Sample Presentations:

New Ways of Listening to the Heart, Mind and Spirit

"Incline Thine Ear" is the basis of meditation and prayer.   Don Campbell motivates audiences to learn new ways to listen, find connection and communicate the mysteries of being "At One" with the spirit, mind and Heart. The ear itself not only hears, but filters out the sounds around us. It balances our body and gives us the sense of space around us. By exploring the different parts of the ear, we gain insight into the impact of rhythm, melody and harmony. When these are stimulated, we develop optimal ways to listen.  

Don Campbell's “Super Listening™ Techniques” are used in schools, concert halls and spiritual groups throughout the world. He draws from his twenty books in education and health which have been translated into 27 languages, to share remarkable stories and ways in which people listen to themselves, others and God.

Audiences will never listen in the same way after learning and experiencing music with their new ears. Practical and informational, Don is a waterfall of inspiration that will open hearts with harmony.

Sound Nutrition, Improving the Health of Your Brain, Body and Heart

As musical director of Aesthetic Audio Systems, Don will share his experiences on how hospitals, medical offices and healthcare facilities are using music to reduce stress and provide inspiration for patients, staff and families around the country.  By using the same standards for medical communities, he educates audiences on how to improve the harmony of the office and home environment.

Sound can be stimulating, relaxing or crippling to the mind and body. Learn how to use the different parts of sound that are nutritious for daily routines.    Learn how to detect sounds that exhaust the mind and body.   Learn how to develop your own sonic schedule that can bring harmony, focus and inspiration to yourself, your family and colleagues. From Silence to Gospel music, from Mozart to Motown, a balanced diet of sonic caffeine, sonic sedatives and musical feasts will change the way we harmonize our lives. In this session, there will be fresh musical "take homes" for any hunger for a balanced musical meal in the future.

Bringing Harmony to Your Spiritual Practice

By using music, sound and the voice as a portal to prayer and meditation, your personal style of praise and reflection can be enhanced through the variety of experiences in this session. Don Campbell leads us into states of true silence and listening through the voice.    By feeling the bones in our heads vibrate differently, some of the most simple sounds can open the door to inner harmony.

From simple prayers to exalted songs of praise, the movement of breath and tone creates patterns for deep reflection, contemplation and devotion. Using music with "Centering Prayer" techniques can open many possibilities to enhance spiritual practices. Using exercises from Don's newest book, Sound Spirit, you will be able to take music into your daily life and spiritual practice.

Music of the Spheres: From the Big Bang to the Beauty of Silence 

The History of Sound is powerful. From a infant’s first cry to the last breath, we live in a world of vibration. Through a wonderful journey through sound and music, Don Campbell inspires audiences to listen to each other and the world. Through the visionary work of Dr. Alfred Tomatis, we can learn how to sense music through our bodies, bones and minds in ways to both motivate and relax ourselves.

Learn about the variety of flavors in music from the East and West that can awaken new ways to enjoy the power of sound and art of music. In this session, audiences with participate in movement, imagery and practical skills that will make them eager to use music from day to day for a happier, more harmonious life.

Music for Spiritual and Physical Health

Don Campbell has the unique talent of using music as a bridge to a variety of disciplines for better physical, mental and spiritual health. From the basic invocations of simple prayer to the prolonged states of meditation, he leads us into spiritual experiences that improve our ability to praise, pray and listen. By understanding how we can use ancient and modern music to ignite harmonious states of mind and release stress from the body, audiences will be inspired to increase their spiritual repertoire for better health in daily life.

entertainment. It is the vibration that speaks to the heart, soul and mind of us all. New ways of listening are ever present to bring us to alignment with the heavens and the earth."
