
From a living nightmare to a living dream
There is no shortage of loneliness, grief, stress, health challenges, disconnection, uncertainty and division in the world. Sometimes parts of life can feel like a living nightmare. I cannot change every living nightmare. But I can intentionally put more of the opposite into the world:
self-love, understanding, uplifting music, creativity, movement, connection, laughter, encouragement and hope.
Music cannot solve every problem or replace appropriate mental-health or medical care. Holistic wellness does not replace medical treatment. But we can become more intentional about the environments we create within ourselves and around one another. And I have already seen pieces of this vision work. I have seen music change a room. I have seen people light up when they're invited to participate instead of simply observe. I have seen what happens when different voices stop worrying about sounding alike and begin enjoying what they can create together. I have seen how learning to understand ourselves differently can change what we choose next.
I was given this vision.
I have already seen it happen.
Will you be a part of it?
Help me give it roots
I am not asking you to fund something I might begin someday. I have begun.
I am continuing my holistic-health education, establishing the professional and operational foundation, developing the programs and partnerships, creating materials and building community relationships. And Asha Faber's first public Self-Love Serenades is already on the calendar.
A financial contribution helps give this vision roots—but an introduction can be a contribution too. Connect us with a school, choir, senior community, sponsor, advisor, nonprofit professional, journalist, volunteer or community partner.
A share can be a contribution. Help this story reach someone I cannot reach myself.
And almost anyone can give us one more thing: Give us a song. 🎶 Contribute an uplifting song to our community playlist. The song that lifts your spirit. Reminds you who you are. Makes you move. Helped you through something. Gives you hope. Or simply makes the world feel a little brighter. Help us build the soundtrack for what comes next.
What your financial support builds
I want to build responsibly. The first funds will establish the professional and operational foundation: business and legal formation, professional guidance, planning for the future charitable structure of Chorus for Us, and systems capable of organizing projects, partners, sponsors, schools, choirs, senior communities, supporters and funding. From there, support can help build the NUE MIND arT website and digital infrastructure, professional materials, Eclosion tools and products, Asha Faber experiences and content, and the first Chorus for Us community programming. It also provides breathing room for the person doing the building while I continue my education and create infrastructure capable of eventually sustaining this work.
You aren't being asked to believe in a dream I might build someday.
I'm inviting you to become part of one that has already begun.
Master Your Masterpiece.
This is currently a personal fundraiser supporting me during the establishment and development stage of this work. Until an appropriate charitable structure is established, contributions should not be assumed to be tax-deductible.
How the First Funds Will Be Used
My goal is not simply to launch quickly. I am raising $25,000 to give this first phase the resources it needs to become something sustainable rather than simply something started. There Are Many Ways to Help I am asking people who believe in this vision to help me give it roots. At this early stage, I am looking for support from people who simply believe in what this can become and the good it can create for others. A donation of any size helps, but an introduction can be a contribution too. Sharing this campaign or connecting me with a school, senior community, choir, sponsor, business advisor, nonprofit professional, wellness professional, journalist, or other potential partner can be incredibly valuable. What began as part of rebuilding my own life has grown into something I hope can help other people better understand and care for themselves while creating more opportunities for self-love, creativity, music, service, belonging, and human connection. If this vision speaks to you, I would be deeply grateful to have you be part of its beginning.
FUNDRAISING GOAL BREAKDOWN: $25,000 — $3,500 for a Zoho business management and CRM system to organize projects, partners, schools, choirs, senior communities, sponsors, funding opportunities, and follow-ups; $3,000 for website and digital infrastructure to create the online home for NUE MIND arT and its ecosystem; $2,500 for business, legal, nonprofit, and brand structure, including formation, contracts, trademark work, and planning toward establishing Chorus for Us as a separate charitable nonprofit; $2,000 for an experienced business advisor to guide strategy, financial planning, priorities, partnerships, revenue, and sustainable growth; $2,000 for branding, design, and professional materials; $2,500 for initial Eclosion product development, including journals, art, wearable reminders, and reflection tools; $2,500 for Chorus for Us relationship-building and early community programming with schools, choirs, senior communities, volunteers, businesses, and sponsors; $2,000 for Asha Faber content, equipment, production, and community experiences; $1,500 for marketing, outreach, and public awareness; and $1,500 for software, insurance, administration, and unexpected launch expenses. Total: $25,000. The first funds raised will prioritize the foundation—business and legal structure, professional guidance, Zoho, and digital infrastructure—before expanding into products, programming, content, community relationships, and outreach.
Donate if you can. Share this campaign. Make a connection. Contribute a song. Partner with us. And someday soon—sing with us.
Let’s give this living dream roots.
NUE MIND arT — LEARN NMA is home base for education and guidance to master your masterpiece through holistic health practices, shining light on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energy bodies—and the ways each influences the whole.

Chorus for Us — CONNECT Chorus for US is the community expression of the vision—building relationships among schools, choirs, senior communities, volunteers, businesses, and community organizations and creating opportunities for people to sing, serve, participate, and belong. Chorus for Us is especially important to me because I want this work to extend beyond a business and into genuine community service. Part of this startup phase will include professional guidance toward establishing Chorus for Us will apply as a separate charitable nonprofit organization and pursue 501(c)(3) public-charity status with hope to be confirmed to be the appropriate structure.
THANK YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART FOR CONTRIBUTING!!!!!!!!!! :)
