This is a process which uses vocal and instrumental expression for the purpose of enhancing wellness. It is the skillful use of sound in musical elements to promote, maintain and restore mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.

The participants involved do not need to be familiar with musical theories or know how to play instruments. This is an excellent modality to improve coordination, self awareness, communication and increase creative thinking.

Sound is everywhere and creates a stage of absorption. As human beings we become preoccupied with sounds that we hear. All sounds verbal or non verbal affects our state of being. At the SanLyn Wellness Centre, team members are focused on using sound in a positive way to reduce stress, assist in grief/bereavement work, improve concentration, provide tools for letting go of unhealthy habits, increase self-esteem, confidence, support expression and emotional release.

The SanLyn Wellness Centre used a diverse array of ethnic musical instruments such as; didgeridoos, Buffalo & African drums as well as flutes, shakers and various string instruments.
