Sound healing is a growing therapeutic field proven to enhance wellness and creativity at many levels of our being.  Cultures structure, from our energetic (subtle) bodies, to our physiological and sub-atomic form.  Drawing from contemporary and throughout history have known and utilized sound, for healing, to journey into other worlds, to awaken ecstatic states of awareness and innate well being, and to illuminate one’s ancient knowing.  Modern science and therapeutic applications are adding to our understanding of the nature of sound.  Sound is the vibrational nature of Creation, as well as our human ancient cultures’ wisdom and methodolgies, we will utilize techniques with voice and simple instruments to enhance awareness and integration of sound in personal and professional practice.   Sound, Healing, and Consciousness, 2We shall explore the nature of authentic healing, and utilize esoteric sound practices to realize heightened states of wellness and self realization.  No musical talent or prior experience is necessary.

Our Program Facilitator
Zacciah  Blackburn, PhD, is a gifted intuitive, teacher, and sound healer trained in classical healing and shamanic traditions, and sacred sound cultures, and is practicing in Ascutney, VT, at the Center of Light, which he founded.   Zacciah utilizes sound coupled with Sacred Intention, as  a therapeutic tool, for personal growth and transformation.  Zacciah is a Co-Director, and Director of Education for the International Sound Healing Network (SHN), formerly known as the New England Sound Healing Research Institute (NESHRI,) a worldwide community of healing practitioners broadening the awareness of sound healing through networking, education, and scientific research.  He is also co-founder & Director of the World Sound Healing Organization, and the All One Now Network of organizations furthering world peace, healing, and transformation of human consciousness through simple ceremony, broadcast live via the internet.  And, Zacciah is one of the Founding Board Members, and still actively involved on the Board of Directors, in the formation and evolution of the new Sound and Music Alliance, a professional association of practitioners, educators, researchers, product makers, schools and organizations, dedicated to the use of the transformative power of sound and music throughout the full spectrum of life cycles.

Zacciah has created a broad range of trainings in sound healing practice, which couples his deep cognitive and intuitive understanding of s
ound in therapeutic application.   These programs are an in depth study of the nature of sound and its healing effect on the human system, with cognitive and experiential training designed to better our understanding of, and therapeutic application in, the use of sound.

EARTH MYSTERIES:  SHAMANIC UNDERSTANDINGS:
While all of our programs incorporate ancient, indigenous/shamanic, and esoteric 'wisdom school' understandings of the nature of sound, human consciousness, and our inter-relationship with the living energies of the Cosmos, those wishing to further an Earth based understanding of sound in ceremony
, working with E
arth based energies utilizing more shamanic methodology, may follow up with our Earth Mysteries programs in the US, Europe, Peru, Egypt, and elsewhere, each year.  We work in ancient ceremonial sites, and pristine and powerful natural energy sites, learning how to access and interact with the Living Energies and Spirit of the Place where we visit.   We recommend all of our sound healers' training programs for those wishing to understand how to access the subtle realms of consciousness, to attune, create relation with, and express deeper awareness in sacred sound, with voice, or instruments.  We also offer advanced Shamanic training for those participating in beginning programs.
