Concert of Celtic Medieval and Original Music
“I am Cynthia. For me, music is an art that connects me with the invincible world. Music is a way that can make audible the light designs of the high spheres. For me, creating music with high resonance sounds such as the ones from the harp, involve me in subtle and transparent atmospheres of floating and crystalline sounds and they tune me from the Earth’s core through the quartz crystals into the woods – initiatory sacred temple – into the aquatic world of oceanic consciousness, up to the most sublime ethereal kingdoms of angelical energies and celestial frequencies. It is my wish to share these experiences with the world.”

Workshop: The Healing Power of Rhythm
Creating rhythm is good for your physical and spiritual health…
Expressing yourself in a free way in an improvisation environment without judgment will enable you to reach strong spiritual connections. It’s primordial, basic. It’s within us.
These dynamics will take you to intern spaces little explored and in consequence help to awaken your powers of connection, intuition and clairvoyance. The activity of percussing simple and repetitively a drum or singing a vocal repetitive pattern, creates a subsonic kinesthetic vibration that affects the participants positively; contributes to the rhythmic alignment of our brain cells, our biological rhythms, vibratory synchronization and dynamic waves from both hemispheres.
