Sacred Sound Salutarist, is a creative artist with more than
twenty-five years of experience in a wide variety of bodywork.
Her lifelong commitment to metaphysics, both as a student and
a teacher, has empowered her gifts and talents. Guided by angelic
realms, and the essence of Kuan Yin, and the energy and presence
of the Hathors, she conducts workshops on "Sound Awareness:
Becoming A Conscious Sound Shaper", and "The Creative You",
as well as classes on Intention, Visualization and Inner Alchemy.
A world traveler and lecturer, she is passionate about sharing
the incredible wonders of the "Sacred Sounds". Peggy blends
her gift as a Clairsentient, with her impressive skills, experience,
intention, and her extensive knowledge of Vibrational Sacred
Sounds, Intuitive Massage, and Reflexology, to touch and heal
the deepest areas of ourselves. She is the medium for the harmonic
vibrational energy, generating tones through her voice, dissipating
blockages to allow resurgence of the life force. Peggy joined
with several friends, and recorded her powerful sounds in the
Sound Column at the Exploratorium in San Francisco on January
20, 2000 (the full moon eclipse.) Her CD can be purchased through

Sponsors
The Healing Music Organization provides
information, resources, tools and a forum for communication
for people interested in the healing power of music and sound.
The vision of the organization is to serve as a bridge between
the worlds of spirituality and medicine by honoring the value
of both modalities. We support the concept of miracles in healing
when the spirit and body learn to harmonize together and resonate
with the vast energy of the universe. The Healing Music Organization
supports the concepts of entrainment, harmonics and resonance
in serving a vital role in bringing one's body, mind and emotions
into alignment with their spiritual essence. This alignment
allows the opportunity for experiencing deep healing, a sense
of lasting wholeness and continued wellness. The Healing Music
Organization furthers the work of visionaries, researchers,
scholars, artists, historians, healers, and those seeking healing
as we move into a new paradigm.
Dove

The foundation is proud to co-sponsor the first International

and general dissemination of this information for the benefit
of all.
The
Vision for the International Sound Symposium:
Peggy Black was the one who first knew that the Symposium was
to be. This is the story of how the Symposium idea came to Peggy.
When Spirit gave me the gift of ‘Sacred Sounds’ little did
I realize that my life was embarking upon a wondrous and profound
journey. Once I surrendered to Spirit, my manager and marketing
director, everything unfolded with such ease and grace. I
have an affirmation I say each day "Divine Spirit, send those
to me today that I can serve by being who I am." I know that
each client has been sent by Spirit, each interview, each
opportunity to travel, teach or share are all arranged by
Spirit. The stories are rich and the ways in which Spirit
creates the events always amazes me.
In 2000, I was privileged and honored to be able to attend
four Tom Kenyon events. I traveled to Kauai, Hawaii, for the
"Alchemy of the Sacred Four Elements" In May " The Holy Grail"
in Sedona, Arizona , "Architects of the New Earth" in June
in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the Sound Healers Training
in Issaquah, Washington in August, 2000. It was upon my return
from the Sound Healers training, that Spirit gave me my next
assignment. I was asked to create a sound symposium. I said,
"No, I don’t think so; I’m too busy right now." Several days
passed when again I received the message to create a sound
symposium. Again I declined saying, "Please find another to
do this, because it is too big a project, I don’t want the
responsibility." Several more days passed, and I again received
the message rather firmly. "Create a sound symposium." This
time I replied, "OK, however I will certainly need assistance."
I thought that I would put together a small, one day, local
event here in Santa Cruz. I called my friend, Randy Masters,
to share what I was planning, and he gave me the name of Dr.
Karl Maret. I had also connected with this delightful woman,
Amrita, who did sound work and had created an incredible website
on sound healing, so I asked her to join us in our first planning
meeting.
Little did I know what Spirit had in mind. Oh my, by the time
we had finished the meeting, this project had become an "International
Sound Symposium", a four-day intensive, with four keynote
speakers, two pre- and two post-intensive workshops, eight
workshop presenters, and plans for an incredible healing concert.
This was going to be BIG. I will say that Spirit has honored
us fully with total assistance. The grace and synchronicities
that surround everything we have done in creating this event
has been amazing. It is a flow. It is perfection manifesting.
