Presentations, Workshops, & Seminars

This introductory workshop presents multiple • entertrainment experiences with healing modalities at different vibratory levels integrated into an entertaining experience of sound, art and movement. Sound healing with sacred instruments combined with essential principles of mind/body medicine provides powerful self healing skills. Traditional Tibetan polyphonic gongs, temple horns, and conch shells will be used to invoke spiritual awareness. Entertainment that heals, inspires and restores our natural spiritual activism is an essential component of any wellness maintenance practice.

• entertainment, amusement -- a diversion that holds the attention
  entrainment--the tendency for your brain to synchronize the waves it generates with a rhythm.
  entertrainment is entertainment that heals through entrainment

Learning objectives for this introductory workshop include:

1. Learn the mind/body interactive that integrates eye movement processing derived from "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing" (EMDR), a powerful psychotherapy modality, with a yoga based exercise routine for highly effective pain, tension and stress relief.
2. Learn leading edge skills for changing unhealthy addictions and desires into healthy habits for effective elimination of lifestyle illnesses such as essential hypertension, chronic pain, obesity and stress.
3. Learn to integrate multiple modalities of healing and transformation into your daily practice.
4. Learn to make healing entertainment. Making such experiences more attractive encourages active daily participation.

A two hour concert with traditional healing instruments, A Calling of Angels with the Sounds of Sacred Gongs is a truly unique musical experience. Participants typically bring pillows, mats and bedrolls to lay on with eyes closed as they are sent on extraordinary inward journeys of healing and enlightenment. Biofeedback research with electroencephalographic (EEG) measurement and heart monitors show that the music of these gongs has a powerful beneficial effect on the brain and heart. Richard is a modern master of the gongs, playing them in hospitals and clinics since 1987.

This powerful transformational workshop integrates the ancient practice of firewalking with modern principles of mind science to provide participants with a positive life changing experience like no other. Since 1987 Richard has taught thousands of people how to overcome debilitating fears and inhibitions using the firewalk as a focal point. Just allowing oneself the possibility of walking is enough to forever change how fears and anxieties exert their control over decision making and goal setting. This breakthrough experience has been a powerful team builder for many corporations and organizations.

The Heart of Healing
Integrating Eastern Wisdom and Western Science for Maintaining Wellness

Modern research has identified stress and our reactions to stressors as a major cause and contributor to many of the life threatening illnesses that plague modern man. Simple one size fits all stress management programs are not effective or efficient for the great majority of people. The Heart of Healing integrates research driven strategies with traditional mind/body/disciplines flexible enough for even the busiest executives. This leading edge program is life transforming and life saving.

Preparing for surgery and post surgical healing is challenging for everyone involved, healthcare professionals as well as patients and patient families. Research has shown that patients with well-developed imagery and body/mind communication skills can be treated with more subtle ways and less invasive techniques. When healthcare professionals integrate knowledge and skills of the psychophysiology of body/mind healing, it not only facilitates the healing process of patients, it also helps maintain a balanced approach in how the professional manages their own healing and stress management. Presenting new skills for tapping into the power of the human spirit, focusing on the use of imagery, self-hypnosis, music and deep relaxation, this session awakens the inner healer that is within each of us.
