Overview

Join us for an insightful workshop designed for professionals working with or interested in supporting individuals with sensory differences. This hands-on workshop offers a comprehensive exploration of music therapy’s role in sensory processing, integrating vital neuroscience insights with practical, experiential learning. The day will culminate in a relaxing sound bath, using Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, chimes, and the human voice to create a soundscape that promotes deep relaxation and meditation.

What to Expect:

‍In-depth Sessions: Delve into the neuroscience behind sensory processing needs and the transformative power of music therapy.

‍Interactive Learning: Engage in practical, hands-on activities that highlight multi-sensory experiences with musical instruments and technology.

‍Experiential Stations: Rotate through various ‘stations’ designed to simulate sensory experiences, enhancing your understanding and skills.

‍Collaborative Opportunities: Experience a fun-filled day of collaboration where you'll join other music therapy enthusiasts to explore innovative techniques and creative experiences in a supportive setting.

‍Special Feature - Sound Bath: Experience the therapeutic power of a group sound bath session, aimed at promoting deep relaxation and sensory integration. A Sound Bath is a practice designed to bring deep states of relaxation and meditation. A variety of instruments will be used, including Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, chimes, and the human voice, to create a landscape of sound that washes over you. The combination of sound waves are designed to be heard but also felt physically, engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, and encouraging a deep state of relaxation.
