MUSIC IS MEDICINE: Sacred Singing, Healing Harmonies.

Modern neuroscience is affirming what vocalists and shamans have known
for years: Singing is healthy for you; and specific vocal styles that
play on 'harmonic overtones' stimulate the sense of well-being.

Harmonic overtones are embedded within sacred choral music performed
worldwide.

In this introductory workshop, you will hear and learn how Tibetan
monks, Gregorian chanters and Mongolian overtone singers create the
powerful healing and meditative qualities associated with ritual
chanting and overtone harmonics.

A complementary instructional DVD is bundled with the workshop.

Don Hill is a former host of Tapestry on CBC Radio One. His one-hour
television documentary, Chants Encounter profiled harmonic overtone
singers from around the world.

The two-day course has been taught to clinical therapists, hospital
and palliative care workers, musicians and contemplatives of every sort.

"Excellent instructor, a fountain of knowledge," wrote one evaluator.
"Don Hill is top notch!" Course participants have also written, "he
delivers the content clearly and in a stimulating fashion.” Overall
the course is “very inspiring."
