At the heart of this experience is Dr. Sarah Jane Perri, creator of Spinal Energetics - a pioneering approach that blends Eastern energetic traditions with Western scientific understanding, unlocking the body’s innate capacity for transformation. Dr. Sarah will guide participants through an immersive exploration of subtle energetic shifts, breath, and light touch, activating the spine’s natural intelligence and expanding the body’s energetic awareness. Joining her is a team of highly experienced Australian practitioners - Heidi Maree, Mish Bourke, Jesse Akkerman, and Pat Chirico, who will provide expert support throughout the event, ensuring a profound and deeply held experience.
 

This experience is elevated to a higher level by Lie Down & Listen, an immersive sonic journey curated by Christina McMaster. Christina is a pianist, composer and founder of Lie Down & Listen – a truly creative spirit fascinated by deep listening and sound. She has performed at numerous festivals U.K and worldwide, featured on BBC Radio 4, Radio 3, Classic FM. This event will feature Inner Temple, a composition inspired by the visionary work of Hildegard von Bingen, this performance weaves together live classical piano, ambient nature sounds, and electronic soundscapes by Tom Middleton, a world-renowned sound designer and composer whose work enhances deep relaxation, creativity, and heightened awareness. To further enrich the experience, sound therapist Michelle Cade (Mind Like Water) will guide the space with the resonant frequencies of Tibetan singing bowls. Known for her deeply integrative approach that combines sound, scent, and mindfulness, Michelle’s work enhances the somatic, energetic, and emotional dimensions of healing.

What is Spinal Energetics?

Spinal Energetics is a modality developed by Chiropractor and Counsellor Dr Sarah Jane. It is a practice that combines Eastern and Western thought, to interact with a person’s spine, nervous system and energetic field, to harness a person’s own innate wisdom to know and heal themselves.

​

Through light yet powerful touch (and often no touch), an organic flow of movement and sound begins and progresses to shift, unwind, discover and release tension, resistance, and stories that may have been stored in the body. The movements and sounds are natural and primordial, they are a response to the treatment and are driven by an individual's energy, intuition and instinct.

Join us for a powerful convergence of sound, energy, and embodied awareness, an experience designed to move you beyond the mind and into the intelligence of your body.

​

** Please kindly arrive at 7.45 am as we will be commencing at 8.00 am.

Meet Your Host: Christina McMaster

Classical pianist, sound healer and founder of Lie Down and Listen

“She is an incredibly sensitive intuitive player who brings out the mystery and beauty of these pieces”

Sarah Walker BBC Radio 3

​

“One of the most talked about concerts of our festival.” Alistair MacGowan, Artistic Director of Ludlow Piano Festival

 

Founder and Classical Pianist Christina McMaster noticed that it wasn't only the rituals of classical music concert halls that led to a disconnected listening experience, but in daily life, we are experiencing more disconnection than ever, leading to loneliness, anxiety, stress, sense of emptiness etc.

 

Lie down & Listen began after a chance meeting with Prof. Sir John Strang and a series of events at Kings College London to recreate the wellbeing benefits of a hallucinogenic experience without hallucinogenics- but simply using a certain combination of music in a lying down concert experience as they did in the 1960’s in downtown New York loft apartments where music of Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Steve Reich - also known as the New York Hypnotic School. After training in sound healing, Christina then evolved the meditation, sound healing and lying down concert experience of today which creates space for deep relaxation and for listeners to reconnect within.
