SUMMARY:GLOBE SOUND HEALING CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:Researchers\, Pioneers\, Instructors\, Doctors\, Sound Therapists\, and Musicians in the field of Sound Healing\nGood Balance of Sound Healing Science\, New Technologies experiential workshops and Concerts. \nwww.soundhealingcenter.com/conference \nBio-guided Music Therapy with Native Flute Biofeedback and Vocal Toning\nEric and Lynn Miller \nIn 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. \nNeuromodulation 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. \nVia 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. \nTarget disorders: anxiety\, high blood pressure\, ADHD\, Autism\, depression\, and addictions.

SUMMARY:The Art and Science of Music and Healing
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nEARLY BIRD EXTENDED ($70/includes lunch) < also sliding scale if needed! \nWith Music therapists\, Eric and Lynn Miller and Yuri Yamamoto \nThe 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. \nIn this workshop\, we will combine community music making\, neuroscience information and biofeedback experiences to explore: \n\nImportance of connection through music\nHow to play music for fun\, health and well-being\nHow the mind alone can influence physiology (importance of thoughts for healing).\nHow to use the power of the voice for healing (neurological developments on voice and healing)\nBrain jamming\, with biofeedback\n\nThrough 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: \n\nCreative self-expression\nStress Reduction\nEnhanced Spiritual connection\nEmotional expression\nConnection with others – collaboration\nIncreased Spontaneity and Resilience (generalizes to other situations)\nSelf-Realization\, connection with deeper part of self\n\nEvidenced 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. \nThis workshop does not require any previous experience in creating music. World instruments will be available to play and bring your own. All instruments welcomed! \nREGISTER HERE    $70.  /   lunch included!   (earlybird extended)\n \n  \nThe presenters: \nLynn Miller MA\, is the author of SpiritArts\, Transformation through Creating Art\, Music and Movement\, which is a culmination of her experience in Arts and Healing. Lynn is a certified music therapist who is also trained in Expressive arts therapy. She has been an adjunct faculty member in music therapy at Immaculata University in PA. \nDr. Eric Miller\, Ph.D. biofeedback therapist and board-certified music therapist is author of Bio-guided Music Therapy (2011) Jessica Kingsley Publishers. He serves as Coordinator for the Ott Lab for Music & Health at Montclair University in the Music Therapy Department. \nTogether the Millers co-authored\, a book chapter:  The Use of Music for Neuromodulation.

The Millers are faculty for Flute Haven\, a Native American flute school. Retired faculty (20 years) for Music for People\, an organization dedicated to music improvisation with the philosophy that music is for everyone.\n \n \nAlso\, Join us on Sunday Nov. 12th 11-12pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh.

SUMMARY:The Art and Science of Music and Healing
DESCRIPTION:With Music therapists\, Eric and Lynn Miller and Yuri Yamamoto \nThe 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. \nIn this workshop\, we will combine community music making\, neuroscience information and biofeedback experiences to explore: \n\nHow to play music for fun\, health and well-being\nHow the mind alone can influence physiology (importance of thoughts for healing).\nHow to use the power of the voice for healing (neurological developments on voice and healing)\nBrain jamming\, with biofeedback\n\nThrough 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: \n\nCreative self-expression\nStress Reduction\nEnhanced Spiritual connection\nEmotional expression\nConnection with others – team building – collaboration\nIncreased Spontaneity and Resilience (generalizes to other situations)\nSelf-Realization\, connection with deeper part of self\n\nEvidenced 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. \nThis workshop does not require any previous experience in creating music. \nLynn 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.

SUMMARY:Music for Healing and Transition Conference
DESCRIPTION:The  Heart-­Centered  Musician:  Navigating  the  Tides  of  Healthcare\nJuly 14-17 at the Presentation Center in Los Gatos\, California.\nThursday Evening – July 14\nThe Thursday evening keynote presentation\,\nSpiritArts: Transformation Through Improvisation\, will be presented by Lynn Miller and Eric Miller\, Ph.D.\, two music therapists with a broad range of experience. Improvisation entails deep listening to the sounds of our voices or instruments and being guided by the sound\, which helps take us out of our thinking mind or “the critic” that often impedes our process. When we are present with the music\, we go into a “flow state.” The Millers will provide tools to help facilitate music from the inside out\, including techniques from SpiritArts and Music for People (MFP). Bring your voice or instrument for this experiential workshop.\nLynn Miller is the author of SpiritArts\, Transformation Through Creating Art\, Music\, and Movement\, which is a culmination of her experience in arts and healing. She is on the faculty for Music for People\, an international improvisational music training program founded by Grammy award-winning cellist\, David Darling. Lynn is also on the staff for Flute Haven Native Flute School\, a humanistic educational approach to developing Native flute skills. Lynn is a certified music therapist who is also trained in sound healing and expressive arts therapy. She has been an adjunct faculty member in music therapy at Immaculata University and teaches a music therapy class at Gwynedd Mercy University in PA. She and her husband Eric Miller have facilitated workshops in Switzerland\, Canada\, India\, Italy\, France\, and throughout the U.S.\nDr. Eric Miller\, Ph.D.\, MT-BC\, biofeedback therapist and board-certified music therapist\, is author of Bio-Guided Music Therapy (2011)\, published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. He serves as Coordinator for the Ott Lab for Music & Health in the Music Therapy Department at Montclair University. Recent international presentations include sessions at the World Music Therapy Congress in Seoul\, S.

