Sound Healers Trainings

with Zacciah Blackburn,
2007 Programs
Ending  August, 2007
For New Level I 2007-8 programs, beginning Sept, 2007, click here

Zacciah Blackburn is a sound healer trained in classical healing and shamanic traditions, and sacred sound cultures, and is practicing in Ascutney, VT, at the Center of Light.   Zacciah is also Co-Director, Board and Trustee member, and Director of Education for the New England Sound Healing Research Institute (NESHRI,) a worldwide community of healing practitioners broadening the awareness of sound healing through networking, education, and scientific research.  He is also co-founder of the World Sound Healing Organization, and the All One Now network of organizations furthering world peace, healing, and transformation of human consciousness through simple ceremony, broadcast live via the internet (www.worldsoundhealing.org, www.allonenow.org.)

Zacciah has created a broad range of trainings in sound healing practice, which couples his deep cognitive and intuitive understanding of sound in therapeutic application.   These programs are an in depth study of the nature of sound and its healing effect on the human system, with cognitive and experiential training designed to better our understanding of, and therapeutic application in, the use of sound.  


Zacciah
 brings with him a warmth and radiance that exudes through his work.  
We invite you to join us in this insightful and uplifting program for personal and professional development.


These programs are offered in 8 weekend trainings, offered one weekend/month for 8 months beginning January 20-22, 2007; (our 5 day trainings are not currently being offered in 2007.  If you have interest in these being provided in your region, please contact us.)
  We recommend participation in all trainings for the best and most complete understanding of the nature, use and application of sound therapies. 
However, you may participate in any or all of the programs.
Zacciah offers a unique understanding, depth, and application of sound work.  We have not found another program with this level of expertise in all areas covered.  We will be guided through the process of how sound is used, and what the process of healing is, in oneself and others.  We offer the fundamental understanding that the pathway to becoming a healer is the pathway of one's own healing.  Thus, we will explore the internal and external dimensions of healing, in ourselves, and in others.  We will be given the opportunity to enter and further this path of understanding wherever we are upon it, through practical application.  And, we will be given the opportunity to explore how the appropriate and skilled use of Sacred Sound can bridge consciousness into unseen dimensions of experience and understanding.  The focus is upon practitioner training, but it cannot come without personal experience and understanding.  While Zacciah is an excellent experienced facilitator and educator, he believes we are our own best teachers. 
 

No prior experience is necessary to fully participate in these classes.  Intuitive sound healing is a process principally of the heart.  No prior vocal or instrumental training of any kind is necessary to participate fully.  The classes are appropriate for novice and practitioner, for those whom wish to learn or improve their meditational skills, their practitioner skills, experience healing, and how to heal, in a fundamental, yet potentially profound manner, and those who wish to build community.  Skilled practitioners will find moving information, and compelling exercises, to further their practice.  Novices will find skilled assistance in comprehending, experiencing, and utilizing skills offered.  We are each contributors to this process, in each training.  What we bring with us, and how deeply we are willing to explore, will bridge the potential to our own infinite understanding.

  Certificates of training are given to those completing each phase of this training, with a special presentation at the end of each series.   Certificates will indicate the level of training completed.  The Level I programs are a foundation for, and a requirement of, higher level studies, which will integrate deeper experiential practical application in therapeutic settings.    See Advanced Level II program information here.

Additional Program Information
What Others Are Saying About These Programs


Those wishing to further an Earth based understanding of sound in ceremony, working with Earth based energies utilizing more shamanic methodology, may follow up with our Return to Beauty programs in Vermont and elsewhere each summer, or our tour of ancient Sacred Sites of Great Britain, in April and May of 2007.  We recommend all of our sound healers' training programs for those wishing to understand how to access the subtle realms of consciousness, to attune, create relation with, and express deeper awareness in sacred sound, with voice, or instruments.  In 2007 we shall begin advanced Shamanic training for those participating in beginning programs.

July 13-15, 2007:    Sacred Sound Transmissions           3 days, $295
When we attune to our own sacred nature, and voice this in resonance with clarity and trust, we come into contact with our very essence.  Zacciah uses sound coupled with sacred intention to invoke the essence of higher being.  This allows us each to enter more readily into a sacred space, more ready to explore the deeper nature of ourselves, and relationship to that which we personally hold as sacred, and learn to better voice it.  The invocation of sacred sound streams, which Zacciah calls Sacred Sound Transmissions, creates the groundwork which assists us in walking through a rich tapestry of unfolding experiential insights into our essence.  We will explore together our inherent ability to discern and channel these sacred sound streams through voice and intention.


 August 10-12, 2007:   The Application of Sound Therapies                  3 days, $295

The program is designed that you may participate in one or all weekends in the series, though each program will also build off the previous ones.   Introductory weekends of the program may be offered in other areas of North America and Europe this year.  (Registration, payment and discount information follows.)



