Bob is a mind body facilitator with a background in personal development, meditation, yoga, breathwork, music and mental health. He has been called to the power of sound through first hand experience and training, both with the instruments and philosophies of this ancient and evolving wellness modality.
Sounds created by these instruments can provide the mind with a break from thinking patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, ocd, ptsd, depression and sleep disturbances. Allow the sounds and vibrations of the instruments to assist you in releasing what no longer serves you. Give yourself permission to create space for renewal!
Transformation through Sound - Breath, Body and Attention:
The session will begin with light body and breathwork designed to release tension held in the body. As we activate the body the mind will begin to quiet and still. (No special skill or physical ability required.) We will then lay back in a comfortable pose for the dureation as the live sounds from a variety of overtone producing instruments guide us deeper and deeper on a journey through and often beyond the subconscious. Give yourself permission to enter that state between wakefulness and dreams.

As a life long seeker, I stumbled across the work of Dr. Patrick Flanagan and Dr. Fred Bell discussing the scientific nature of the pyramids and was intrigued yet also skeptical. So rather than reading about it, I wanted to learn more at a deeper level with my own experiences with them. Once I finally got to experience the pyramid power, the rest is history. This talk will be about some of my personal experiences with the pyramids and how they effect the mind, body and spirit and their influences on nature.
