The Healing and Connecting Power of Music
An A.R.E. Headquarters Affiliate Event:
Morning
9 a.m.–12 p.m.: Tibetan Singing Bowls Immersive Experience with Kathryn Rambo
Sound healing is an effective and proven modality that uses vibrational sound to help reduce stress, alter consciousness, and create a deep sense of peace and well-being and, as a result, foster better health. Tibetan singing bowls have been used for centuries in meditation and spiritual practices. Now, new research shows that they also help accelerate the body’s innate healing process. The bowls, which are seated bells, generate a clear fundamental tone as well as multiple harmonic overtones that bring about left/right brain synchronization and the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Afternoon
1 p.m.–4 p.m.: Julie Thompson and Doug Esty Lead Everyone in a Sing-a-long
The afternoon will begin with breathing, meditation, and chanting. That is followed by practicing harmony, rounds, and discussing concepts like rhythm and terms for communicating together during song. The afternoon will end with a sing-along with Julie Thompson, Doug Esty, and friends.