 


Check to see if we currently offer a monthly sound circle at the Center of Light in Ascutney, usually to be the second Tuesday of each month, at 7:30 PM.  We will explore a wide variety of sound techniques during this series. 
 Often we will offer a preface of sound healing techniques such as you would learn in these trainings. 

We are discussing a series of NESHRI based trainings with NESHRI facilitators
as fundraisers for NESHRI.  Watch our site, or subscribe to our newsletters for details.

 Chakras
 

  Attuning the Chakras   
An in depth study of the nature and development of these “wheels of light” within the subtle bodies & the human psyche; with attunement exercises via alchemical practices, esoteric exercises, and sacred sound transmissions.
w/ Zacciah

at The Center of Light, Ascutney, Vermont



We will be working with alchemical streams of consciousness to strengthen awareness and energy in the Light Body, offering toning exercises for the healing practitioner and lay persons, and, time permitting, building the exercises of the Tibetan “Breath of Fire” practice, which serves explicitly to awaken, clear, and attune the chakras.   Zacciah's trainings are strongly influenced by intuitive guidance.  The content of program material will alter from program to program due to this guidance, based in part, on current needs and abilities of the group.  However, cognitive information on the nature of the chakras and their role in human evolution is also an essential element of this class.

Note:  This program is now part of the Sound Healers Training, and focuses more on in depth cognitive information on the nature of the Chakras, and skill development utilizing sound to balance and energize the chakras in therapeutic settings. 
Some parts of the above descriptive, such as the "Breath of Fire" exercises, are currently not included.




The Nature of Healing with Sound:

Sound Healers Training, w/ Zacciah
  An in depth three day training, as previously offered in, and available in your location:
Orlando FL  
North Shore, Boston, MA
 
Michelle Foster, Director, the New England Sound Healing Research Institute


 
<>Join us in this weekend exploration of the nature of, and use of sound and light, in healing and  transformation.  What is the nature of sound?  How is it used in shamanic and sacred sound healing?  How do we connect with and channel the divine energies of light and sound?  What is the human energy field, and how does sound interact with it in healing and transformation?  We will work with specific techniques of intonation, intuitive guidance, focalization of will and intent, channeling of light energies, meditations to enhance awareness, guidance, and personal  transformation, the use of sounding tools such as voice, drums, tingshas, and crystal bowls, the use and programming of crystals, feathers, individual and group healings, and more.

In this current training, we will spend day one exploring the fundamental nature of sound, and the neurophysiology of sound and its matrix within the human body.  On day two, we will seek understanding of the etheric/subtle bodies, the chakra system, and the process of healing, with sound.  On day three, we will utilize a variety of  sounding techniques for transmission and healing.  (As of 2005, program content may vary to this listing.)

This is an in depth program which will benefit practitioner and novice alike.  We will create or deepen our foundation of understanding and experience to open us to further work with the mysteries of sacred sound in healing and transformation.  Zacciah's trainings are strongly influenced by intuitive guidance.  The content of program material will alter from program to program due to this guidance, based in part, on current needs and abilities of the group.

Sound Healing Training, w/ Zacciah 

Join us in these full day explorations of the nature of, and use of sound and light, in healing and  transformation.  What is the nature of sound?  How is it used in shamanic and sacred sound healing?  What is the human energy field, and how does sound interact with it in healing and transformation?  We will work with specific techniques of intonation, intuitive guidance, focalization of will and intent, channeling of light energies, meditations to enhance awareness, guidance, and personal  transformation, the use of sounding tools such as voice, drums, tingshas, and crystal bowls, the use and programming of crystals, feathers, individual and group healings, and more.
 

This will create a foundation of understanding and experience to open us to further work with the mysteries of sacred sound in healing and transformation.

 A note on Sound Healing Training:  I am more than happy to help broaden your awareness in the community of sound healing, and explore deep and rewarding comprehension of the use of sound as a therapeutic tool, a connector to the divine realm, a vehicle for channeling light energies into the earth, our bodies and spirits.  Novice and practitioners will both gain from our sound healers training.  Please let me know your level of interest.  Though my work is always based on intuitive guidance, the more aware I am of the level of abilities and interests of participants in class, the easier and more potent the work becomes.  Moreso, we are all creators in the classroom.  What we are open to, what we are ready for, what we ask for, and what we bring to each other, all opens doorways we might not have otherwise perceived.  I am also working with those seeking assistance in their own path, in private studies, healing, or spiritual counseling.  Please speak with me by e-mail, mail or phone.

Sound Healing Therapies

Zacciah accepts appointments for individual healing work or training in sound healing therapies.  This work is an eclectic blend of spiritual counseling and shamanic and sacred sound therapy, designed to help one connect with inner guidance and spiritual nourishment, clarify life issues, work with deep healing where needed, and to find one's own voice and authenticity in the world. The work is  to help you find and establish your path in your own sacred journey, to help you identify and remove obstacles to obtaining your own greatest good.  We whom have been on this journey, best understand it, and can best assist others.

You may call or e-mail Zacciah to discuss your personal needs.
