“As a physician practicing traditional Western medicine and feeling thoroughly embedded in that culture, I was not sure what to expect when Mary initially offered me some samples and explained the potential healing properties of sound. Upon listening, however, I was truly blown away. Mary’s sound gave me a sense of calm, awareness and balance that brought me back to childhood when being present as my true self was natural and easy. Since that first experience, I have become more aware of how the sound in our daily environment is, generally speaking, neither pleasant nor healing. It bombards us and feels overwhelming. We tune out just to get through the day. Mary’s sound gives us an opportunity to tune back in.” Sharon Mozian, MD, Psychiatrist, Lenox, MA
"I have been honored to participate in Mary O'Malley's community seasonal sound offerings for several years now. Mary is always incredibly inclusive, welcoming, and creative in putting together sound circles for people of any, or no, musical background to come and transcend the mundane world via her incredible weaving of energy, voice and instruments. Mary's sound skill always leads out with the perfect invitation to invoke the depths of the participants inner capacity for expression. Her willingness to allow the soundscape to travel via its own intelligence is what keeps all of us coming back to simply open to what occurs during this profound invocation to the seasons. Everyone feels safe and comfortable, at whatever level they wish to join in. Each of us leaves the circles feeling grounded and transcended at once. She is truly a gift to the community and the Planet. If you find yourself in the Berkshires, do not miss the opportunity to experience Mary and her variety of incredible sound offerings."
Pam Youngquist, PhD Naturopathic Doctor, Great Barrington, MA
"My experience of sitting in session surrounded by the sounds shaped by Mary's instruments: I am transformed into a vaster sense of self than previously conceived. It is as if space and time expand my being and that enhancement resonates within me forever."
