For Immediate Release
Santa
Cruz, California--The first International Sound Symposium
of the 21st century will be held March 1-4, 2002 at the Hyatt
in San Jose, California. This symposium will bring together
an international community of scientists, sound and vibrational
therapists, musicologists, and the community-at-large. This
is a unique opportunity to learn about the research, the technologies,
and the work being conducted in the field of sound and vibrational
medicine.
The event will include four days of intensive workshops, featured
presentations, panel discussions, exhibits and demonstrations,
concerts, and other activities. Many leading presenters from
the growing vibrational therapy field have been scheduled. Keynote
speakers are musicologist Don Campbell (The Mozart Effect),
musician and researcher Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, psychotherapist-musician
Tom Kenyon, and composer-psychologist Silvia Nakkach. Also leading
workshops are multidimensional musician Jacotte Chollet, composer-researcher
Joshua Leeds, musician-educator-music therapist Dr. Arthur Harvey,
sound therapist Sharry Edwards, musician and sound therapist
Wayne Perry, scientist-therapist Dr. James Oschman, musician-composer
Randy Masters, and researcher-author Dr. Billie Thompson.
The symposium's coordinating committee states, "It's our intention
to create a forum for the sharing of information, scientific
research, and sound healing resources, modalities, and techniques.
This will be an opportunity for people at all levels of interest
or experience to network with others from around the world,
forming important alliances to advance this field of healing.
The ancient practice of sound healing is seeing a great resurgence
in our time. Studies in France have shown that sound and music
enhance normal brain functions, normalize abnormal brain wave
activity, reduce high blood pressure, lessen pain, reduce stress
hormones, and prevent premature labor. Sound therapy is said
to be a perfect complement to all types of healthcare treatments.
In the last decade, sound therapy has become more widely known
and accepted throughout the world as a valuable medical healing
modality."
