This training in sound, sound therapies, and mindful listening will be offered at Wainwright House in the Spring of 2020. We will delve into sound practices, mindfulness meditation, connection, and what it means to heal ourselves and others through creative ways of deep listening, hands on practicum training and stimulating discussions around sound and sound practices. How we engage in sound through our voices, playing instruments, and the simple act of mindful presence will be explored in hands-on learning, improvisation, and mindfulness practices. Participants will be introduced to specific drone instruments including gongs, crystal singing bowls, monochords, voice, drums, and more. Everyone participating is encouraged to bring a personal instrument of their choosing to look at how we engage in “musicking” with each other and the natural world. Each day will include sound walks, improvisation, and practicum training to learn out we can use specific instruments and voice in the context of healing arts. Students encouraged to participate include those wanting to learn how sound can be incorporated into their clinical work, teaching, or personal lives.
