For students that are interested in Sound Therapy through the use of indigenous instruments; 9ways is the premiere learning
experience. We feature programs on many of the well known instruments and a few that many have never heard of or knew existed.
We offer the most extensive program with Singing Bowls that exists in the world today, and we offer programs with Bells, Gongs,
Nagani Bells (aka tingshas), Incan Huaca Silbadors, and a host of others that can feature everything from Conch Shells, Asmat
Fue, Didjeridu, to the Porotiti or Human Voice. 9ways is like a museum dedicated to Sacred Sound. Students find that our programs
extend far beyond the confines of what is offered by others around the country. The disregard to traditional studies in favor
of non-traditional ones, is a careless exercise that robs the student of critical information that formulates their experience
and learning. Without deep penetration there is no awareness, without awareness, there is no knowledge, knowledge without
experience, does not sharpen the sword of wisdom.
The Academia is the sole presenter of the Harmonic Therapy Practicum, which teaches students how to use harmonics in conjunction
with indigenous instruments to facilitate psycho-acoustical experiences.
9ways also presents a viable and insightful expose on shamanism that is quite out of the box, compared to other shamanic
programs presented by others. We refer to these studies as indigenous science, and present this view in an engaging and understandable
way, that not only educates, but elevates. Being respectful to the indigenous cultures of the world, and on the same hand,
offering experience as an entry point to better grasp the subject under review, facilitates a better conscious appreciation
of what has been handed down through history to us. Philosophy, and understanding the use of ritual and ceremony are important
touchstones in creating a better appreciation of the world and the peoples around us. Global Indigenous Shamanic Studies:
an exploration of ancestral insights and practices is the curriculum, Between 2 Worlds is the starting point.
