Play-ful Evening

A ‘Play-ful’ Evening
For Families, Couples and Friends
Creatively Expressing our Inner Images with
Healing Sounds

Come and Play!

Sounds evoke images
Images also can be transposed into sounds

Sounds and Images connect us with our inner beauty and joy!

My studio is filled with the most unique, enriching ‘musical toys’ you probably have ever experienced! Some will perhaps be a fascinating new experience for you: hand made creative and ethnic percussion instruments, a 50-string Monochord, Japanese Koto, Native American flute, Tibetan and Crystal bowls. Oh – have you every played INSIDE a piano or played the keys with mallets? I have chimes and tingshas, beautiful xylophones, and many other instruments that are unusual, fun and simple to play. These instruments are Healing Sounds that balance AND nourish our whole being with their rich overtones. The resulting improvised sound collage is fun, joyful, astoundingly deep and unifying.

I have incorporated creative music in my holistic sound work with children and adults of all ages for over 30 years. My life-long mission as a musician and creative music teacher enables me to skillfully and playfully help families weave sound and imagery into a core group experience, expressing that which positively connects each of you as individuals, children and adults, on your path together as a family, children and adults.

Are you curious?

Playful Approach

A Play-ful Approach to Learning about Sacred Sound

Do you feel an inner yearning to know more about who you are, and why you are here … about your purpose in this lifetime?

And do you love music and sound, but never felt quite natural with your own musical 'talent' ?

Or are you involved in the Healing Arts and would like to explore learning about Healing Sounds in a playful, soul-connected manner?

In Play-ful Approach we learn in a relaxed, intuitive and joyful manner to play special instruments such as the Koto, Monochord, Crystal & Singing Bowls, Chimes, Ocean Drum and small Ethnic Percussion Instruments. These instruments, which have a deep beauty to them because of their rich overtones, require very little technical ability. In learning how to center ourselves and connect with our higher guidance, we practice hearing sounds as pictures (form and color), and pictures as sounds. Inner visions are transposed into sound.

The tone of the instruments and our own voice help us to harmonize our 4 bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) and open us to the music of our soul and the songs of the angels. Not only do you experience the healing qualities of sacred sound, but your hearing - and whole Being - becomes more sensitive to the qualities of the harmonics.

This workshop is for people who are drawn to music and sound, and who are ready to activate their inner wisdom.

This method awakens souls who are here to use Healing Sounds in their 'Work'.

Sacred Sounds and Peace Circles

Sacred Sounds
and Peace Circles

When you think about using the power of your mind in daily life, remember that peace is the most important goal, because thoughts of peace open the heart to love, and close the mind to fear. If you seek peace and love first, if you learn to become mindfully present, you’ll find that good things seem to be attracted to you without your even having to specify them.
Joan Borysenko

Presently we are all challenged more than ever before in our personal and global evolution. The vibration of the Earth is rising, time seems to be speeding up and fear is prevalent. Healing Sounds slow down your brainwaves and slip you into the Alpha state. The beauty of the sounds and their frequencies help connect you with your heart, enabling you to listen to the inner voice of your soul and connect to a deep state of Peace inside that is accessible to each of us.

The simple, powerful meditative peace circle process provides a guideline for exploring your own personal relationship to inner and outer peace by asking yourself three simple, and yet profound questions:

I feel peaceful when:
Peace for me would be: (personally, in my community, globally)
In the name of peace I will:

We support one another as we commit to doing a weekly act of "courageous peacemaking".

Being Centered in our Expression

vision, activism, relationships and
global responsibility

As powerful women living in today’s fast evolving times, we experience the difficulty of maintaining balance in our lives and finding the space needed for inner connection to our divine core.

We need the possibility to voice in an inherently non-judgmental, non-competitive, spiritually grounded awareness the personal challenges and issues that confront us as we are all developing and manifesting our unique visions.

An extraordinarily simple circle process of awareness, vision and intention, combined with Sacred Sounds, sets up an energetic Holy Grail, where we are compassionately received, heard and supported.

In this presence of circle and sound, we expand the potential and scope of our inwardly and outwardly expressed power by reconnecting to the underlying source of all power.

Presently we are all challenged more than ever before in our personal and global evolution. The vibration of the Earth is rising, time seems to be speeding up and deep, transformational changes are in process. The ‘2’ in front of ‘2000’ is about the Anima, the feminine energy that both men and women carry. This is bringing even more uncertainty to men!

The simple, powerful meditative peace circle process provides a guideline for exploring questions around your own personal relationship to inner and outer peace and evolvement by asking yourself three simple, yet profound, questions:

           1. I feel peaceful when: (awareness)
   2. In the presence of challenges: Peace for me would be: (vision)
           3. In the name of peace I will: (action)

Sacred Sounds anchor Sacred Space. The Healing Sounds slow down your brainwaves and slip you into the Alpha state. The beauty of the sounds and their frequencies connect you through your heart to that deep state of Peace inside that is accessible to each of us, enabling you to listen to the inner voice and guidance of your soul.

We support one another as we commit to an intention for the coming week. The following week begins with a ‘debrief’ around this intention.

