| Viewing this process so objectively can radically change the way we perceive disorder, inviting us to accept disintegration as an ally instead of resisting or fearing it. This evening's exploration offers unique insights into the structure and dynamics of the vibrational matrix which sustains us, and all of life, in this wonderful dance of creation. Familiarity with Cymatics and sacred geometry is helpful, but not essential. Jeff will bring an ecclectic assortment of books and videos on these topics. You can also visit his website, www.cymaticsource.com. Jeff Volk is a poet, video artist and publisher. He produced the video Of Sound Mind and Body: Music and Vibrational Healing, winner of the Hartley Film Award through the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and the International Sound Colloquium, an annual conference exploring the power of sacred sound and healing music. He recently re-published Dr. Hans Jenny's books Cymatics, Vol. I & II. Jenny's cymatic images are used by Gregg Braden, Jonathan Goldman, Tom Kenyon, John Anthony West and many others because they scientifically demonstrate how audible sound creates harmonic, geometric patterns found in mandalas and crop circles. Here's a printable poster for this event. |

| The search for harmony is a universal human desire. Yet along the way, chaos and disorder appear unexpectedly, and in many diverse ways...a sudden illness, an accident, or the loss of a loved one. Most often we react with strong aversion, fearing a loss of self-control. Despite our discomfort with discord and disharmony, chaos appears to play an essential role in growth and evolution. Just think how much discord is involved in learning to play the violin, how much disharmony occurs as an orchestra tunes up! The remarkable Cymatics experiments of Dr. Hans Jenny demonstrate how sound creates form and structure in matter, vividly portraying many of the universal patterns which appear in nature and throughout the world's great artistic and architectural traditions. These patterns reflect certain universal principles which underlie our lives, just as specific vibratory frequencies underlie, and determine these forms. We'll view video excerpts of these fascinating experiments, comparing these images with forms found in sacred geometry, mandalas and even crop circles to show the universality of these processes, and how they manifest in the circumstances of our lives. These ever-fluid Cymatics "soundforms" also demonstrate the dynamics of chaos... as the intensity of the tone rises, the old form breaks down, until suddenly a "quantum leap" occurs and a new pattern emerges, reflecting a new level of coherency and integration. |
