MMW Talks: Sound Healing and Music Therapy
A free talk on the how music can relax us in this crazy fact-paced world.
Overview
If the countless parties and festivities of Melbourne Music Week are staring to take their toll, this talk presented by Real Life could be the perfect cure. It's a free panel discussion about how sound and music can be used to improve wellbeing.
The key speaker is music therapy expert Dr Emma O'Brien, who was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2017 for her work in the field. The panel concludes as you can imagine with some music healing — in the form of a 'sound bath' from gong practitioner Mona Ruijs. Even if a sound bath doesn't strike you as your sort of thing, it'll no doubt be a mindful way to end your week.
