Creations Heartbeat aims to bring people a unique, elemental and shamanic approach to sound healing. The intention of this journey is to enter from a place of gratitude and to help the participants connect with the pulse of their own beating heart as well as the heartbeat of all that is in this world. With the presence of gratitude for our own unique likeness we can work towards coming to a place of appreciation for all life seen and unseen. To aid in this journey participants will be guided by the sounds of breath, bells, rattles, natural items (which may include leaves, bones, stones and wood), throat singing and the frame drum.

About the Host

Chris Welsh is a multi-instrumentalist and founder of the musical project Sun and Moon Dance specializing in medicinal and nordic folk music. In 2016 he experienced the death of someone close to him, and started writing music as a way to transmute the pain and grief he was feeling into something beautiful. He realized the music was affecting people in a profound way and the focus on medicinal music became a prominent part of his life. He started to study sacred sounds from around the world and different shamanic tools to incorporate into the music.

The animistic spirit carried through his music was taught to him through many years spent tending the land and to animals in the mountains of Western NC. His purpose became a life of service to the living and the dying and to use music as a tool to bring healing to those who need it.
