This workshop is about discovering how sound healing boosts our creativity, and when combined, it awakens all of our senses so we may develop awareness in understanding the self and others. 

Colour and sound are both generated by wavelengths. To be more specific, we’re constantly surrounded by waves of various lengths. Light is composed of shorter wavelengths, and sound of larger, more resonant waves. These wavelengths are affecting us constantly, from the news we consume to the “silence” we think we’re enjoying when we settle into a warm bath at the end of the day. Even settling in for a casual, restorative sound bath is working on you in ways you wouldn’t even begin to imagine.

This workshop not only awakens senses and deeply relaxes the body and mind. It also guides every participant into how to use what they hear and feel, to interact with the “sound” of visual art in a more meaningful way. Do paintings and works of art have their own vibrational frequencies for us to listen to? What are some examples of art with “loud” frequencies and “soft” frequencies?

This workshop can help creative and non-creative people recognize what sort of sonic environment they feel most creative in and how listening can connect them deeply to the world and people around them from which they can draw awareness and inspiration.

It’s about removing preconceived notions that sound and listening should only be considerations for musicians and sound artists, listening can inspire people of all ages alike in their practice and daily lives.
