January 20-22, 2006 - Deep Flow: Sound, Silence, Story, Song
A workshop with Molly Scott at Rowe Conference Center in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Register Online: www.rowecenter.org
This write-up is from the Rowe Conference Center Catalogue:
In a sense, we are sound. We are energetic frequencies as dense as bone and as subtle as spirit. The sounds we make, the sounds we are, affect us at every level of our being: from the resonance of our molecular structure to our thoughts and emotions and our sense of self and soul. Working with sound is an ancient technology, now coming into exciting potential in modern science.
Our voices are instruments of great subtly and power, capable of changing the balance of energies in our own bodies and in our relationship with others. We are constantly tuning ourselves through the instrument of our voices. Sighs relax us and our cries of ecstasy and sorrow align our inner feelings with the outer world.
In this workshop, we will use the alchemy of group resonance to come to heightened awareness of the vibrant power of our own voices. In the safety of the sound circle, we will explore our capacity, beyond language, to enter into that luminous realm of spontaneous sounding. Old stories of wounding can be transformed into our present experience of radiant creativity, energy, and joy.
Our work will be grounded in the theory of the psychobiological aspects of sound. However, the main focus of our time together will be on our spontaneous experience of sound, within ourselves and in the group. We will work and we will play with sound and silence, movement, singing, and meditation. Bring your voice, your stories, your willingness to listen in and to sound out.
Molly Scott is a licensed psychotherapist, singer, poet, and educator who has presented her work with psychology and sound in Europe, North America, and Asia. Her early career in television, theater, and film led her to be active as a performer and composer in the social justice and peace movements. A pioneer in the field of sound therapy and the creator of the Deep Story treatment for trauma, Dr. Scott directs the Creative Resonance Training Institute, teaches at Antioch New England Graduate School, and maintains a therapy practice in Western Massachusetts. Her recordings include “We Are All One Planet,” “Honor the Earth,” and “Sound of Light,” which was recorded in the chapel at Rowe. Molly has been offering workshops here since 1977 and is one of our dearest, oldest, and smartest friends.

This four day intensive is designed to provide Creative Resonance body/mind/spirit experience for people who wish to interact with the energetic flow in life systems with enhanced empathy and awareness.

- With Anne Skillings, MS. educator and equine learning specialist, we will invite horses into our circle, interacting with the intelligent awareness of these intuitive creatures and learning more about our common natures.
- The retreat will be held in a lovely, private forest setting. We will hold each day’s beginning and end in meditation with song, silence, and the resonance of sounding bowls. Acknowledging our role as change makers in these troubled times, we will hold the intention that our work and play contribute to the well being of others.

Sound As Touch Training
Resonance Therapy for people interested in integrating vocal sounding and touch into their practice.
SOUND AS TOUCH is a complimentary Creative Resonance training for therapists, body workers, and healers interested in incorporating healing touch through sound in vibrational mind/body therapy. The work combines techniques from psychotherapy, touch therapies, psychoacoustics, voice, and bodywork.
SOUND AS TOUCH is premised on the concept of the body as a resonant instrument, responsive to behaviors governing all non-linear systems in which a small, focused intervention can generate large changes in the field. Our cells act as semi-conductors, transforming energetic impulses, including sound, into electrical messages, which affect the entire living tissue matrix of the body.
In practice, this means that sound, like light touch, can generate significant change at the cellular level. Indeed, the cells interpret sound as a kind of touch and respond accordingly.
In Sound as Touch hands-on / voice-on practice, participants learn to work deeply and respectfully with the body using sonic subtle energy techniques. Particular attention is paid to deepened listening, talking to the body and to boundary issues in work with voice and touch.
Dr. Molly Scott is a licensed psychotherapist also trained in Cranial-Sacral bodywork and energetic alignment who has developed a unique practice doing deep body energy work with vocal frequencies.
