On February 14th, World Sound Healing Day 2024 We Play Well Together hosted an online event, marking the 22nd annual gathering.

This event led by Joule L'Adara and Martina Gläser-Böhme and featuring feeltone founder Ingo Böhme, bridged English and German-speaking communities in a bid to connect through sound across distances and languages.

The event, shared a sweet moment by Ingo Böhme's surprise Valentine's Rose to Martina Gläser-Böhme, offered participants an interactive experience with the founders of feeltone instruments. Attendees were encouraged to engage with their instruments or voices, fostering a deep sense of community and shared healing intentions.

In March, coinciding with the Spring Equinox, Susan Maule, a seasoned practitioner and friend of WE PLAY WELL TOGETHER, led the Monochord Monday Meetup.

She showcased the MonChair by feeltone, integrating it with instruments like the C# Hokema Sansula, Crystal Singing Bowls, and a Native American-style flute to create harmonious soundscapes. Susan demonstrated the MonChair's use in group settings, allowing participants to experience the enveloping sounds while seated in the chair, surrounded by others in a ceremonial rotation. She combined the MonChair's vibrations with the Zaphir "Sunray" Chime in C#, a C# tuned Sansula, and other selected instruments, offering a layered auditory experience.

This session exemplified the collaborative spirit of "We Play Well Together," highlighting the possibility of custom tunings for kalimbas and Sansulas to harmonize with existing instruments. Susan's broad expertise in the healing arts, alongside her unique approach to sound therapy, enriches the Monochord Monday Meetup community. Her contributions, along with over 60 other videos, are accessible in the group's video library for those who join the Monochord Monday Group on Zoom.
