Cultivating Neuro-Connections using the Expressive Arts
2019-09-22 13:00 - 18:00 (America/Halifax) | Healing Arts Studio, 1 Church Ave, Phoenixville, PA, 19460, United States
During these stressful times, many of us seek for higher spiritual needs and cultivate such practices to navigate through life however, without consciously knowing it, we find that we often get “hijacked” by our nervous systems’ responses to perceived threat or danger and once again find ourselves feeling disconnected from ourselves and significant others in our lives. Does this sound familiar to you?
In this workshop, we will review ground breaking Polyvagal science in an experiential & playful way. This approach offers practical “in the present moment” tools to learn how to tune in and listen to our nervous system responses as communicated through internal cues. Participants will be encouraged to notice their own direct experiences of physiological responses through deep listening using SpiritArts (Lynn Miller) process of awareness through breath, body, heart and deep listening.
Though arts processes, we will each have the opportunity to prepare a personal map of the 3 states of our autonomic nervous system (safety, fight or flight, and shutdown). Skills to change the brain through re-patterning the nervous system will be guided by explorations using vocal sound, movement, music & imagery, journaling, visual art & collage. These tools will be used to engage and strengthen the part of our nervous system which creates an internal experience of safety, curiosity and connection.
In a nutshell……Lynn and Sue will safely guide you through an embodied approach with Arts processing to explore:

How your nervous system is making you feel out of control, scattered, anxious
Fun Brain-training skills, that signal the brain that you’re safe (transform stress to calm)
The importance of relationship (connection to yourself and others) to not only heal but to function at new levels of possibility!
Ways to develop a practice of safely navigating your inner terrain on a daily basis

THE WORKSHOP IS $75. with advanced registration and $90. at the door

This vibrant community is in Colonial Mexico, north of Mexico City. It was discovered in the 1960’s by American and Canadian artists who have continued to flock to the area to express their creativity through painting, drawing, writing, dancing and music. The city of San Miguel has preserved its architectural beauty with buildings dating back to the 1500’s. It was chosen as a Unesco World Heritage site and was named the most beautiful city in the world in 2016. It is considered a very safe place to travel.
Jam Haven will be held at Casa Carly, a lovely hotel comprised of seven separate casitas surrounding a courtyard and community activities room. Events will be held in the activities room with 2 pianos. In the mornings, there will be opportunities to play together impromptu in the casita or courtyard or visit local sites.

Upon registration, more information about flights and ground transportation will be available. You can fly into Mexico City but Leon or Queretarro airports are preferred as they are closer. We will send information on door to door shuttles. It is actually quite easy and safe to come to San Miguel.

Bio-guided Music Therapy with Native Flute Biofeedback and Vocal Toning
Eric and Lynn Miller
In this session we will introduce fundamental concepts of Bio-guided Music Therapy with a focus on utilizing real-time physiological data with Native Flute biofeedback. We will also introduce vocal toning as a modality for internal Neuromodulation.
Neuromodulation is the ability to change the nervous system through an externally, or internally applied modality. Toning can be considered one of the most natural and direct tools for neuromodulation since it uses the voice, an instrument of the body. Toning is intentional vocal sounding for the purposes of relaxation, meditation, prayer, self-expression, emotional release and/or pain reduction. A single study brain map, of the presenter, will reveal changes in brain wave patterns while toning.
Via demonstration, we will create musical environments with vocal toning and Native Flute melodies triggered by real-time physiological measures of heart-rate, GSR and EEG brainwaves.
Target disorders: anxiety, high blood pressure, ADHD, Autism, depression, and addictions.

2018-06-23 10:00 - 17:00 (America/Halifax) | Healing Arts Studio, Church Avenue, Phoenixville, PA, 19460, United States
“To enter into the initiation of sound, of vibration and mindfulness, is to take a giant step toward consciously knowing the soul.” — Don G. Campbell
We will use our voices to cultivate personal power and express our inner music. The Inner and outer voice will be explored to develop tools in re-tuning our lives through embodying our voice. Re-tuning will be through the body, toning, energy meditations and light transmissions, vocal improvisation, chants, finding comfort with unknown and transmuting fears in a safe and fun environment with Music therapist Lynn Miller MA and Sound healer, Janey Butterworth MSW.
If you can talk, You can sing. All welcome, no matter level of experience.
You will also experience a vibrational treatment with a 50-string Sound bed for deep relaxation and we’ll enhance our singing with world instruments. read more..

Singing opens the throat chakra, the center for self-expression both physically and metaphysically as it is the area connecting the heart to the head. It allows us to express our needs, wants and what we feel. When our voice is ignored or censored it can shut down parts of our self. It is important that WE SING! The voice of the Divine Feminine wants to emerge and must be be heard if we are to bring balance to Earth and all of her broken systems. This beautiful voice of the Divine Feminine, the Sacred Mother, brings healing, acceptance, reconciliation and repair. It comes through all of us with joy and ease when our throat chakra is awakened.
The Healing Arts Studio is in the heart of Phoenixville. There are hiking trails, gift shops and many restaurants. If traveling, contact Lynn for suggested accommodations. Call or email for additional information about the workshop.

