April 19
6:30-8:30pm
Seattle’s Dr. Fred Russo will discuss the principles of healing and share his clinical approach of using both traditional science and mind-body-spirit medicine. He additionally will explain how energy channels work in the body and how musical vibrations therefore can serve as a tool for unlocking stuck energetic pathways – leading to physical transformation. Following this presentation and a brief Q&A session, Donatella will share the dramatic story of how she healed her own chronic health issues, as well as those of her clients worldwide, through music. She then will begin the experiential part of the event, facilitating a Moltisanti Soul Singing program, which combines guided meditation with operatic vocalization and crystal singing bowls. At the end of this event, both facilitators will answer audience questions. Bastyr Center for Natural Health is at 3670 Stone Way N, Seattle, WA 98103.
