MetaMusic Course
MetaMusic Teachings
Become A Sound Alchemist

 

Exploring, learning, and practicing how to create resonant fields from which deep transformation, inner guidance, and healing arise.

​​

MetaMusic is the development of Laura Inserra's work around the universal, transformative, and healing power of sound. Meta means beyond, transcendent, in between. In this context music becomes experiential, personalized medicine, and metaphor of life - a tool for personal development, spiritual guidance, and integrated healing

MetaMusic is a tool for personal development, a compass to navigate life, and a healing method to support each other. During this course of studies and practices you will learn how to become a Sound Alchemist, while experiencing immersive sound journeys, sacred ceremonies, shamanic vision quests, and hands-on practices. You will also learn self-healing practices to use for yourself and in your work with others.

This comprehensive body of work is the compendium of her 30+ years of studies and initiations in ancient traditions and modern schools of wisdoms like like Alchemy, Vedic Traditions, Daoism, mythology, psychology, shamanism, folk music, alternative medicines, western science as well as the direct observation of nature.

She teaches this body of work in different stages: the Foundation Course, the Training  and the Modules. Let's explore more...

The Foundation Course Program

 

MetaMusic Course is divided into 3 Parts. These Parts are just the loose borders of a single territory but essential stages to its understanding and embodiment. As such they need to be considered, integrated, and embraced as a Unity. Here below a simple description of their areas and functional properties.

Part 1 (Source) is about discovering the nature of sound; ways in which sound becomes music; what makes music such a powerful tool for deep transformation and healing; the power carried in the intention; the alchemy between the instruments and the practitioner; what is needed to create sound journeys and sacred ceremonies; and more...

 

Part 2 (Self) is about discovering how to ‘tune’ to Yourself; how to show up; how to connect to Your ‘inner environment’; learning self-care practices; empowering your ‘voice’ print’; which tools can be useful to facilitate presence, personal transformation, and wellbeing; and more...

 

Part 3 (Self-Other) is about exploring how to extend and express yourself through your instruments; how to connect and move toward the Other; how to navigate the fields of the ‘invisible’ while being anchored in Yourself; how to trust the ‘larger orchestration’; how to become a Unity with the flow of manifestation; and more...

 

Inside the areas of these 3 Parts we will shine light on the below topics from different corners and perspectives. The order and the amount of topics delivered depends on each single cohort formed around its own Course. I always leave room for the group flow of wisdom to influence the information here provided - I call this working and life approach Structured Improvisation.

MetaMusic Foundation Course Required

MetaMusic Training is a series of 4-week programs of in depth learning, analyzing, and practicing sessions for those you have already taken the Foundation Course or any previous Training cycle. Every Training has a unique program and is an iteration of the previous ones, bringing new topics, tools, and discoveries. 

 

Every session will be recorded and shared with you, so that you can review and integrate the content at your pace.

 

As a continuation of the Foundation Course, the structure of the Training is based on the development of the 3 main pillars: 

  1. Learning (Source) - we will deepen the topics of the Foundation Course while learning new perspectives and dynamics.

  2. Analyzing (Self) - we will watch and analyze together Sound Journeys and learn new tools through guided listening and felt recognition.

  3. Practicing (Self-Other) - we will practice sound journeys, sacred ceremonies, guided meditations, shamanic journeys, self-care practices, and a variety of healing modalities.

 

In order to access different aspects of this body of work, we will engage with  3 archetypal characters - the Teacher, the Healer, and the Shaman. We will use the guidance of these pathways and modalities to create a holistic approach to personal transformation and collective healing, as well as strengthen our natural skills and acquired capabilities.

MetaMusic Training is offered online and open ONLY for those who have taken the Foundation Course. We will meet and interact face-to-face via Zoom. Each session will be recorded and shared with you, so that you can review and integrate the content at your pace.

FAQ

FAQ

A lot of you have asked me these questions so I thought I should share them with the rest of our community.

