Description of talks:

"Awakening the Music of Your Inner Temple." - Matthew von Behrens

"Everyone has experienced how singing or listening to a certain tune can uplift your spirit. What if we want to uplift the highest Spirit of all within and around us? What is the music best suited to do that, for you as an individual? You can find out using practices Edgar Cayce recommended, which we will do and will help to awaken the music of your own "inner temple."

Matthew is a harp playing chaplain at Porter Hospital in Middlebury, Vermont (USA) as well as an ordained Christian minister, playing at the bedsides of both those souls entering the earth and taking their first breaths, and those souls leaving the earth and taking their final breaths.

Wellness Through Sound - Andrea Courey

‘Music as a bridge’ appropriately describes how Sound Meditation takes us into our invisible

world to connect with our consciousness. We are vibrational beings and our cells respond to

high vibration. When we experience a choice bit of vibration with just the right facilitation, we

build our own bridge to our inner world. Using the breath, we quiet the mind, follow the sound

and allow a myriad of wonderful sensations and visualizations to arise.

Sound meditation is a healing experience that incorporates crystal bowls, rattles, chimes and

Tibetan bowls with recorded high vibrational music and live guidance to bring you an elevated

vibratory experience. By raising your personal vibration, you can shift out of lower vibrational

states like anxiety and worry to acceptance, equanimity and peace. Benefits include reduced

muscle tension and anxiety, increased intuition, improved mental clarity and wellbeing.

Andrea began meditating in 1992 after living a profound near death experience. Initially

meditating in silence, her world changed when the first crystal bowl was introduced around

2000. She continued to practice Sound Meditation through her years as an award winning

entrepreneur, a McGill University lecturer and a mentor for budding entrepreneurs.

Finally retiring in 2015, Andrea began dedicating herself full time to facilitating Sound

Meditations at yoga and wellness centres, hospitals, universities and since 2020, online via

Zoom. Participants report pain reduction, better sleep, after death communication with loved

ones, reduction of anxiety and greater peace. An author, Andrea has written 2 books and a play

on themes of life and life after life.

Edgar Cayce on Sound - Karen Stemmler

The medicine of the future will be music and sound.’ Edgar Cayce

This interactive presentation will have us look at our bodies and sound, and how we can support our energy through music and frequency.  It will highlight current research, along with Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) quotes.

With the advent of the cymascope (which is a tool to make sound visible), amidst an explosion of information, methods and techniques applying sound in the field of health care; it is so delightful to bask in the words of Edgar Cayce from so many years ago, and see them being revealed in and through us, and experience the many exciting aha’s and realizations, potentials, & vibrations of the love that we are!

Session one - We will look at the properties of sound and Edgar Cayce quotes assisting us in attuning to the Divine.

Session two  - We will explore recent scientific advancements in sound and tips in incorporating them in everyday life.

Karen Stemmler grew up in an Edgar Cayce household and is a lifelong participant with the material.

As a teacher of music for many years, Karen has been very interested in the many readings

pertaining to sound and the many ways frequencies heal and strengthen our energy field.
