MetaMusic ~ Creating resonant fields from which deep transformation and inner guidance arise. Transformative Technology Conference November 13th, 2020 MetaMusic is the development of Laura Inserra’s work around the universal, transformative, and healing power of sound. Meta means beyond, transcendent. In this context music becomes experiential - a tool for self-inquiry, inner guidance, and deep transformation. MetaMusic Journeys are immersive sound experiences into enchanted soundscapes and an invitation to listen with your whole body to your inner visions, feelings, and states of awareness. During these sessions, Laura plays acoustic instruments from around the globe and combines them with wisdom practices to facilitate wellbeing and self-exploration. Her music speaks a universal language, telling stories without words. As a listener, you become the creator of your own experience, breaking the boundaries of your senses and connecting to your inner guidance. For the best immersive experience, headphones or a good sound system are highly recommended. Enjoy your explorations and discoveries... More info at https://www.laurainserra.com
