Come and join us online for inspiration and illumination, and be part of a like-minded community at our 2023 annual Mystics and Scientists Conference. For 45 years these meetings have been dedicated to forging a creative understanding of the complementary roles of rational scientific and intuitive mystical approaches to reality. Our topic this year is The Healing Power of Sound and Light at a time when ongoing traumas and the need for deep healing are urgently coming to the fore.

We have an amazing line-up of speakers to inspire and encourage you on your path towards fulfilment, integration and healing. Peter Mark Adams (speaking from Turkey) will explain the multi-dimensional nature of the healing field, then musician and healer Githa Ben-David (Denmark) will introduce you to her unique approach to vocal sound healing. After lunch, Prof Elvira Brattico will share her research on the neural mechanisms involved in the healing power of music. Then Phyllida Anam-Aire (Ireland) will give us the benefit of her decades of experience of lovingly accompanying people through their time of transition at death. Acoustics pioneer John Stuart Reid (UK/US) will share his research on the healing power of frequency medicine, and this will be followed by a live concert played by his American colleagues Anders Holte and Cacina Meadu, giving us an experience of The Sound of Healing Consciousness.

Sunday will begin with a talk by well-known Danish mystic and musician Lars Muhl on the healing light in the human heart, and this will be followed by session with singing philosopher and healer Chloë Goodchild on Sound Wisdom – Awakening the Energies of Love through the Music of your Soul. After lunch, Anna Maria Matzorinis will speak about the Therapeutic Effects of Music on Consciousness and the Brain with special reference to Alzheimer’s Disease. Then quantum biologist Dr Glen Rein (New York) will tell us about his ground-breaking research indicating that healers, when treating people, can cause measurable changes – which are recordable using specific types of spectroscopy with appropriate analysis of the frequency spectrum – in the DNA of the person being healed. Finally, we will be joined by harpist, mediaeval scholar and end-of-life palliative care specialist Therese Schroeder-Sheker (Oregon) who will share precious insights from her own spiritual journey using the key living symbols of rose, harp, lily and loom in an alchemical process involving the recovery of our original unity.

To complement this life enriching event, we invite you to join the pre-conference film screening of a recent award-winning film on Consciousness: The 1 Field, and subsequent panel discussion. This event will take place online on April 14.

Peter Mark Adams – The Power of the Healing Field

The greater field of consciousness is also the arena of our healing and spiritual evolution – one in which we are all implicated. Drawing on our own case files Peter will explore the multi-dimensional nature of this field whose healing potential suggests a far more expansive and uplifting vision of whom and what we are. This talk will help people identify the role of disruption in our extended time-line – ancestral, perinatal and past life – and the techniques available to address them. 

Githa Ben-David – Vocal Sound Healing with the Note from Heaven and Hung Song

Vocal sound scanning creates a bridge of communication between the singer and the receiver’s energy fields. This kind of vocal sound scanning works as well online as in physical presence, and will work even without the receiver hearing the sound. From my experience you can enter any part of the body’s anatomy – and with your focus add energy to a specific area with Hung Song, purify it and recreate the original healthy structure with mandala-like cymatic shapes through the expression of resonating over- and undertones. I and my students concentrate solely on surrendering to our intuition through listening to the signal of our vocal sound. We aim to keep our flutes pure, by maintaining a dedicated anatomical focus with total faith in the sound signal.

When a physical trauma is released by the vocal sound stimulation, emotional issues appear usually one or two days after the healing has happened. These psychological issues are treated by supporting the client in singing themselves free and changing the story of the trauma while they surrender to The Note from Heaven. This is what I will share with you. I am personally convinced that all this is due to the help of advanced beings in other dimensions. The method is, however, down to earth and might potentially be explained as a download of – and activation of photons. We are waiting for the science to explain this phenomenon.

Anna Maria Matziorinis – O Magnum Mysterium: Musical Ecstasy and the Therapeutic Effects of Music on Consciousness and the Brain

This talk will investigate the impact of music on the brain and the therapeutic effects of music, with a specific reference to its beneficial effects for neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. It will also explore the nature of ecstatic and sacred music and its effects on consciousness.