 

Q: Do I need to have a music instrument or to be a musician to take the MetaMusic Foundation Course?
A: No. You are an instrument and a sound alchemist already in your daily life. What is needed is your presence and the unique gifts you came into this life with. Just join us and, when you are ready, share that with the global community. Plus we will make instruments together... that's my favorite part of the Course ;o)

 

Q: What’s a virtual course?

A: It’s a great way to learn via pre-recorded teachings at your own pace from the comfort of your home! All you need is a computer, a mobile device, or a telephone. If there’s more than one person in your household taking the course, be sure to have headphones for each person during the experiential music journeys.

Q: Can you tell me about MetaMusic Network and the community around it?

A: MetaMusic means beyond music, or beyond what most often we have considered music to be. In this community, music becomes experiential, functional, a metaphor of life, and it carries inner guidance and deep transformative properties. For us Meta also means Multidisciplinary Education, Training, and Apprenticeship. The vision is to build a community with a common interest in ancient arts and schools of wisdoms like Alchemy, Vedic Traditions, Daoism, Mythology, Shamanism, Esotericism, Psychology, Science as well as the direct observation of Mother Nature. Our mission is to allow the human potential to flourish beyond any human condition or social restriction.

 

Q: Are there scholarships still available?​

A: Yes, there is the possibility to apply for a scholarships. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. I am committed to allow the human potential to flourish beyond any monetary restriction. If you’d like to apply for a scholarship, please fill out the online form at https://www.laurainserra.com/scholarship

"This course set me on a learning curve  working with sound, vibration and frequencies.  It has broadened my understanding of sound in its many forms and ways of presentation and opened me up to really feeling sound in my body, mind, emotions and spirit.  Laura's sound journeys were so different from anything I have previously experienced and in her space she  gently allows me to experience sound in an all encompassing way.....very expansive.

CHAMBERS OF AWE ~ Interview with Laura Inserra

Chambers of AWE ~ Acoustic Waves Emergence Using Music & Technology for Immersive & Transformative Experiences ​ Chambers of AWE (Acoustic Waves Emergence) are deep, immersive sound experiences created with ancient and modern acoustic instruments, augmented by cutting edge technology. Conceived and performed by Laura Inserra, they are a bridge between ancient technology (wisdom traditions and music) and modern technology (high tech and science). ​ Chambers of AWE combine recorded ambisonic sound architectures and live performances. Using the most advanced technology, Laura amplifies the instruments’ impact by entering the sound, augmenting it, and yet maintaining the integrity of the original source and its harmonics. ​ At the core of the project are sound sources made by rare acoustic instruments. Those sounds create immersive environments with a vast spectrum of frequencies which facilitate powerful transformational experiences. In these settings body and mind merge with the sound and shift to deeper Inner Landscapes Journeys, traveling beyond the field of cognitive perceptions. ​ It was premiered in 2018 in Prague during a large cryptocurrency conference, when Laura transformed for four days a forum hall into a decompression room, creating a sound and lighting reactive installation. Participants were entering an invisible but palpable 60 foot diameter sphere of sound created by an ambisonic system of 16 speakers and 4 subwoofers. Laura and her live set was in the center of the sphere with 8 mics, each one connected to 2 speakers, plus 2 mics connected to the whole sound system. This allowed her to map and create live sound architectures in addition to her pre-recorded tracks. The ongoing intertwined pre-recorded and live music created a striking immersive sound environment. In addition, she offered twice a day guided immersive sound experiences. ​ Visit the official website www.chambersofawe.com Staged world premiere at DevCon4 Oct. 30 - Nov. 2, 2018 ~ Prague Congress Center - Czech Republic ​ Devcon is the annual Ethereum conference for designers, developers, researchers and artists. The Ethereum Foundation hosts Devcon to educate and empower our community to build decentralized applications, and to bring Ethereum protocols, tools, and culture to the world. This is a conference for builders: designers, UX researchers, smart contract devs, blockchain researchers, client implementers, test engineers, infrastructure operators, community organizers, and even artists in the community.
