Cancer Full Moon Portal Event
SHAKING MEDICINE & SOUND JOURNEY
with DARREN AUSTEN HALL & FRANCESCA of SACRED EARTH SOUNDS
Friday, January 6th, 7pm to 10pm
I’m so delighted to be a part of this event. What a beautiful way to usher in 2023 with intention, an evening of conscious self-love and self-care incorporating shaking medicine and a collaborative sound journey.
To begin, Darren will lead us in shaking medicine, a practice he brings all over the world.
About Shaking Medicine: SHAKING MEDICINE is raw ecstatic dance. It is shaking the body for an hour-plus, getting the mind out of the way, full vocal releases invited, and one of the most effective ways to release emotional blockages. SHAKING also vitalizes the body in profound ways, helping move the lymphatic system, and has even been used to heal all kinds of chronic, debilitating and even grave illness. The San Bush People of the Kalahari desert in Africa who taught Darren's teacher Shaking Medicine shared that true meditation occurs at the end of the shake, when the body is completely released of tension and we fall into the delicious repose of energetic catharsis.
And so, after shaking, we will deepen into a collaborative sound journey.
About Sound Medicine: SOUND MEDICINE facilitates the journey into Self as Source, and thereby into healing and wholeness. SOUND MEDICINE has been used for thousands of years. Pythagoras recognized that all is vibration and that all bodies and components of bodies vibrate in intervals in relation with one another. A healthy body and mind is one that vibrates in harmony. Dr. Alfred Tomatis identified that high-frequency harmonics and sounds charge the brain and that nearly all the cranial nerves connect to the ear, including the vagus, or tenth cranial nerve. This nerve affects the larynx, bronchi, the heart and the gastrointestinal track, meaning our breath, voice, heart rate and digestion are also directly affected in the receipt of sound. In medical science today, sound is used to heal sickness and disease (for example, an ultrasound to detect and treat soft tissue injuries) and the influence of SOUND has been measured to move the brain into theta waves, a deep meditative state. A Sound Journey uses intention, instruments, harmonics, rhythms, and voice to release energetic blockages and deepen our understanding of Self. Sound and vibration combined with intention exert a powerful influence on the body and mind and our internal medicine, moving us from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state, creating space to journey into and grow self-knowledge and shift limbic patterns, thereby healing and deepening our relationship with Self. It is in the conscious nurturing of this capacity within ourselves that we each assert ownership and growth of our innate Sacredness and capacity for healing, joy and wholeness.
Tickets: Advance $40 / At door $50 (e-transfer to archerkow@gmail.com, Include name + email)
Where: 38 Adelaide St North, Unit 3, London ON
What to bring: A yoga mat, water bottle, and layered clothing.

INDIVIDUAL SOUND SESSIONS and private sound baths
Individual sound sessions and semi-private sound baths are offered in-person.
While in-person work is preferred, I do also offer online therapies. This offers the convenience of sound meditation and healing in your own home. If you've experienced sound work in-person, know that with good headphones, you will be able to appreciate the benefits of a sound bath or sound session online. Please email your interest here.

vocal alchemy
Are you ready to honour your voice as a reflection of your soul and how you show up in the world?
Would you like to liberate the power of your healing voice?
Working through Helane Marie Anderson's six-week Vocal Alchemy program, meeting virtually, one-on-one, one hour a week for six weeks, this is a fully supported transformational process of healing in which you observe and free yourself of patterns and attitudes that stifle you and your voice. This is beneficial for singers and non-singers as it addresses freedom to use the voice in all it's expressions and as the reflection of our relationship with Self. Open to all and preceded by a brief intake interview (by phone or by zoom).
