I might be able to do Wed. 2/18, but I’m waiting to hear whether a rehearsal on my schedule will be cancelled.

Hi all! I have given 4 sessions since finishing the Sonic Being training. Prior to that I have given experimental sound sessions here and there for the last few years, mostly with crystal bowls. I am a Certified Music Practitioner, so I use music (using flutes, my voice, and a ukulele) to create a relaxing environment on a regular basis in a hospital, but that is quite different from providing therapeutic sound. I do enjoy combining the sound and music (in the prescribed Sonic Being order), and I have especially enjoyed hearing from clients of how the sound moved their energy. The patients for whom I play in the hospital are an entirely different “clientelle” in that they are not seeking “spiritual” or “energetic” changes (even though that is sometimes what they experience). When people show up for Sound Baths, they are seeking energetic movement. This is an experience that is quite different and sometimes more powerful because the intention comes from the participant and not just me. I’m so excited to hear from others and what they have learned so far on this journey!

Hello! I live in St. Johns, MI, just north of the Capitol, Lansing. There is a growing interest in alternative healing modalities in the Greater Lansing area. I am a professional flutist by training and have performed with orchestras and taught at small private colleges for many years. About a decade ago, I became a Certified Music Practitioner and currently provide therapeutic bedside music at a hospital in Lansing 3 days/week. Therapeutic Sound feels like another extension of what I have been doing, and I have loved going through this course and thinking about the healing properties of various sounds. I’m so excited to watch you all on your journeys and learning how you are sending healing sound energy into your communities.
