Under the motto “Transform your life with sound”, a very special sound congress will take place at the Stadthalle Gersfeld/Rhön and online from March 1–3, 2024. Peter Hess, who developed sound massage 40 years ago, will give insights into his new concept of “sound transformation” by accompanying you through the congress days with wonderful sound meditations from this concept.
Further inspiration on this topic is offered by the opening lecture by consciousness researcher Prof. Dr. Thilo Hinterberger: Sound transformation, a sensory and scientific look at the mysterious power of sounds.
And you can experience sound transformation in a very practical way in the workshop of the same name with Peter Hess and Ulrich Krause. Drawing on his own life story, the great sound pioneer will show how just 5 minutes of sound a day can help you achieve more mindfulness, creativity and resilience. In the workshop, you will take the first of a total of seven stages yourself and learn sound exercises for your daily sound practice. As the “icing on the cake”, this workshop includes two free follow-up sessions online via Zoom so that you can continue along the path of sound transformation together.