He is a board member of the Interdisciplinary Society of Quantitative Research in Music and Medicine.\n\nConcurrent Sessions. There will be three Friday concurrent sessions\, one of which is Bio-Guided Music Therapy and Our Changing Healthcare System with Lynn and Eric Miller. This workshop provides the music practitioner with a rationale\, historical context\, and a step-by-step “how-to” demonstration utilizing real-time physiological data to inform therapeutic music playing\, with outlines for approaches to various purposes and populations. \nAfternoon Plenary Session\nFearless Presence – How To Cultivate the Courage To Be a Compassionate Presence in the Face of Suffering will be presented by Kirsten DeLeo. In this experiential presentation\, we will explore and internalize practical ways to practice compassionate presence for others and ourselves. Presenting a view that weaves together contemplative practice\, science\, and hands-on experience\, Kirsten DeLeo will offer a framework that will enable you to stay present with others while remaining open\, spacious\, and centered in yourself.\nIn leading seminars and retreats for professionals and the public in North and South America and Europe\, Kirsten draws on more than 20 years of experience in accompanying terminally ill people and their families. She is on the faculty of “Contemplative End-of-Life Care\,” a professional certificate program launched at Natrona University in 2003.

Kirsten is known for her clarity and warmth.\nFriday Evening\nConcurrent Sessions\nKirsten DeLeo will present one of the three concurrent sessions. Her session on The Practice of Compassionate Presence will provide experiential opportunities to explore some of the key practices of the contemplative approach of accompanying another. These will include using our physical presence\, sounds\, and sights as methods to become mindful and aware\, as well as compassion practices for self and others. These methods are drawn from the contemplative tradition of Tibetan Buddhism\, with its long- standing and effective methodologies for deepening the human capacity for compassion.\nClaire Garabedian will present the second of our three concurrent sessions. Her session will be on A Ph.D. in Applied Social Science at 54: The Unexpected Journey of a CMP. By sharing her unexpected journey from professional cellist to Ph.D. researcher at a university in the United Kingdom\, Claire takes listeners through life’s unexpected twists and turns to remind us all that we never can be quite sure what we will be when we “grow up.” \nThe MHTP Cafe? – An Open Mike Night…and our legendary jam sessions\nSaturday Morning – July 16\nMedical Panel Discussion: Navigating the Tides of Healthcare—New Legislation and Regulations and Their Impact (panelists to be announced)\nSaturday Afternoon\nAfternoon Plenary Session: I’d Rather Have Music!: Exploring the Effects of Individualized Live and Pre-Recorded Music for People With Dementia Nearing the End of Life and Their Caregivers will be presented by Claire Garabedian\, CMP\, Ph.D.\nClaire Garabedian is an Associate Researcher in Creative Arts and Dementia at the Association for Dementia Studies\, University of Worcester\, United Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Music for People Improv Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey Social Workers Conference Evening Program  Borgato Hotel\, Atlantic City\, NJ\nA special presentation by Lynn Miller and Lynn Saltiel with the Music for People Improv Orchestra \nMusic for People (MFP) was founded in 1988 by David Darling and Bonnie Insull as a nonprofit organization that promotes self-expression through music improvisation and the creative arts. MFP was founded on the belief that music is a natural creative expression available to everyone. MFP acts as a catalyst in gathering people together to play and sing by creating a safe environment in which they can explore musical expression. All styles of music are celebrated and players of all levels of experience and all walks of life are welcomed. “It is not music for the sake of performance\, it is music for the sake of human development and potential and growth.”\n(Mary Knysh\, MLP Chairperson).  \nMusic for People Improv Orchestra is an improvisational orchestra which includes vocalists\, storyteller and an array of traditional world instruments. The members create “music in the moment” with audience participation included. It is the use of music as a medium for self-expression\, for communication\, for a better understanding of how to be with others in sound and in relationship\, which in turn creates stronger communities. \n