Phyllida Anam-Áire – The Path of Love in a Time of Transition: Watching with the Dying, Travelling with the Dead

When the old ones in Ireland spoke about death, they referred to the rituals that the Anam-Áire or Soul Carer offered the dying and dead. As a child in the late forties, I absorbed such ancient practices and later on, many years later in 1999, these sacred rites of passage presented themselves to my consciousness once more. Since then, I have worked and trained with Elisabeth Kübler Ross MD in U.S. and Europe. I have watched with many dying people, many bereaved families and have had the privilege to travel with souls after death. Very recently, on 1st January, 2023 I had the sacred privilege of watching with my brother as he died, and I still travel with his soul today. In my talk , I am honoured to share with you appropriate excerpts from these Irish Rituals once spoken in Gaelic language and offered only by the Anam-Áire. (Translated from the Gaelic language as Soul Carer.)

John Stuart Reid – Exploring the Healing Powers of Frequency Medicine

In 2002, Professor James Gimzewski, at UCLA, used an Atomic Force Microscope to sense the sounds emitted by the respiration of a yeast cell, a new field of science that he named, sonocytology. In John Stuart Reid’s presentation he will describe a series of experiments conducted in collaboration with Professor Sungchul Ji of Rutgers University, designed to explore the sounds emitted by cancer cells and healthy cells, analysing their cymatic imprints on water by Professor Ji’s Planckian Distribution Equation method. This research was published in the Water Journal.

The presentation will also include a description of a series of experiments in which a vial of whole human blood was decanted into two smaller vials, one being immersed in a musical environment, while the control vial was placed in a quiet environment, for a period of 20-minutes, followed by a red blood cell count by automatic cell counter. The surprising results showed a significant increase in the numbers of viable red blood cells in the music-immersed blood, in comparison with the numbers from the control vial, and most surprising was that popular music genres outshone the results from classical music. The regeneration mechanism was discovered to be based on an increase in oxygen binding to haemoglobin molecules. This research carries the potential to support hospital patients who are hypoxic due to a weak heart or poor respiration. Publication of this research will follow later this year.

Lars Muhl – Healing Light in the Human Heart

What is that Light?

How do we recognise it, activate it and experience it?

How can we live by it in everyday life?

How do we leave the world of questions and enter into the world of answers where the real spiritual life starts? When are we starting to take the reality of the ethereal reality seriously?

Danish Author, Musician and Mystic Lars Muhl will share the transformational healing teachings in his new book The Light Within a Human Heart. In his own signature way, he connects humour, story-telling, ancient Essene wisdom and practices, and he will be working with the group consciousness of the people present. We will connect to our core, the inner Light that is always present within us and is offering us all guidance, inspiration and shelter we need, once we ourselves connect to it and maintain that union in our everyday awareness. 

The book contains the teachings of the Divine Masculine and Feminine, represented by two Voices within the book, that both guide us through this outstanding and transformative journey we will experience through reading – Asaph, the One that only writes what pleases O, and Taxo Luma, the One that gives herself to Love. 

These Two have been emerging as inner voices in Lars’ spiritual practice, and are representing our Divine Union, that will manifest itself in our lives once we are ready to integrate all connected aspects of these principles.

Chloë Goodchild – Sound Wisdom: Awakening the Energies of Love through the Music of your Soul

The naked voice is our most untapped human resource…

There is increasing awareness of the profound impact that shamanic and ancient wisdom traditions have played in the evolution of sound medicine for the body mind and soul. There is also a growing contemporary interest in the transformative power of sound within the fields of science, psychology, religion, medicine and education. New research is also taking place in the relatively new discipline of neuromusicology (cognitive neuroscience of music) devoted to the measurement of real-time processes in the human brain while perceiving and producing sound. Chloë’s own unique method of ‘naked voice’ as both a spiritual practice & a vocal-art form is opening the way sound awakens a new perceptual field of self-awareness within spirituality and the new sciences.

The perennial wisdom traditions have known for centuries a truth that has been overlooked:  we each possess a built-in mechanism for spiritual awakening. What is it? The voice of your soul. Chloë Goodchild introduces dynamic vocal practices to liberate the intimate expression of who you really are, to harness the transforming power of your individual voice, expanding your capacity for Love.

