Newsletter May 19
Dear friend
We hope this finds you healthy & happy! We wanted to let you know about upcoming Infinite Spirit Sounds events & to share what we’ve been up to lately.
Psychedelic Sound Journey 7th May
Psychedelic Sound Journey is an immersive & meditative sound healing experience. As you relax under a blanket, the sound waves will carry you on a journey deep within. We use a host of instruments to weave a tapestry of sound, in combination with guided meditation, to facilitate an enhanced state of consciousness.
The live sounds are created with a 38” Sun Gong, 38” Earth gong, shamanic drumming, singing bowls, hang-drum, flutes, harmonica, chimes, shruti box, overtone signing & medicine songs. We also incorporate samples from nature & work with a loop station to develop multi-layered interlinked loops of sound, to craft a journey which ebbs & flows through numerous atmospheric soundscapes.
Sound has been used in sacred ceremonies & shamanic rituals since ancient times and can effect and change our brainwaves, allowing mystical altered states to be induced. Just as psychedelic medicines can reveal what’s going on deep within ourselves, in Psychedelic Sound Journey we use sound combined with meditative techniques to enable participants to access their inner territory, where emotions, memory’s & visions are revealed.
“Phil & Jamie are two great facilitators that hold the space beautifully. They helped me to feel at ease and to let go. What a journey! These guys clearly have a deep knowledge of the divine space. I haven’t been to a sound journey as well considered as this one.” Luke
“From the gentleness of their spirits, the preciousness of the unique space they hold and the customised music and song I cannot recommend Infinite spirit Sounds highly enough.” Sam B
Psychedelic Yoga & Sound Meditation 21st May
Psychedelic Yoga: Yoga for the preparation, navigation & integration of the
psychedelic experience
The theme of this session is ‘The Psychedelic Experience of Ego Death’. In 1964 Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Richard Alpert (whose work initially focused on the research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs), co-authored ‘The Psychedelic Experience.’ Based on the ‘Tibetan Book of the Dead,’ it was intended to be used as a manual to navigate the levels of consciousness which can be explored during a psychedelic ceremony and in particular the experience of ego death. In this session we will explore how this work might be used today, to navigate our own experiences, both within psychedelic ceremonies and in our daily lives.
Alongside postures, breathing techniques and philosophy, there will be a guided meditation, drawing from the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
The session will conclude with a 40 minute sound journey, created with 38” Sun Gong, shamanic drums, Tibetan singing bowls, hang-drum, flute, harmonica, ocean drum, shanti chimes, shruti box, loop station, mantras, overtone singing & medicine songs.
“It was amazing! The best of its kind I had so far. I loved how they combined meditation, yoga, education, healing & sound in one. It was a journey. Well done guys!” Diana
“I started attending Psychedelic Yoga & Sound Meditation back in October 2017 and have not missed even one since. Each month they provide a unique meditation, which is very uplifting and I thoroughly enjoy. Phil & Jamie are not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable in what they do, but also super friendly and always give you heaps of positive vibes. Keep up the good work” Teresa
All-Night Psychedelic Gong Bath 7th June
All-Night Psychedelic Gong Bath is a unique sound healing event organized by three experienced sound healers, Jamie Richards (Infinite Spirit Sounds), Kat Bumbul (Sound Mysterium) & Francisco Amoscótegui (Toes to Crown), in association with The Psychedelic Society. This is an opportunity to enter a deep meditative & healing state of consciousness, as your guided by sound into a transcendental journey, throughout the night until sunrise.
We use various instruments including symphonic, planet & wind gongs, crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, shamanic drums, didgeridoo, shanti chimes & shruti boxes, combined with overtone singing, vocal toning & medicine songs, weaving a tapestry of sound to guide you on your journey within.
This event also includes a movement workshop at the beginning of the evening (details tbc soon) & a delicious organic vegetarian breakfast freshly prepared by Gaia Pulses in the morning.
“Incredible healing sound journey. What you together have created is truly remarkable. I was awake for all but 2 hour and felt every moment. Grateful for what you give to the Universe” Rikk
“Amazing experience, thank you to Kat, Francisco and Jamie for sharing your healing and magical music for the soul, what a blessing.” Aggie
“One of the best experiences of my life. A*****+++++” Ryan
Alongside our regular monthly sound journeys & yoga events at The Psychedelic Society, we were proud to be able to offer a sound journey in the well-being tent at the Marble Arch Extinction Rebellion site recently. With all the other great work and people sharing their gifts, it was wonderful to be able to contribute in a small way to that important movement. Here’s a couple of photos we took:
