Upcoming Tools For Peace Workshop

Sound Healing with Inspiring Messages

Sunday, June 14, 2026, 2-4 pm
Arts Building on the Nakashima campus in New Hope, PA
$75/$35 students, limited space

Carefully curated instruments and intentional meditations for healing from around the globe create a refuge for you to recharge in the beauty of Nakashima. Immersed in the frequencies of the music and mantric power of the language, you experience a deep calm in your mind, body and spirit.

The sounds gently guide the nervous system out of stress and into a parasympathetic state of rest and relaxation, allowing the mind to settle and the body to soften. Uplifted into an integral healed version of yourself, you are able to go forward in certitude, sincerity and sovereign authenticity.

George Nakashima has created a place of harmony and beauty. Come experience a remarkable fusion of space and sound.

Bring a blanket and pillow if you wish to lie on the floor.

Damon Brandt’s creative process has included music as a central part. Studying piano at the age of 9, he later became an award-winning performer playing at Town Hall in NYC. In college he studied flute with which he has maintained a dedicated practice ever since. While in Santa Fe, New Mexico he was introduced to the Native American flute by Indigenous musician Walking Star who became his teacher. His global travels as an art dealer have included ceremonial traditions where music plays an integral role. It has been an honor for Damon to incorporate the Native American flute into sound meditation, using its breath driven tones to support relaxation and inner stillness.