A circle of 6 - 8 men (and me!) meets for 2 hours for a 6-week period.
A 6-week series costs $48.

Body Tuners C + G

SOUND HEALING WITH
PYTHAGOREAN TUNING FORKS C + G
INTERVAL OF UNIVERSAL HARMONY

For those interested in SOUND THERAPY
this is a the perfect introductory course!

* Synchronize right and left-brain hemispheres in one minute!
Sense immediate calm and balance of the physical body.

* Learn to locate "stuck" energy in the subtle field.

* Clear static in the aura (the electromagnetic field) of the subtle bodies.

* Hear of the amazement of Marianne's students (and their parents)
due to improved concentration.

* Feel energy flow freely for a heightened sense of well being

* Discuss: Frequency + Intention = Healing

This is an experiential, hands on workshop to provide healers, parents, teachers and caregivers with a quick, safe manner to help center, ground and balance their clients, students and members of their families.

Using special Pythagorean tuning forks, you will learn to synchronize the right and left hemispheres of the brain in only one minute! This produces an immediate sense of calm and balance in the physical body. Furthermore, you will learn to hear where energy is ‘stuck’ in the subtle energy field. The tuning forks are extremely effective in clearing the static energy in the electromagnetic field (aura) of the subtle bodies and helping this energy to flow freely again. We will practice restoring a balanced an clear state of flow for the hightened well being.

We will experiment with the principals of resonance and entrainment, and discuss situations where this method has been highly successful. We will also practice on each other, learning both a shorter and longer version, so that after this 3 hour time together, you will feel confident about using the forks on your clients, family and students.

We will also reflect on the formula: Frequency + Intention = Healing, which has been given to us be the renowned Sound Healers Andi and Jonathan Goldman.

I have been using the tuning forks for over 10 years in many different situations.
For example, all my piano and cello students (40 a week!) received a 2-minute tuning fork treatment at the beginning of the lessons. The parents were so amazed by the joy the students felt from the sound and feeling of the forks – and even more, were astounded by the level of concentration that resulted. It was these parents who first asked me to conduct workshops to teach them how to use the forks!

Peace Circles for Kids

Peace and Sound
Workshop for Kids

Opening
A few movement and brain-gym exercises to get the cells curious and the brain hemispheres communicating.

Entering
Healing Sounds and a 'Daydream' help the children (ages 5 - 18) come into contact with that peaceful place in themselves, which they can always access to realign and center themselves - even in the midst of strife. Time is given to draw something they have 'seen' in their dream which made them feel good.

The Peace Circle
In small groups of about 10 children, each participant is asked three simple questions:

Ask yourself what makes you feel peaceful, drawing on the experience of the 'Daydream' (awareness).
What seems unpeaceful to you in your world? If you could change it, what would it be like? (vision)
Make a commitment to one peaceful action or attitude this week. The group supports the child in his/her intention (action)

Celebration
Sing our peace song and find movements to it as a circle dance.

Closing
A ritual, in which all the groups come together and share their experiences.

Effects
Children realize what peace really means in their own lives and how they can make a difference in their families, communities and the world!

This is a 2 hour workshop

Centering Exercises
for the Classroom and Home

A ritual to begin the day? A short, brief exercise to introduce a new project? Change the pace? Go more into depth through the senses?

32 years of parenting and 25 years of working with children in public schools and music schools in Switzerland have provided me with the experience that children (just like adults) yearn to playfully come into a space inside themselves where they feel AT HOME. They love to access and share their day-dream world, that part of all of us that is creative and joyful.

In the book Joy in the Classroom (great summer reading, by the way) Stephanie Herzog, author, describes her experiences with her own 3rd graders at a city school in Los Angeles. She had the feeling that she was pretty much just keeping the lid from exploding most of the time - that is before she started Centering Exercises with the class. The results were remarkable.

We can call these centering exercises meditation, visualization, dream-time, imagery - whatever works for your own personal vocabulary. With Healing Sounds in the background, children relax their bodies, slow down their brain waves and are guided through a visualization that can be either short or more extensive.

In this 3 hour workshop, we will also share experiences we have had with our children creating images and stories out of special moments and we will practice how to create a visualization without much preparation, being able to apply it to whatever subject matter and situation that is present.

This is a morning I am particularly excited about! Two organizations, which are very dear to my heart, Dances of Universal Peace and Circles of Ten: Women for World Peace, will be weaving their individual forms of peace dances and peace circles together, providing us with another profound experiential morning.

The Circles of Ten peace circle process provides a guideline for exploring your own personal relationship to inner and outer peace by asking yourself three simple, and yet profound questions:

       1. I feel peaceful when:
       2. Peace for me would be: (personally, in my
           community or globally)
       3. In the name of peace I will:

The Dances of Universal Peace grew out of the Sufi Dance Tradition and now included songs and dances from all spiritual directions. Movements are simple. They are mudras. The songs and movements are repeated in circle dances, providing the dancer with a body and soul experience of the deeper meaning of the words. The journey into our own heart through song and dance will help us energetically prepare to tap into our inner wisdom as we experience the peace circle process.

Our intention for this morning is to provide the participants with a richer experience and anchoring of PEACE in their personal lives, in their community and in the world!
