New Year’s Meditation & Cello Sound Healing
Relax and renew at the Trillium Center in Potsdam.
Begin with a 15-minute guided meditation designed to inspire renewal, followed by a 40-minute cello sound healing session. Let the soothing tones of the cello wash over you, bringing deep relaxation and harmony. Yoga mats and blankets are provided for your comfort.
Cello sound healing is a therapeutic immersion, akin to a sound bath, where the cello’s voice-like frequencies resonate deeply with the listener, fostering a sense of connection and profound peacefulness. Alisa crafts each session to create a soothing soundscape using octaves, trills, and pentatonic scales, along with harmonics, sustained drones, and the gentle resolution of dissonance. These techniques, combined with the cello’s rich, familiar tones, release emotional tension and encourage balance, clarity, and deep relaxation, allowing participants to reconnect with an inner sense of calm and serenity.
With support from the Maxine M. Quigg Women in Business Fund, Alisa trained with Elizabeth Byrd, a pioneer in cello sound therapy. She has a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. In addition to her psychotherapy practice in Potsdam, she leads Melodic Minds: Celebrating Neurodiversity with Music.
Alisa performs with several ensembles, including the Northern Lights Orchestra and the St Lawrence University Orchestra, and studies classical cello under Christian Hosmer.
