Soundscape
Journeys, with Bluegate’s Guided Music Bluegate healing music ensemble performs soulful improvised music that is empowered by the healing intention of the musicians and audience. Guided musicians experience this as “getting out of the way” and letting God (or the Divine, or Spirit) bring in the music that is intended for healing and receiving information. You will experience how divinely inspired music, composed in the moment, can help you tune in to your inner wisdom, gain balance and healing, and find your true path and inspiration, in beautiful musical meditation journeys. Bluegate members chant, tone, and perform on a variety of exotic, indigenous, and classical music instruments, including Celtic harp, piano, flutes, viola, drums, hand percussion, Tibetan bowls, guitar, ud, and didgeridoo. |
Bluegate is a group of 4
musicians who
create inspired music intended to open the heart to inner
transformation. We
create an eclectic blend of composed and improvised music, drawing from
diverse
folk and classical traditions. A unique attribute of our group is our commitment to merge the performing and healing arts. We are not only composers and performers, but also researchers and practitioners exploring the healing power of sound and music. Overlighting our interest in health, wellbeing and great music is a love of fun and community. We strive to foster an environment of upliftment and positivity during our live performances and workshops. We believe that music is the secret language of Soul. www.bluegatemusic.com Christine Tulis: Celtic harp and voice Benyamin Sheppard: Flutes, oud, guitar, bouzouki, didgeridoo, voice Kem Stone: Percussion, marimba, keyboard, voice Michelle Herrera: Viola and voice |

Sound Healing:
Discovering Your Voice Breathe,
sing, resonate! Your voice is a powerful
expression of your Divine essence. In
this workshop, you will explore sacred vocal sounds and learn to use
your voice
for meditation, manifestation and healing. After
tuning into your body and exploring your breath, you
will practice
such techniques as chakra toning, humming and chanting.
You will cultivate your inner listening and
experience the power of combining your sound with an intention. You will also join with others to create a
harmonious blend of voices and to share in the feeling of Oneness that
we find
together in sound. This is an experiential
workshop that teaches simple yet profound vocal practices.
Participants with all levels of vocal
experience are welcome. |

Sounding with
Intention Intention is the creative force behind everything we do. By coupling sound with conscious intention, we amplify the power of our work manifold. Join Zacciah, learning simple techniques, focusing intention in conscious work, channelling sound and light energies, and amplifying them through sacred geometries, which assist in creating powerful fields of energy to further our work, in our personal and professional practice. If time, we will experience a sacred sound attunement with Zacciah. |

Emotional Release
through
Sound and Time Travel
Peggy, who is guided by the beloved Hathors and Kuan Yin, will share her personal experience as a Sacred Sound Salutarist. How her private sound session unfolds. How sound allows her clients to travel time. How she assists her client to use sound to release emotional traumas locked in the body memory by the 'keeper'. The stories are astonishing, heart wrenching and expansive. Through the demonstration of this process you will be able to use these techniques in your practice. |

Exploring the Song of the Soul Song of the soul and Lullabies are perhaps the pearls of my experience with Sound Healing...precious gifts I received very early in my journey with Sound Light and Love. They have remained strong and paramount through the years - oh yes, at least thirty, traveling this good road. We will experience these modalities internally, with another, with the group and with our own unique Song of the Soul, rising from the depths of our being. Many have connected to their soul path of sound healing through this experience in the safety and gentleness of Saruah’s ancient lineage. |

The
Cymatron Sound Healing Table: Cymatics and Sacred Geometry This lecture will introduce you to concepts of cymatics and the five platonic solids and sacred geometry. The combination of these are used for sound healings with the Cymatron Sound Table. The Cymatron Sound Table gives you a gentle cellular musical massage. The components of the table vibrate the main platform causing the specific frequencies of the sounds to bathe the body in vibration. The addition of the sacred geometric structure called the dodecahedron expands the consciousness so you will descend into a deep state of relaxation and stress reduction. The Cymatron facilitator assists the client to experience deep relaxation and inner peace.

Brief Drum Circle,
followed by Community Group
Healings Earth Healing Ceremonies Join us as we begin an evening exploration into the power of intention and sound. Beginning with group drumming, calling in the energies of our ancestors and allies, we will move toward individual healings within the group circle**, followed by sacred sound attunements and initiations, remembering deeper aspects of ourselves, standing in our power, balancing the sacred feminine and masculine within ourselves, and calling upon, and anchoring, energies of the upper realms, here, within the Earth, to assist in our evolution, and transformation, personally, and collectively. **We will use some time to have group members supported by the rest of the group circle, experience the healing power of voice, bowls, and other instruments, in intuitive sound healings. |

In this workshop we will explore the use of the embodied voice in the treatment of body/mind illness, with a focus on trauma. Work will include a discussion of the psychobiology of trauma, limbic resonance and the three brain model, and will include large and small group practice sessions in the use of PLS /prelanguage sounding as a resonant intervention. A video will also be shown of a case example using PLS in therapeutic practice. |
