Resonance - Sound Healing Festival 5-7 th June 2009
7 months ago

Resonance - Festival of Sound Healing
05 Jun 2009    

From subatomic particles to the whirling galaxies, we live in a world of vibration and resonance. All is frequency and whenever we see disturbances in our lives - physical, mental or spiritual - it is a distortion of those
vibrations: being out-of-tune. This is the basis of all the approaches in today's field of sound healing; to tune and restore those frequencies through resonance and promote sound health and wholeness.

This festival brings together leading lights in the field who offer a wide variety of techniques including vocal self-healing, cymatics and bioacoustics. It will be a highly experiential weekend where the presenters will engage the participants both collectively and on a one-to-one basis. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with eight practitioners
in medium-sized groups, have a joyful session of singing/chanting and on Saturday evening listen to an evening of intimate improvised music by Stefan Cartwright's ensemble Bardo Muse.

The presenters are:

Jill Purce, keynote speaker
Leslie Bunt, Guided Imagery and Music
Lyz Cooper, (The British Academy of Sound Therapy) Experience Sacred Sound
James D'Angelo, The Healing Power of Vocal Sound
Michael Deason-Barrow, Sing with the Whole Human Being: Introduction to Singing Therapy
Christopher Gibbs, Cymatics: The Science of Sound and Vibrational Healing
Susan Elizabeth Hale, The Imaginal Landscape of the Voice (USA)
Tobias Kaye, Handmade Wooden Sounding Bowls for Music and Therapy
Frank Perry, Healing with Tibetan bowls
Philip Sterling, Voice Analysis, Astrology & Sound Therapy
Ella Williams, Tomatis method: Your Voice is your Best Friend.

Deva Premal & Miten in Concert, UK!
7 months ago

 

The wonderful Deva Premal & Miten will be in concert at Wells Cathedral, Somerset, UK (near Glastonbury) on Wednesday 27th May 2009. Please click on the link below for more information and to book tickets. I am very excited and am hoping to go along myself

After touring non-stop for sixteen years, and with CD sales of well over a million, Deva & Miten are living proof that the power of mantra is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. So be a part of this magnificent evening and experience the beauty, grace, power and bliss of this sacred practice.


Deva Premal and Miten met in India in 1990 and soon began a journey into love and creativity that has taken their inspiring blend of song, mantra and meditation to a worldwide audience.


They have released a string of acclaimed CDs and their concerts and ecstatic chant workshops are met with rave reviews throughout Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States.


Their music transcends all the usual musical boundaries, with fans including rock icon Cher, who featured one of Deva’s most popular chants, the Gayatri Mantra, on her Farewell Concert Tour; world renowned author and motivational coach Tony Robbins, and even His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Deva and Miten became planetary gypsies, bringing the ancient healing power of mantra into the 21st century. Their concerts are more than music – they are invitations to share in a deep moment of meditation.


As Deva says, “Without the silence that follows the chants, you get only half the story. It's like the climax of a good story. The silence is there because it exists in the music. It just needs to be exposed and acknowledged. It's so easy to overlook the silence inside the music... and it's that which is healing us... if we allow it to be there. This is really one of the main reasons Miten and I sing - to bathe in silence. It's our nourishment. It's what keeps us on the road. For me there is nothing more precious than having sung with an audience, ecstatic with bliss, and then entering the deep silence that the mantra brings... so deep, that with closed eyes you really feel there is 'nobody' there at all... all personalities dissolved for a tiny sacred moment.”

"Beautiful music, beautiful..." - H.H. The Dalai Lama

"As you listen, the sacred space that lies beyond the mind emerges naturally and effortlessly." - Eckhart Tolle, spiritual teacher and best-selling author

"They carry the listener into realms of ecstasy, bliss, joy, laughter - breaking our hearts wide open, carrying us back into the stillness within. It is a rare blessing to experience the beauty of their song..." - Brandon Bays, life coach and author of 'The Journey'

World Sound Healing Day

Dear Sound Friends:

This February 14th we will be celebrating the 7th World Sound Healing Day!  This is a day when people throughout the planet sound together for planetary peace and healing at 12 noon Eastern time, as well as throughout the day.

More details about World Sound Healing Day and planetary healing sounds are available at this link: http://www.healingsounds.com/sounds/worlddayinfo.asp

I’d like to take this opportunity to offer some new suggestions on how you can participate in the 2009 World Sound Healing Day

We’ve always received such extraordinary feedback from you with regard to your participation in this event.  Now here’s an opportunity to post your feedback on this blog.

So many of you have joined us in this event throughout the years, and many of you  have initiated your own events in conjunction with World Sound Healing Day.  What a blessing!  It is my greatest hope that even more of you will facilitate and organize your own events this year.

While it’s always been my belief that even a small number of individuals who project intentionalized sound to the planet for Global Harmonization is powerful, it is my understanding that “the more the merrier”. That is why, this year, I’m calling for as much collaborating and co-creation with regard to World Sound Healing Day as possible and putting out the call to organize events in your area.

As you may know, last year, we manifested  www.templeofsacredsound.org as a gathering place in cyberspace for those throughout the planet to use as a vehicle to assist in sending Healing Sounds to the planet. Our blog Temple of Sacred Sound continues to be an extraordinary website for this purpose, and on Feb. 14h, it will be a great venue for those joining us to tone together in cyberspace.

This year, through our blog, I’d like to ask that you present not only your comments regarding the energy of using sound to harmonize the planet,  but also to discuss possible ways that February 14th can become a potent day for sounding forth for Global Harmonization. And how you may create and facilitate sounding for global peace.

If you’ll be joining us in cyberspace on Feb. 14th, let us know. If you’ll be sending out announcements about this event to others, let us know. If you’ll be creating a physical plane event on this day, let us know. Let’s really have the Global Community of Sound Healers make their voices heard.  The more people who read about the thoughts, ideas and events that will occur in conjunction with World Sound Healing Day, the more powerful and profound the thought form that we manifest will be.

World Sound Healing Day is YOUR event—it is for each and every one of you who understands and utilize the power of sound to heal and transform. This is a golden opportunity to bring sound healing to Mother Earth.

In addition, my wife Andi Goldman and I will be hosting  a radio show on Saturday, Feb. 14th on www.healthylife.net that will lead into our noon time (Eastern Time) World Sound Healing experience.

On a local level, we’ll also be facilitating a free one hour toning experience here in Boulder, Colorado  later that after noon.  Along with our toning the “AH” sound for planetary healing, we will also have a large quartz crystal bowl filled with water in the center of our toning circle. After our hour of toning, everyone gets to drink of that water which is truly luminescent in its taste and effect. The remainder of the water will be poured into Boulder Creek, taking the energy of this World Sound Healing Day event into the ocean.

This is just one example of what can be done on this powerful and important day of planetary healing.  I encourage you to be creative and to let us know any other thoughts, ideas and activities you may be planning for this World Sound Healing Day.  It will be great to hear from you.

Let’s really get together and act as one coherent, celestial tone to initiate the energies of Light & Love through Sound for the planet.

Jonathan Goldman
