Course Description:

For as old as human civilization, sound has been used as a healing tool for physical and mental disease. From the tribal villages of Africa and the Americas, to the ashrams and monasteries of Asia, the combination of frequency and vibration have served as medicine to individuals and communities suffering from physical and psychosomatic ailments, spiritual malaise and mental anguish.

With the advent of the shrinking-world and the convergence of East and West, what was once relegated to religion, myth, hocus-pocus, or snake-oil, is now being validated by the sciences of physics, geometry, biology, psychology and more. In short, sound has the capacity to heal; to balance, to reduce stress, to bring harmony.

Join Mark Carter & Jeny Dawson from Zen Soul Balance and Gretchen Mallios, LCSW for an educational presentation that will include both a Sound Bath experience as well as an interactive lesson that explores the history, science and practice of Sound Healing, and its therapeutic application and efficacy for mental health. Pre-registration for this event is required.

Gretchen Mallios is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in San Diego. She is a Certified EMDR Therapist and specializes in treating trauma and stress-related conditions. Gretchen has been studying and practicing yoga since she entered graduate school and thus, her understanding of how yoga can be a pathway to healing began at the same time as she initiated her professional career. A decade later, she enrolled in a Yoga Training program in San Diego to deepen her understanding of the practice. Since then, she has been seeking further learning and studies to explore how the Yoga traditions can be used to assist and support the healing journey. Gretchen is the founder of Positively Yoga, a unique yoga practice space specifically designed for those seeking therapeutic yoga to address emotional health & nervous system disorders.
