Retreat: Sacred Music of the Abrahamic Faiths for Resilience and Soothing Uncertainty
2022-06-02 - 2022-06-06 | CA
Join Yuval Ron for an intimate blissful deep spiritual exploration.

Experience introspective and ecstatic practices of three ancient spiritual paths: Kabbalistic-Judaism, Early Contemplative Christianity and Sufi-Islam. This unique experiential seminar will journey deep into sacred music chanting, movement, and spiritual mindfulness practices, drawing from the hidden wisdom of the traditions of the Near East.

These practices result in heart opening, increased compassion, deepening of inner explorations, and have been shown scientifically to impact the structure and function of the brain in ways that enhance memory, cognition and awareness. These practices also promote healing by lowering stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. The activities are based on Yuval Ron’s work with master spiritual teachers of the Near East and neuroscientists of the West.

Through this incredible journey to your inner world, you will have a rare perspective into the worlds of mystic Sufi leaders, Kabbalistic Rabbis, leading Neuroscientists and scholars of the mysticism of Christianity. Join Yuval Ron for an intimate blissful deep spiritual exploration, in which he presents some of the most ancient prayers of the three Abrahamic traditions of the Middle East, discusses how these were constructed, the inter-relationship and mutual influences they share, and the message of unity and peace which his research brings forth.

This seminar is experiential, and will NOT be lecture-based. Its focus is to provide a deep spiritual experience through walking meditation, sacred movement from Hebrew, Christian and Sufi sources, ecstatic chanting meditations, storytelling, poetry, and live Oud music by Yuval Ron.

You’ll explore sound through various lenses, theories, and modalities, engaging in both intellectual study and embodied experiences. You’ll advance in one of the fastest-growing, most-exciting new professions . Sound healing is popular in many sites where healing takes place, including yoga studios, festivals, and hospitals — and is a great way to harness your love of music for a livelihood.

CIHS presents : Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science : Explorations in Sound Healing
2022-09-14 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
CIHS presents:
Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science :
Explorations in Sound Healing
with Dr. Rick Gold and Yuval Ron.

A part of the CIHS 30-Year Anniversary Series:

Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science: Explorations in Sound Healing with Dr. Rick Gold and Yuval Ron

The therapeutic utilization of sound and music, one of the oldest if not the oldest healing modalities on the planet, in recent years has become one of the most sought after and researched techniques of our time.
The use of sound as a healing technique precedes recorded human history.
The use of sound as a healing technique and in spiritual rituals is mentioned in the oldest texts of many traditions from across the globe.
The first known use of music as a healing force comes from the Australian Aborigines who are known to have used the didgeridoo as a healing tool for more than 40,000 years.
In recent years, the therapeutic field of Sound Healing has gained significant acceptance by modern medicine and science due to its effective applications in studies and clinical practice.
With the development of fMRi (functional magnetic resonance imagery) in 1991, the science of sound healing has progressed dramatically from a research/scientific perspective. The fMRi allows us to observe brain functions in real time.
fMRI detects brain activity by measuring the changes in both the amount of oxygen in the blood and the amount of blood flow. This measurement is known as blood-oxygen-level-dependent activity. This allows scientists to determine the influence of varied stimuli on brain activity: the precise location of brain activity and frequency.

This presentation will explore the use of sound in the healing and meditative traditions of China and India. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in some activities.
In addition, current research will be presented and discussed.
Of special interest will be emerging research in the field of neuroscience and the treating of cognitive function.
Dr. Gold and Yuval will also share the groundbreaking work of his production company, Metta Mindfulness Music in the realm of plant music.

About the Concert:
Last February, KI and Beth Shir Shalom welcomed two Afghan families hoping to restart their lives here in America. One year later, both families have truly begun their American story. Come celebrate the tremendous work and love our Welcome Circles poured into this last year, and what an amazing success the program has been! Khwaja Ehrari, the father of one of these Afghan families, will perform for us at KI together with world renowned musician, Yuval Ron. We will also be honoring the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, and attorneys Daliah Setareh (LAFLA) and Howard Shapiro (Mitchell Silberberg and Knupp) for their work on behalf of the families.
KI’s Connection to Mr. Ehrari:
Mr. Ehrari arrived only a few short months ago, with his wife and teenage son from Turkey, where he has been living since escaping Afghanistan, as it is no longer safe to make a living as a musician there. KI learned about Mr. Ehrari from his adult daughter who is one of the Afghan evacuees being assisted by KI in partnership with Beth Shir Shalom, through their work with HIAS’s Welcome Circle program for refugee resettlement. With assistance from the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and pro bono attorneys, he was able to travel to and perform in the United States, where he is able to do so freely and safely.
PROGRAM UPDATE: Renowned Musician Yuval Ron to Join Khaja Ehrari on May 21!
Yuval Ron, internationally renowned world music artist, composer and producer, will be performing together with Afghan musician Khwaja Ehrari.
Yuval creates unique original film scores, music for contemporary dance, theater, museums, new media, medical and healing modalities. He performs, tours and records with his ethnic music and dance group the Yuval Ron Ensemble. Under his leadership, the the Yuval Ron Ensemble, has been actively involved in creating musical bridges between people of the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths and has been featured on CNN, National Geographic, and in the international press and media, performing at The United Nations International Day of Peace Concert in 2019.

Join master teacher and award winning composer Yuval Ron as he pairs cutting-edge scientific discoveries from the field of neuroscience with sacred teachings on sound and music.
The therapeutic effect that music has on the brain’s structure has become increasingly apparent as the medical community discovers what the ancient wisdom traditions have known for centuries—sacred sound, music, and practices have the power to alter the way the brain works, creating profound benefits to both physical and mental health.
In this program, Yuval Ron will give a fascinating and far-reaching perspective on how music impacts our brain and well-being. Yuval will share his experience and knowledge of healing sound and music practices from Nada Yoga, Ayurveda, Sufism, Kabbalah, Early Christianity, Chinese Medicine expanding on the neurobiological as well as spiritual dimensions of each.
Every class will include musical demonstrations, along with relevant theory and research. These practices in sacred sound and music will elevate your personal healing—and have the potential to enhance and inform the modalities you use to help heal others.
