Ancient Sounds meet Modern Science

MRS: It is my honor to come across some crown jewels in this industry. Marian Kraus is certainly one of them. He blends ancient practices with modern mediums that deliver a comprehensive experience. Find out more about his upcoming day retreat in Warrenville located at the Holistic Energy Centre.

MK: My mission:
Through the powerful synthesis of ancient sound wisdom and modern immune science, my work guides transformational healing that dissolves limiting patterns and elevates human potential.
MK: I facilitate the essential shift from victim consciousness to Creator empowerment using scientifically-backed sound frequencies combined with a proven five-element framework:
➢ cultivating AWARENESS of what holds you back
➢ making a clear DECISION to change
➢ setting focused INTENTION for growth
➢ supporting INTEGRATION of new patterns, and
➢ maintaining consistent PRACTICE.

MK: This holistic approach harmonizes body, mind, and spirit through therapeutic sound interventions that activate the immune system, reduce stress and inflammation, and guide brainwave states toward optimal healing and transformation.
MK: When these elements unite through skillfully applied vibrational therapy, authentic change naturally unfolds, empowering individuals to step into their highest potential as conscious creators of their reality.

MRS: What is the Purpose of joining the Holistic Energy Centre?
MK: To be part of a community of kindred spirits while contributing to the visitors of HEC what I have learned on my healing journey and personal transformation path for the past 35 years.
I will be providing one-on-one sound-therapy sessions with large gongs, singing bowls and more, as well as sound journey group events and workshops, overnight sound journeys and more at the Holistic Energy Centre.

MRS: What is the theme of the workshop:
MK: The Resonant Self - Within you exists a unique frequency—a core vibration of your most authentic, powerful, and expanded self. For too long, it may have been drowned out by demands, doubts, and distractions. The workshop will provide a sacred and intentional space for participants to reclaim that frequency. There will be three 1 hour workshop segments and a sound bath journey

MK: Workshop Date:
Saturday, October 5, from 9 am – 4 pm
ABOUT THE DAY RETREAT
MRS: What are you passionate about sharing?
MK: Everything related… Life is a miracle and we create our realities, for better or worse. The short of it is that it all rests on our degrees of awareness, consciousness and mindfulness…

MRS: Who is your audience?
MK: Anyone who resonates with the theme and mission and is ready to explore and/or make changes in their lives
MRS: Is this a lecture, practice or both?
MK: Both

MRS: What learning objectives do you want the students to leave the workshop with?
MK: To realize that we all swim in an ocean of possibilities and potentialities, and that there are countless ways to embrace this magnificent journey called life, without fear, suffering, anxieties, stress etc. We are the artists of our lives…
