Healing," and the International Sound Colloquium, will present Dancing with
Disorder: Finding Harmony in a Chaotic World-- a multimedia event
exploring the subtle (or esoteric) nature of music and sound. See
fascinating footage of how sound structures water, and how it moves through
very specific phases of chaos and reintegration, dramatically portraying
universal principles which are extremely relevant in our personal lives,
and are especially pertinent to the healing process. This will be further
articulated through related material on natural geometry and sound
therapies. Jeff will have an eclectic assortment of "sound health"
resources for sale. Laurie Riley will provide music for the event.
Location: Sedona Creative Life Center, Schnebly Hill Road, in Sedona.
$20. Advance registration is recommended for this special event, as space
