Discover the Flute as Sound Medicine
Did you know that the flute can be a tool for mindfulness, inner peace, and heart-guided ways of being?
Anthropological records note the flute as the oldest known musical instrument, dating back 43,000 years — the earliest version made of bird bone and found in a cave in Germany.
In these times of uncertainty and unrest, we too can turn to the flute as a tool to help us feel the Beloved, as our life-breath, move through us… and to help our grief, fears, and pain move through and out of us as well.
Author and music therapist Christine Stevens will help you discover the flute as one of the most accessible instruments to play — for sound healing, self-expression, mindfulness, prayer, breathwork, connection to nature and Spirit, and personal transformation.
You can register for The Flute as Sound Medicine to Open Your Heart & Expand Your World: A Tool for Transformation, Self-Expression & Prayer here.
During this highly experiential hour, you’ll:
- Discover the flute as a tool for moving stuck emotions and opening to your natural breath and the flow of the present moment
- Receive a flute meditation to connect you to your heart and a new story for your life and our world during these transformational times
- Participate in a flute and drum ceremony by placing your intentions into a prayer pillow for humanity
- Discover how the flute has a 5-note scale inspired by birdsong, can play no wrong notes, and connects us with lunar/feminine and solar/masculine energies
- Enjoy a musical tour of flutes from Bali, Ireland, and Iraq, and including a Native American double flute
- Be guided in a Musical Tree Experience for feeling into the power of the drum to ground us and the flute to uplift us
The holes in the flute, like our wounds, can become an entry to a “new song,” a new way of being… as we consider self-discoveries that have arisen during these difficult times.
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience the healing power of the flute and gain inspiration for your new song!
No musical experience — or flute — is necessary… just a willingness to open to spontaneous feelings of liberation, joy, and self-expression…
Live long, love life and be well!