Embark upon a unique pathway of vocal sound – activated by the Octave of Consciousness, and the Seven Sounds of Love – which provides a body-centred singing map interconnecting the vibrational energy centers from your head to your toes. They are sonic codes and tonal energies empowering you to embody, to explore, and to express your language of Love. Discover the key role that your soul voice plays in unlocking your intuitive heart, and your innate ‘sound intelligence’ to heal the body through the hidden sounds within you. The music of your soul awakens self-confidence in your true voice, liberating your capacity to engage in courageous, interconnected, and compassionate communication. 

You will discover new ways to collaborate with others, and to co-create a vocal journey – essential for these times – resourced from new frequencies of Love, non-judgemental listening, rigorous self-inquiry, discernment, intuitive, ’sound wisdom’ and harmonic resonance, from the inner to the international. 

The music of your soul empowers you to respond to the unique voice of your personal calling on Earth now. 

“Sound gives to human consciousness evidence of its existence, other words, the consciousness bears witness to its own voice, although it is the active part of consciousness itself which turns into sound. The knower becomes known to him or herself, in other words the consciousness bears witness to its own voice.” Hazrat Inayat Khan

“Chloë is one of the freest spirits I have ever seen on stage” – Juliet Stevenson

Prof Elvira Brattico: The Healing Power of Music: Scientific Evidence and Neural Mechanisms

In my talk I will illustrate the hard scientific evidence obtained with randomized controlled trials of the beneficial effects of music on cognitive and motor functions in neurological and psychiatric patients across the lifespan. The field of neurology-based music therapy will then be illustrated as an advancement of the traditional music therapy field.

Dr Glen Rein – Vibrational Healing and the Resonant Frequencies of DNA

Vibrational healing techniques are vaguely defined as those involving healers but rarely involve the use of specific vibrational frequencies. Such vibrational modes of intact cells and biomolecules have been measured using optical spectroscopy. Recently, vibrational spectroscopy has been used to measure resonance frequencies during wound healing and has been used to distinguish between normal and injured tissue. However, little is known about the vibrational frequencies emitted by healers or how they affect vibrational frequencies of tissues being treated by a healer. 

I will discuss my present study where both of these areas were studied using impedance spectroscopy, an electrical form of spectroscopy that can measure frequency signatures of humans, cells and molecules. The method involves applying a voltage to a biological system at different frequencies and measuring which frequencies produce a large spike in the induced current. Frequencies were also measured using a more direct electrical measurement technique called Resonance Frequency Analysis (FRA). In most experiments frequency signatures of human DNA in-vitro were measured before and after being treated by a healer. In some cases, frequencies emitted by a healer was measured. 

The results indicate that healers and various energy devices caused a change in the frequency signature of human DNA after being treated. In some cases, the strength of a given frequency was either increased or decreased compared to the untreated sample. In other cases, the frequency itself shifted up or down depending on the type of energy being used. The frequencies which change in response to healing occur in three different frequency ranges (bands) – low, medium and high frequencies. A strong healer will activate one or more frequencies in all three bands, whereas a man-made healing device will typically only affect frequencies in one band. There are specific DNA frequencies which appear to be activated by all healers. Listening to these frequencies during a healing session may facilitate the healing process in general or may only influence the well-known self-healing process DNA undergoes after being injured. I will discuss these results in terms of a healing model proposed by the author which focuses on the different layers of energy in the human biofield. 

Therese Schroeder-Sheker – Signatures of a Transfiguring Bow: Rose, Harp, Lily and Loom    

Using only six words to identify layers of healing that can move mountains, the Cistercian monk Thomas Merton startled the world with a singular prescription: Try to recover your fundamental unity.  Receiving this contemplative orientation to heart in an era of fragmentation generates a transfiguring fire.  Its warmth and light support the gradual transformation of personal lead to universal gold, and this metamorphosis can in turn prepare one for a life of service.    

Through the retrospective gaze of fifty years of work in end-of-life palliative medicine, medieval and modern music, and higher education, Therese will reflect on a luminous fabric that is formed only gradually and quietly.  Its substance is integrative, is the exact opposite of technique and reflects the legacy of mystical spirituality.  It can be embodied by artist, scientist, priest and parent. The work of the transfiguring fire is available to all today, in freedom, and its processes can be found in garden, library, and kitchen; at table, loom and at altar, in our birthing and in our dying, in the laboratory of the soul and in the streaming of the stars, wherever loving, knowing and sensing can be unified into harmonious coherence.
