Sacred Architecture

In this course we will explore how the familiar concepts in musical composition form the basis of architectural design, at least in the traditional pre-Bauhaus schools of design. We will see how the musical terms consonance, accord, counterpoint, resolution, repetition, and variations on a theme all have meaning in the timeless approach to building design, by learning how to recognize and analyze these principles in the elements of various buildings. Key concepts from physics, such as resonance patterns, nodal points, attraction, in phase, and standing waves will supply additional insights into the natural laws of harmony. We will "visit" the great monuments of timeless architecture via illustrated lectures, videos, plan and elevation studies, and field trips. The accomplishments of the master builders of the Gothic Cathedrals, Islamic mosques, HIndu and Buddhist temples, and Neolithic megalithic monuments, and the humble dwellings of indigenous peoples will provide inspiring examples of how to create environments in harmony with ourselves, Nature and the Cosmos, that nurture our souls, and connect us with the Infinite within and without.

Clinical Psychology Ethics
Clinical Psychology Ethics
In this course students will learn how to work with clients in an ethical manner. The Ethical foundations of running a clinical practice are discussed in detail. Students will also learn how to manage difficulties that may come up in a sound healing session.

Advanced Inner Sound Awareness and Transformation

Advanced Inner Sound Awareness and Transformation
This class continues with the work from the first semester in providing tools, techniques and practices for raising your own consciousness so you can more clearly work with others.

Instructor: Silvina Vergara

Sound and Transitions
This course explores the use of sound to aid in a wide range of transitions - birth, life transitions, and leaving the body. We will discuss various processes for working with clients. We will also explore various concepts for framing transitions and how sound and music can be used.

Instructor: Jan Cercone

Sound and Nature

This is a class that will take you from the most microscopic elements of sound creating form, to the magical grandeur of earth and the galaxies themselves. In between, we will explore the communication and musical creations of elephants, whales, dolphins and plants; some of which are quite miraculous in their advanced communication systems and song styles - as well as experience the impact of sound on water. We will also take a brief look at the harmonics of sound on Raven, the software analysis program from Cornell University and travel back into our own pasts to see where we came from and how sound has the capacity to enable time travel!

Sound Healing Research Projects

This course deals with the conceptual and practical challenges involved with the collection, management and exploration of data for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Students will then use the research techniques to design and implement a research project of their own choice.

Sound and Energy Healing

This class explores the wide range of energy healing protocols from a sound perspective. Seeing everything as vibration the class explores sound in relationship to the vibrational healing used in such treatments as Massage Therapy, Reiki. Energy Healing treatments may focus on the following:
* Meridians * Chakras * "Etheric" (often said to be the first layer of the field, like an energetic blueprint)
* Emotional energy body * Mental energy body * Astral layer (defined differently by various healers)
* Causal body * Lightbody and vibrational energy bodies * Various other models associated with diverse techniques

We will also look at new energy healing technologies including: Voice Analysis, Water Infusion Systems, Zyto, Nutri-Energetics Systems - Professional, Asyra, Radionics, QXCI, The Rife Machine, Bicom, and BioMeridian. We will also discuss some of the newer technologies of the future including Virtual Reality Sound and Visual Systems.

Guest Lecturer Series

A wide range of Lecturers will join us. In the past we have had Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Don Estes, Dr. Fred Bell, Jill Purce, Manfred Clynes, and William A. Mathieu to name a few.

Sound Therapy Lab - Sound Therapy Practicum

It is through practice that you refine your skills and gain the confidence to be able to open your own practice or work within existing institutions. With instructor supervision, students will perform a wide range of treatments on clients from the general public.
