Somatic Resonance

Somatic Resonance Somatic Resonance is a collaborative project combining group reiki facilitated by Nanse Kawashima with music by Bryce Hackford. All materials have their resonant frequencies. Bryce Hackford intuitively tunes to the resonant frequencies of human body in meditated performance and observation. These tones generally center lower thresholds of human hearing and can be psychoactive. A viscous music, not unlike cuddling up to a giant cat; you are the glass of water on the dashboard. Reiki is a well-known form of energy healing with origins in Japan, where it was founded by Mikao Usui in 1922. As a Reiki practitioner, Nanse Kawashima works with universal life force energy while engaging with clients, employing a gentle, light touch of the hands on various energy centers throughout the body. Results can vary significantly; clients often report experiencing a sense of groundedness, inner peace and comforting feeling of coming home to their true self; senses of realignment, recentering and expansiveness. This therapeutic practice is considered beneficial for various imbalances and discomforts in body, mind and spirit. Kawashima and Hackford view their respective practices as complementary, synergistically blending sound and energy vibrations. When the two resonances merge, they foster a unique sensorial experience, allowing people to drift into relaxation or deepen their bodily awareness. Please bring your own yoga mat, blanket, etc for your comfort while lying on the floor for the duration of this event.
