A Sound Healing Workshop
Saturday, December 4th, 2021
2:00 – 5:00 pm EST/ 20:00 – 23:00 CET
Our Sound Healing Workshop delves into Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan’s teachings on sound, music, and healing. We apply these teachings so participants have tools to use in life. The workshop is geared toward musicians as well as those who love music, healing, and the transformation of the soul.
Topics to be explored include:
-sound as a conduit of healing
-the healing power of sound and music
-tools and examples to produce sounds that heal
-ways to apply sound healing for yourself and your life
-using your own body and voice as an instrument of healing
As a follow-up to our Spring 2021 workshop, our fall theme is “How does one transform from being a performer to being a healer.” We intend to offer this workshop twice a year, during the spring and fall. Each time we will attune to music, hear perspectives, and join in suhbat (spiritual conversation).
Presenters this fall include: Devi Tide (Kefayat and North American VP of the Healing Activity), Tarana Jobin (North American VP of the Music Activity), Ophiel Van Leer (European VP of the Music Activity), Moksha Sommer, Jemal Hines & Fatima Hafiz Muid.
Please email music@inayatiyya.org with questions about the content of the program and astana@inayatiyya.org with questions about registration, payments, and technology.
Co-Hosted by the Inayatiyya Healing and Music Activities.
