All That Is enters through the surrendered heart into this field of reality. All That Is knows no bounds. Love unifies. Love is the power of the Word. The Word was before God, before all of Creation. Thus the very vibration of spirit is creation itself. -Archangel Michael (through Norma Gentile)

Tibetan Bowl Workshop Learn to play or improve your skills A Workshop for Everyone (very 'hands-on' and about 2 hours long) Learn to play or improve your skills with your own bowl, or borrow one and try it out.  Norma will share her own experience of how metal bowls will play the energies of those who are listening to them, and share some insights on using and choosing a bowl.  Bring your bowl(s), related accoutrements and prepare to have fun.  LEARN TO: - Balance the bowl in your palm and grip the dowl properly - Allow the energies of the bowl to move through your body - Create tones that are healing to yourself and others - Maintain a tone by ringing the outside of the bowl with a wooden dowl - Strike the bowl to create chime tones - What to look for in purchasing a bowl for yourself Sound Shaman Norma Gentile stands on the precipice between the worlds of professional music making and energy healing. Trained in both worlds, she holds a master's degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Michigan, has recorded four solo CDs of Hildegard's chant, and is a published author and channel for the Hathors and Archangel Michael. Norma has appeared on CBS TV, demonstrating live the properties of Gregorian style chant to relax the physical body, and has been profiled by NPR's All Things Considered and the Toronto Star. Her music is used by Carolyn Myss, Drunvalo Melchizedek, and the female yogini Gurmukh. Her singing has a "supernatural presence, concentration, and modal sensitivity. according to Mark Longaker (music critic, Washington Post). Her sound healing experience is included in Brooke Medicine Eagle's book "The Last Ghost Dance". Norma's gift, to be deeply intuitive as a highly trained musician, allows her to step beyond even the extraordinary, into the truly new realms to which music leads us all. Norma has been invited to teach at the American Conservatory Theater, Wisdom University, and has coached cast members of Broadway shows such as Vagina Monologues and The Lion King, while coaching singers from musical groups as diverse as Sweet Honey in the Rock and Hesperion XXI. Her website offers complementary mp3 downloads of live healing chants and many articles. www.healingchants.com Articles that reflect the topics we will cover: some workshop handouts Itinerary Newsletters Articles Podcasts
