The enormous popularity of working with Sound has taken the term ‘sound healing’ mainstream, and a day does not go by where people are not talking about sound immersions, gong baths, kirtans, and a host of sound healing events promoted on social media. With this popularity comes interest, and with interest comes the responsibility of gaining accurate and useful information in becoming proficient in the use of sound tools, developing an effective skilll-set, and knowing how to assess and demonstrate proficiency. Presented by Mitch Nur, PhD, North America’s longest tenured Sound Therapist and teacher,
This program will teach tenets of working with Sound in a therapeutic approach through the use of the Bonpo Shang (last offered 4 years ago), Shamanic Drumming, Rattles, Peruvian Shamanic Whistling Vessels, Aztec shaman whistles and Death Whistle, Otag Water Vessel, and more. This instrument based approach, goes far beyond just an introduction, but offers insights from the traditional uses culled from long years of Field Research and experience with working within the cultures the sound tools originate from. This hands on approach is necessary in developing confidence, and learning how the cultures worked with these sound tools in a traditional manner, rounds out an effective learning process that will propel you in grasping the subject material. High academic standards are critical, and being mentored by experienced sound workers is the best way to start training in a serious manner.
In many cases no sound therapy program being offered today, showcases these unique sound tools. Used for centuries by indigenous cultures, their re-awakening in modern times signals their usefulness for stress reduction, relaxation, sleep disorders, and their effectiveness in an integrated approach to well being has been accepted by mainstream healthcare; clinical studies worldwide support this.
This program will have 3 instructors: Mitch Nur, PhD, Madrina Lopez, and Susan Raike. Don't wait another moment to start your training in becoming an effective sound worker.
9ways is currently focused on training the Sound Worker of tomorrow. If you desire to rise above the mundane, and wish to tread in the footsteps of those that go about seeking the aim or purpose of Wisdom, give serious attention to our programs.
The program begins at 7pm on Friday evening, and concludes on Sunday afternoon.
