Shaping the Future of Healing
WELCOME This ancient "Flower of Life" symbol has been chosen for our conference, for its use in cultures around the world, it's representation of the fundamental forms of space and time, and it's visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings.
Friends and Colleagues, Welcome to "Shaping the Future of Healing" - a visionary conference for wellness practitioners, which aims to catalyze the talent, relationships, and resources within the healing arts community to improve our individual and collective impact in the communities we serve. Thank you for taking the time and energy to be here, to demonstrate collective responsiveness to issues and opportunities, strive for common ground, and improve our ability to create meaningful, lasting change as wellness practitioners. Do consider the conference a launch pad for our community to take collective action. Postconference, we will be organizing action groups to coordinate responses around key priorities identified over the weekend. We look forward to building that momentum and working with you in the months to come! In Gratutude,

WENDALYN BARTLEY e: sounddreaming@gmail.com w: serpentmysteries.com
Wendalyn Bartley is a composer, sonic oracle, creative vocal coach and sound energy practitioner living in Toronto. Â For over thirty years she has pursued an artistic practice dedicated to an awakening of the voice of the feminine, the earth, and a reunited humanity. Her offerings are built upon the core belief that the power of sound and vibration through the human voice provides a powerful pathway to embodiment that opens us to our inherent wisdom, while giving us a grounded and expressive freedom so fundamental to healthy relationships, both personally, collectively and our relationship to nature. She brings her deep listening skills, creativity and knowledge of the voice into her sound energy practice, offering workshops, sound circles, group rituals, and individual embodied voice sessions. The music on her CD entitled "Sound Dreaming: Oracle Songs from Ancient Ritual Spaces" was created from vocal improvisations made in Malta and Crete at various sacred sites that have preserved and held the wisdom of the sacred feminine.
