The Center is a non-residential study and therapeutic center. We are situated on pristine land which incorporates deciduous and evergreen forests, meadows, a peaceful river, falls, springs, and gorge. We often incorporate work with the beauty and power of the Earth, and the elements of the Earth, in our programs. Utilizing the power of Sacred Sound as a vehicle for transformational exploration, we come into personal attunements, and initiations into the Great Mystery.
What is Sacred sound? Sacred sound is one way of defining the nature of whom we are as vibrational beings. Sound is the nature of Creation, as spoken through so many cultures, from Aboriginal to Biblical to Hindu. 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. Integrating esoteric practices of shamanic and alchemical traditions, Zacciah creates the groundwork which assists us in walking through a rich tapestry of unfolding experiential insights into our essence. He also works with Sacred Earth Sites, assisting us through ceremony and simple practices, to attune to earth energies and essences, again to deepen relationship, and awaken personal revelation of the Nature of Place. Sacred Sound has the power to move us beyond all normal realms of perception, of understanding, and comprehension. It has the ability to synchronize us with the mystical attributes of the Great Creation, the Here and Now, with the ebb and flow of Earth and Heaven. It can allow us to enter the Great Mystery with direct perception, bypassing the common cognitive method of experiencing and understanding, entering the Gnosis, knowing by experiencing.It is Sacred Sound which then instills us with wonder at the Mystery and Beauty of All That Is, experiencing the Vastness and Oneness of which we are a part. It can part the veils of perception, that we might see, feel, and understand the Cosmos, its Wholeness, and our place in it. Sacred Sound also holds the potency of Creation, able to mold and form that we hold with pure intention, into a greater visceral knowing, with the ability to emerge into creative manifestation in our lives, and world. With tenderness, knowing, humor, warmth, and efficacy, Zacciah guides us into this place of Wonder and embracing who we are. |

About Our Logo
![]() We often have visitors ask about our logo. The symbol we use for the Center's logo is a combination of ancient symbols, inspiration of other artists, and part of a logo we have used for decades in our partner business of musical and healing instruments, Sunreed World Musical Instruments (see www.sunreed.com). The centermost emblem is the "Om", a Hindu symbol of Creation/Creator, containing all elements of Creation within it. It is said to be the 'sound' of all manifest Creation. In Hindu music, it is said to resonate at a frequency between C# and D. It is often considered as a word for "God," literally meaning "All", or "All That Is." Containing the Om, is a symbol of two triangles interlocking, which is actually, in three dimensions, two tetrahedral (3 sided) pyramids. So, this is called a Star Tetrahedron, and is related to the Sacred Geometries which compel All Life. It is often viewed in western society as the "Star of David", or the "Seal of Solomon." However, it is also the Sri Yantra of Hinduism, the Merkaba of Egyptian mysticism, and used throughout the world as a symbol of the union of Divine Feminine and Masculine in the act of Creation. The ascending liberating energies of Earth, coupliing with the descending manifesting energies of Heaven, join, create, sustain and move, all life, in a unified form. Life in the manifest form does not exist without these two energies in union and harmony. Much of our work focuses on creating and building awareness and conscious interaction with these two principals contained within all life. The electromagnetic field, which is the foundation of our etheric being, is a counter-rotational field, called a toroid, created through this union. As with any EM field, it is created by the spin of the activating principal of the electric/masculine, coupling with the receptive/gestative principal of the magnetic/feminine. The two hearts are indicative of the human element of love and divine union, which serves our growth, and is an offspring of this deeper union compelling us in our inherent nature. The Sun is universal, but also relative to our 'Sunreed' logo's origins. (See www.sunreed.com) When first sculpting flutes from bamboo, Zacciah found a sun was formed by the grains of bamboo emerging at each node, when cut and polished at the right point. The name "Sun Reed" was born of the sun contained within each reed of bamboo. |
