Elixir Sound Journey: Death and Rebirth

Dr. Miles Neale + Phil Jacobs

Friday, July 28, 2023
6:00 PM–7:30 PM

Transition into the weekend with a meditative sound journey experience that will help deepen our relationship with, and acceptance of, the states in-between. Led by Buddhist psychotherapist Dr. Miles Neale and sound master Phil Jacobs, the Elixir Sound Journey: Death and Rebirth offers a psychedelic journey without substances to catapult our collective evolution.

Phil Jacobs uses voice and crystal bowls to stimulate brain integration and an altered state of consciousness, while Dr. Miles Neale soul sculpts through visual imagery, mythopoetics, and mantra based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Joseph Campbell’s heroic journey, and Carl Jung’s shadow-work.

Join us for this experiential companion to Dr. Miles Neale’s forthcoming book Return with Elixir. Master the death process, enter into the sublime liminality of self-transformation, and rehearse rebirth as an altruistic avatar to shape-shift the planet.

There will be a pre-program tour of Death Is Not the End on the sixth floor at 5:15 PM.