Registration

early bird by 12/30 $90.00 USDregistration after 12/30 $105.00 USD

The New Year is often a time for thinking about new beginnings and goals we would like to achieve. How do we set our sails of intention and then trust the wind and water currents to take us to the place we are meant to be. The journey can include turbulence, sudden changes in direction, and unexpected happenings. How do we use these as opportunities for showing up in the present moment and learning to Trust the Process even more.

Join Lynn Miller MA and Sue Mistretta MA, Expressive Arts therapists, for a day of self discovery through interweaving visual art, sound vibration, writing and guided imagery with the theme of “Trusting the Process.”
The arts are a window of our soul. Sounds and imagery can help us go deep within our inner landscape. You do not need experience in the arts with this safe group process.
Develop skills in:
Listening through our hearts and imagination
Finding Inner resources through the Creative Arts
Mindfulness practices through the arts
Painting from within with acrylic paints

The workshop includes vibrational treatments with tibetan sound bowls and the Svaram soundbed, a massage table with 50 strings underneath it. The vibrational treatment clears energy and supports receptivity and integration.

The Art and Science of Music and Healing
2017-11-11 10:00 - 17:00 (America/Halifax) | Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh, 3313 Wade Ave, Raleigh, NC, 27607, United States
REGISTER HERE
EARLY BIRD EXTENDED ($70/includes lunch) < also sliding scale if needed!
With Music therapists, Eric and Lynn Miller and Yuri Yamamoto
The arts have been used as a healing tool since ancient times. Arts rituals were experienced communally; used as a container and structure for facing fears, doubts, suffering as well as for celebration and connection with something greater than self. Today, music is being used therapeutically worldwide in hospitals, institutions and for self-healing and spiritual connection. Latest research shows that the arts are a means for long-term neuro-cognitive change.
In this workshop, we will combine community music making, neuroscience information and biofeedback experiences to explore:

Importance of connection through music
How to play music for fun, health and well-being
How the mind alone can influence physiology (importance of thoughts for healing).
How to use the power of the voice for healing (neurological developments on voice and healing)
Brain jamming, with biofeedback

Through a fun humanistic approach, participants will develop skills in creating music “in the moment”, through Improvisational (Mindfullness) techniques. Mindfulness is non-judgmental moment- to -moment attention to what is happening, which creates presence. Being present, changes perspectives from negating thoughts to well-being. These skills will be explored using movement, voice and instruments. Therapeutic effects of music created through Mindfullness techniques include:

Creative self-expression
Stress Reduction
Enhanced Spiritual connection
Emotional expression
Connection with others – collaboration
Increased Spontaneity and Resilience (generalizes to other situations)
Self-Realization, connection with deeper part of self

Evidenced based studies and experiential understanding will demonstrate how our physiology changes from stress to relaxation and our mind changes from fear to inspiration through Music and Mindfullness.
This workshop does not require any previous experience in creating music. World instruments will be available to play and bring your own. All instruments welcomed!
REGISTER HERE $70. / lunch included! (earlybird extended)

The Art and Science of Music and Healing
2016-11-11 10:00 - 17:00 (America/Halifax) | Unitarian Universalist Church, Raleigh, NC, United States
With Music therapists, Eric and Lynn Miller and Yuri Yamamoto
The arts have been used as a healing tool since ancient times. Arts rituals were experienced communally; used as a container and structure for facing fears, doubts, suffering as well as for celebration and connection with something greater than self. Today, music is being used therapeutically worldwide in hospitals, institutions and for self-healing and spiritual connection. Latest research shows that the arts are a means for long-term neuro-cognitive change.
In this workshop, we will combine community music making, neuroscience information and biofeedback experiences to explore:

How to play music for fun, health and well-being
How the mind alone can influence physiology (importance of thoughts for healing).
How to use the power of the voice for healing (neurological developments on voice and healing)
Brain jamming, with biofeedback

Through a fun humanistic approach, participants will develop skills in creating music “in the moment”, through Improvisational (Mindfullness) techniques. Mindfulness is non-judgmental moment- to -moment attention to what is happening, which creates presence. Being present, changes perspectives from negating thoughts to well-being. These skills will be explored using movement, voice and instruments. Therapeutic effects of music created through Mindfullness techniques include:

Creative self-expression
Stress Reduction
Enhanced Spiritual connection
Emotional expression
Connection with others – team building – collaboration
Increased Spontaneity and Resilience (generalizes to other situations)
Self-Realization, connection with deeper part of self

Evidenced based studies and experiential understanding will demonstrate how our physiology changes from stress to relaxation and our mind changes from fear to inspiration through Music and Mindfullness.
This workshop does not require any previous experience in creating music.
Lynn Miller and Yuri Yamamoto, vocalists, will have you singing from your soul. Lynn (guitarist) and Yuri (pianist) will accompany you and demonstrate simple accompaniment skills. Eric Miller will have you jamming and grooving. He plays the guitar and mandolin. Bring an instrument and/or your voice. We will have some easy to play world instruments to share.
