TSM/LOM 18-07 Heart Thread Healing our Scars

Their Story Matters and “for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Raphael Weisman, on air from February 13th

Raphael says that there is a deep longing arising in the hearts of so many I have spoken with for community. Not just a group of friends with whom to share common visions and goals, but living communities where children can grow up in safety, where people can live in harmony with the Earth, producing healthy food and providing for the needs of the elderly and respect for all life and everyone, as well as the creatures, the elements and Mother Earth. I have carried this vision for so many years now and have considered a particular piece of land in Northern New Mexico as holding a tremendous potential to be this vision in manifestation. It is where I would also like to create a healing sanctuary where the vision and purposes of Healing The Scars can manifest. I am revisiting my older drafts of this community vision to generate a vision outline and proposal for the establishment of this community and the residential trauma centre. 

Healing the Scars, Inc is a New Mexico non profit organization that was founded as a container for the purpose of spreading HeartThread around the world and providing services, programs, relief and tools for those affected by the devastating effects of war, violence, abuse and trauma and for the training of providers of these services. HTS is a vehicle for the ministry of Raphael Weisman, the founder. This ministry offers a comprehensive approach to providing assistance that weaves together a variety of modalities such as HeartThread, Art-, Dance- and Music- Therapies, professional and ministerial counselling services, Nature and Animal oriented programs, sustainable agriculture programs, spiritual and somatic practices and ceremony.R is committed to bringing healing and comfort to those who benefit from the sound of the harp, seeing this vibration as a force for healing on the planet. He has developed a line of Therapy harps for use by those who are working with sick or dying patients. These new models also provide a line of economy harps which allow beginners to purchase an entry level harp at an affordable price, thus proliferating the use of harps in the world.

Raphael is committed to bringing healing and comfort to those who benefit from the sound of the harp, seeing this vibration as a force for healing on the planet. He has developed a line of Therapy harps for use by those who are working with sick or dying patients. These new models also provide a line of economy harps which allow beginners to purchase an entry level harp at an affordable price, thus proliferating the use of harps in the world.

He is now semi-retired and living in Santa Fe, where he practices playing the harp and is involved in consciousness-raising projects, such as the Santa Fe Water Awareness Group, Healing the Scars, and Heart Thread.

Vihuela

The name Lorien was inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and is the home of the elves. The founder of Harps of Lorien, Inc, Raphael Weisman somewhat resembles an Elf himself. He has been making instruments and been involved in creative artwork for over 30 years. He studied Musical Instrument technology and design in London and was one of the few instrument builders in the forefront of the revival of Early Music in Europe. He built Lutes, Bandoras, Orpharions, Renaissance Guitars, and other instruments based on originals that survived the ravages of time and ended up in museums around the world. He researched and specialized in the manufacture of the Vihuela, the predecessor of the guitar, spending a year making a replica of the only surviving instrument found in a museum in Paris, an intricately decorated bass instrument from around 1500, believed to originate in Moorish Spain

LM 17-26 My Silent Bravery with Matthew Wade

for the LOVE of Music with Sara Troy and her guest Matthew Wade, on air from June 27th 

Billboard Magazine states, “My Silent Bravery plays like a major label signing, from its production savvy, eloquent lyrics, authoritative imaging, polished website, a dedicated Northeast U.S. fan following, merchandising, and most important, a chockablock collection of winning songs. My Silent Bravery is destined to make major noise.”

My Silent Bravery symbolises persistence, perseverance and inner strength to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity. It is this type of determination that helped Matthew Wade of My Silent Bravery overcome a sports injury in his youth which led him to pursue his passion in music.  The injury opened the door to spirituality and a higher calling. Matthew realised he wanted to become a better person and a more sharing individual. Through personal work and transformation, he learned the importance of “paying it forward” and now feels one of his missions in life is to help inspire others to do the same by delivering his positive message to the masses through the music of My Silent Bravery.

MSB released its new album “Breakthrough” on September 28, 2016. The album features an all-star array of producers including Grammy® Award-winner Mike Mangini (Joss Stone, David Byrne, Smash Mouth), Peter Zizzo (Avril Levine, Jennifer Lopez, Jason Mraz), and Anthony Resta (Elton John, Collective Soul, Guster).  Matt has already released the album’s first two singles. The song and video for “Drunk off the Sun” was released in late spring and has already surpassed half a million views on YouTube. The video trended overseas and reached #1 on youtube’s most popular chart in Brazil and cracked the top ten in Norway, Finland, and Sweden. The video was also featured on AXSTV programming reaching over 53 million homes. ‘Drunk Off the Sun’ was also featured on United Airlines’ playlist, “The Hits List,” throughout the summer, at 35,000 feet altitude,  globally. The albums second single and video, ‘Warning Signs’ was released in August 2016 via Paste Magazine. It also trended overseas on YouTube and was a finalist in the 2016 International Acoustic Music Awards.  Warning Signs was most recently featured on XM Sirius Satellite radio station XM The Pulse on Train Tracks with Pat Monahan.  “Breakthrough Acoustic” followed in spring of 2017, and its single Face to Face amassed over 300K views on YouTube and also trended and reached #1 on YouTube’s most popular chart in Canada.

LM 17-20 Joani Bye with her Song Shine Venture

“for the LOVE of Music” with Nathen Aswell and Joani Bye, on air from May 16th

Joani’s music career began with a TV series called Banjo Parlour, where she performed with her two sisters (as The Bye Sisters) while attending the Music Faculty of the University of British Columbia. After leaving academia, she worked in TV, theatre, the recording studio, and with live bands, playing in night clubs, at festivals and at corporate events.

As one of Vancouver’s top studio singers, Joani’s powerful voice has been heard on albums by some of the music industry’s most popular artists such as Cher, David Bowie, INXS and Bon Jovi (including the massive hit “Livin’ On A Prayer”), to name a few, as well as on countless commercial jingles.

Joani spent several years touring schools and concert venues with The Euphorics, a vocal quartet that won the respected Harmony Sweepstakes a cappella competition in San Francisco in 1999. Although her main live project now is the 12-piece powerhouse “The R&B Allstars”, she is regularly invited to be a featured guest with The Motown Meltdown, Ladies Sing the Blues, and the Sisters of Soul.

In May of 2016, Joani took a course to become a certified SongShine instructor and is enjoying teaching courses in vocal empowerment to people with compromised voices due to stroke, Parkinson’s, other neurological issues, and aging.
