” We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music. "
Albert Einstein
MetaMusic is the development of my work around the universal, transformative, and healing power of sound.
Meta means beyond, transcendent. In this context music becomes experiential, functional, and metaphor of life - a tool for self development, spiritual guidance, and holistic healing
This comprehensive body of work is the compendium of my 30+ years of studies and initiations in ancient traditions and modern schools of wisdoms like Alchemy, Vedic Traditions, Mythology, Psychology, Tantra, Shamanism, Esotericism, Folk and Classical Music, Alternative Medicine as well as the direct observation of Mother Nature.
All of these have informed and formed my years of work as a teacher, a musician, and sound therapist, both in one-on-one and group sessions.
I present this body of work as a tool for your personal development, as a compass to navigate life, and as a healing method to support each other. You will learn how to become a Sound Alchemist, while experiencing immersive sound journeys, sacred ceremonies, shamanic vision quests, and hands-on practices. You will also learn self-healing practices to use for yourself and in your work with others.
Enjoy your explorations and discoveries,
Laura Inserra

MetaMusic Foundation Course is a 3-Part program on the use of sound and music as
tools for self-exploration, sacred ceremony, and holistic healing.
Part 1 / Source is about discovering the nature of sound; ways in which sound becomes music; what makes music a tool for deep transformation; the power carried in the intention; the alchemy between the instruments and the practitioner; what is needed to create sound journeys and sacred ceremonies; and more...
Part 2 / Self is about learning how to ‘tune’ to Yourself; how to show up; how to connect to our ‘inner environment’; learning self-care practices; embody your ‘voice print’; the power of drumming, which tools can be useful to facilitate presence, personal transformation, and wellbeing for us and for others; and more...
Part 3 / Self-Other is about exploring how to extend and express yourself through your instruments; how to connect and move toward the Other; how to navigate the fields of the ‘invisible’ while being anchored in ‘Yourself’; how to trust the ‘larger orchestration’; how to become a whole with the flow of manifestation; and more...
MetaMusic Course 2020 or 2021 is required for the MetaMusic Training that will be presented live online this Fall.

"This course set me on a learning curve working with sound, vibration and frequencies. It has broadened my understanding of sound in its many forms and ways of presentation and opened me up to really feeling sound in my body, mind, emotions and spirit. Laura's sound journeys were so different from anything I have previously experienced and in her space she gently allows me to experience sound in an all encompassing way... very expansive. This course was fascinating on so many different levels and even now after completion of the course my body, mind, emotions and soul are still realigning in a new way. Stay tuned !! Who knows what will come next??!!" - Patricia Owen
