Sound Healing Workshop
Saturday, March 20, 2010, from 9am-6pm, $89/person for the day OR $229 for the weekend (2 nights, 5 meals, workshop)
Sound healers Christine M. Grimm of Santa Barbara (www.TuneYourVoice.com) and Steffan
Heydon of San Luis Obispo are offering their first joint Sound Healing Workshop
on Saturday, March 20, 2010, from 9am – 6pm at Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria. The
cost of the one-day workshop is $89, which includes a delicious lunch in the
beautiful oceanfront setting. Camp accommodations and meals for the weekend are
also available for those who would like to extend the workshop into a retreat.
Workshop participation is limited to 30 people, so early registration at www.CampOceanPines.org is recommended.
The Sound Healing Workshop will especially appeal to singers,
musicians, and people in the healing arts who would like to incorporate the
healing power of sound into their practice. But previous experience in music or
sound healing isn’t necessary – even people who consider themselves “tone-deaf”
can enjoy the tools and techniques of this fun workshop as it enhances their
sense of well-being. Christine M. Grimm will present the theoretical background
of sound healing, supported by Steffan Heydon in the hands-on exploration of
its tools and techniques. Some of the included topics are breath; release of
energy blocks through the voice, body, and percussion instruments; toning and overtoning;
Tibetan and crystal bowls; tuning forks; and holistic voice. The event will
conclude with an interactive sound healing concert that integrates the
knowledge and experiences of the workshop.
Christine M. Grimm, MFA/UCLA, has merged the concept of the chakras with modern approaches to sound healing that are based on voice analysis. After studying with a variety of international sound healing teachers, she offers workshops, private sessions, and concerts that combine songwriting with sound healing. Her “Sound Trek” feature is available in the September issue of Vision Magazine (www.VisionMagazine.com, page 26). See www.TuneYourVoice.com for more information and the Tune Your Voice – Tune Your Life CD.
Steffan Heydon performs sound healing concerts with Tibetan and crystal bowls, didgeridoos, and Native American flutes and teaches people to play these instruments. Together with sound healing teacher Christa Ray, he recorded the Infinity meditation CD as Theta music. He builds didgeridoos and flutes, as well as selling crystal bowls through his own company at www.TwoTowers.com.
