SONIC THEOLOGY: The Metaphysical Understanding of Sound Therapy, and the Attainment of Spiritual Harmonic Knowledge / First Module of the Sound Therapy Certification of 9Ways Academia

In Person Event

Sonic Theology features an examination of Western, Mid Eastern, and Far Eastern theoretical approaches to Sound Therapy. A 170,000 year analysis of the footprints of Sound Therapy, and beyond.

Sonic Theology is everything missing from all sound healing programs presented in the West, and may very well be the most thorough historical investigation on the subject ever presented.

Co-facilitated by Mitch Nur and Mike Tamburo, Big Metal offers an immersive exploration into the world of large metal instruments, with a focus on gongs 44” or larger. This course is designed for those wishing to deepen their understanding of the deep resonance and complex overtones that emerge from these massive instruments.

The instrument existed at the time of Lord Shenrab (16,000BC according to some historians ), and may be considerably older according to sources in the Bon community. The instrument is found in other shamanic traditions in the Himalayan region of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Yunnan, Tuva, Mongolia,and as far north as the Buriyat Republic.

Why is this important? According to Dr. Mitch's research, "the upturned...
