Through an original and highly experiential and a class explores the use of music to clear and open energetic channels and as a gateway for therapeutic processes and community peacemaking. Implementing guided sound-centered contemplative practices, drumming, and chanting, students gather an inspiring repertoire of medicine melodies to use in shamanic, psychotherapy, and healing sessions. Students experience the emotional magic that comes from singing the icaros of the Peruvian Amazon, and indigenous traditions from India, Tibet, Tuva, and beyond. The specific use of music to support spiritual healing in John of God’s work and the Afro-Brazilian communities in Brazil will be examined through a multimedia presentation.
