Next ReikiSound class to be held late Fall/early winter 2021 depending on covid-19 guidelines. 

You need not be a reiki practitioner to take this class, but you must have received reiki and be familiar with energy healing.  However, priority is given to reiki practitioners when attendance is limited. This is for any level reiki practitioner. Venues determine whether or not masks and other covid guidelines will be followed.  We do want to use caution in spite of the discrepancies and ongoing changes in cdc, state health agencies  and medical scientists' findings.  

Second Sunday Sound Meditations are held at Soundwise Health Studio in Lancaster, Pa. every month.  from 7:00pm to 8:30pm usually on the second Sunday of the month.  We use the gentle sounds of singing bowls, gongs, crystal tuning forks and pyramids, sansula, indigenous percussion and frame drums, chimes, shruti box, the voice and throughout the year have special feature sound artists using didgeridoo, sitar, hand pan and tone drum, harmonium, kalimba, harp, flute, guitar, or whatever comes our way! Light weaving and reiki are also part of these meditations.  We have limited attendance and observe other precautions due to covid, so tickets are limited.  As CDC and state guidelines are ever-changing we will continue to respect the health and beliefs of others, inclusive of everyone. 

 Leading the meditations is Lana Ryder, trained and experienced sound therapist of 20 years, musician, holistic practitioner, licensed massage therapist, reiki master-teacher and certified holistic health coach with 50 years experience in using sound, voice and music for healing, inspiration and transformation both personally and in community.  Lana offers her trained associates, students and mentorees the opportunity to experience assisting in the meditations. Many have gone forward in feeling confident to offer their own group meditations.

Next Group Sound Meditation Immersion (sometimes called "sound bath" but is really much more than that) is Aug. 8  Our beautiful sanctuary of sound is peaceful, uplifting and sometimes people find it to be healing in a number of ways. The deep relaxation certainly supports our immune systems.  Tickets are available through Eventbrite: Sound Meditation, The Journey Within. We do start on time.  Plenty of parking.

Learn how to begin using sound, voice and music in the healing arts. This  40 hour course is designed to introduce hands-on experience for holistic practitioners such as massage and energy therapists, yoga instructors, acupuncturists and hospice workers to begin using crystal and metal bowls, gongs, chimes, tuning forks, percussion, voice and other instruments. 

Next class begins December 2021 depending on covid-19 impact and guidelines. Individual private classes are ongoing on a limited basis. Please contact Lana Ryder for more detailed information at soundwisehealth@aol.com. Sound Therapy is a vast topic. This 44 hour course introduces you to the basic science, principles and suggested protocols for working with a number of instruments. Please understand that a weekend class does not make you a sound therapist. There is much more to it and we will get you started on the right path so that you have enough information to help you decide in which direction or what specific instruments you wish to pursue in more depth. A certificate of completion is given when you have met all requirements, including prerequisite reading, videos and practicum.

Limited private students accepted for the 28 hour class with 10 hour practicum, $550 per student. This class is scheduled over 2-3 months.  Private instruction takes place in the Soundwise Health Studio in Lancaster.  Schedule is determined by availability of student and instructor,  determined by their individual needs.

Empowering women and men through toning, improvisational light language, humming and other vocal soundings. The individual voice joined with others creates a vocal communion that has been described by participants as inspiring, healing, uplifting and personally revealing and insightful.  "It felt like I was being called home, and I was so moved I didn't want circle to end. That's why I had tears of joy. Thank you for this profound experience." 

 Frequencies and vibrations are not just about what we listen to.  They are about everything, including what we choose to eat.  A graduate of The Integrative Institute of Nutrition, Sound and Energy Practitioner Lana Ryder shares some tips on choosing more healthy vibe food.   Lana's first studies in holistic medicine and natural living lifestyles began with an herbal medicine class at The Rosemary House in Mechanicsburg, Pa way back in 1969. Her education in holistic health has been ongoing ever since.  

8 hour holistic business class taught by Lana Ryder, former business course instructor at two area massage schools.  Lana wrote the 23 hour business curriculum for these schools based on her experience as founder and director of a successful holistic healing center of 11 years and experience and training as a television and radio account executive and medical practice manager. Lana also appreciates Sacred Economics as taught and practiced by author Charles Eisenstein.
