There is a thread that can be followed in the fabric of one’s life, reflects Susan Goldstone, “As I look back on all of the experiences that have brought me to the place I am today, I see patterns woven into the texture of my life, a life many would consider to be non-traditional.”

Kay L. Broyles has always been interested in healing. As a young child, she was awed by the testimonies of medical missionaries who changed the lives of others in foreign countries. As a young adult, she was fascinated by faith healings of spiritual healers such as Kathryn Kuhlman, Olga Worrall, and Edgar Casey. Kay reflects that her mother always wanted her to be a nurse. However, Kay could not stand the sight of blood and did not pursue nursing. However, her mother’s encouragement to become a nurse did inspire Kay to examine many aspects of health and healing. Kay graduated from college with a degree in psychology which expanded her interest in mind/body medicine.

“I’m very curious and I love exploring how and why things work,” Ling Chen explains, “but I came from an educational system that was very academic, and my training was very analytical, so I didn’t imagine I’d ever do this.” She’s talking about gravitating toward Acutonics, the applied use of sound vibration integrating East Asian Medicine, psychology, science, and the arts to promote health and well-being, and how it has changed her life – and her focus.

John Rosan (Tone) is a Level IV Student Practitioner of Acutonics. He has studied here at the Mothership and it has truly been a pleasure getting to know him. John and his wife Abby are based in Lakewood, Colorado where they offer private healing sessions, performances, workshops and retreats from their home office, and anywhere that sound happens around the globe and beyond!

Shealan Anderson recently spent twelve days with us here at the Mothership. She completed Acutonics Level I & II with Paul and Jude Ponton in Seattle and she completed her Level III & IV training at the Mothership in September of 2015. Shealan Anderson was at the Mothership for twelve days in March as a student intern, helping on the land, in the growing dome, making wine, and giving treatments as part of her required clinic hours. She also took on a huge project assembling almost 500 belted acuvators. She is indeed an intrepid traveler, adventurous, bold, daring and spirited, she helped us celebrate our 20th birthday and St. Patrick’s Day, too! It was a joy to have her here and we hope she will return as her can do attitude and warm spirit not only brightened our days, but contributed to our day-to-day operations in a really positive way.

Since taking their first Acutonics classes in 2003 Mary Elizabeth Wakefield (MEW) and MichelAngelo have been collaborators and huge supporters of our work with sound vibration in a clinical setting. Although based in New York they travel the world and are frequent presenters at conferences. In this contribution from MEW for the Acutonics Newsletter we catch up with some of their past and upcoming events

“There’s no way we would ever teach separately,” says Katie Mink, who, since she first came to Acutonics 14 years ago, has only ever learned it and taught it alongside her teaching partner Laurie Herron. “If I wasn’t teaching with Katie,” says Laurie in turn, “I wouldn’t teach it.”

Molly has completed the first four levels of Acutonics with Donna Carey and Ellen Franklin at the Mothership here in New Mexico. Molly loves the outdoors, the mountains, rivers and hot springs, which drew her to Big Sky Montana in 2009, to practice massage and take advantage of the natural world, exploring the Rocky Mountains and learning to ski. In 2012, Molly moved to Bozeman and started her own massage practice.

“Acutonics is more than what we do,” say Jude and Paul Ponton, “it’s who we are.”
