Marilyn works within the community of Hinton, Alberta, Canada and the area, including Jasper and Edson.  At present her Harp Therapy practice includes the Hinton Health Care Centre, Good Samaritan Mountainview Home, Pine Valley Lodge, Adult Day Program, Jasper Alpine Summit Extended Care Facility and with individuals at home or at school.  She works with hospital patients, dementia patients, palliative care patients and their families, cancer patients receiving chemo-therapy, birthing mothers, children with special needs, handicapped adults, residents of seniors’ homes and extended care facilities, and in employee stress-release sessions.  Marilyn also plays harp for weddings, funerals and other special occasions.
 
Harp Therapy is a free service to those in need.  It is funded completely through grants and donations to the Hinton Health Care Foundation – Harp Therapy Project.  At present an average of 300 people per month benefit from Harp Therapy.
 
Marilyn’s first CD, “Starblanket” is in production and should be available in the fall of 2013. (see website).  It will be a compilation of pieces, some original, designed for relaxation and to facilitate healing.
 
Testimonials:
1. ”I usually experience music as something outside of myself, but when you played your harp it went straight to my soul and I experienced it from within.”
2. Nursing Supervisor : “ I have personally witnessed the harp as a therapeutic instrument and appreciate the ‘healing touch’ it brings to patients and visitors, supporting our goal of health and healing.  Marilyn is attentive to the needs of each individual patient and designs her program to meet those needs.  Nursing staff and even cleaning staff at the hospital have commented on the positive effects of the harp music.  The benefits are not only physiological (positive changes in heart rate, breathing and blood pressure) but emotional and psychological as well.”
3. Cancer patient : “ I really do not like it here in the Cancer Clinic.  It makes me angry and nervous.  The harp really calms me down and gives me some peace.”

At last! My CD is finished! A 70 minute production of cheerful ensemble and solo pieces, put together with the help of some of my friends. Duo harp, flute, guitar and recorders take up the first 30 minutes. Solo harp concludes the CD, with improvisation and arrangements designed to put the listener into a blissful state of relaxation. Hear samples from “Harpistry” on CD Baby and iTunes.
Also, orders from harp circles continue to be received for my book “Northern Lights, Solo and Ensemble Music for Lever Harp, International Collection”. This spring I will finish a teaching supplement which will aid those using the book as a teaching tool. Stay tuned for a publication date!
The Northern Lights Harp Fest will be held in Ottawa, Oct. 4-6, 2013. The committee was delighted that Tina Tourin agreed to present a full day session in advance of the fest, as well as workshops during that weekend. Participating graduates can earn 20 CEU’s for their attendance at the fest. A warm welcome awaits you in Ottawa! http://www.northernlightsharpfest.com

What others have said about Bev’s work…

“My issue is I need to walk. While you played, I saw myself dancing around a maypole.”cancer institute in-patient

“Thank you so much for providing this beautiful music for patients and families. It was a ray of sunshine and hope on otherwise dreary days and reminded us there was more to life than the miseries in which we were immersed at that moment!”RN and patient’s family member

Julie Darling has worked with spiritual and therapeutic music for twenty years. She is a teacher, artist, flower essence practitioner and fully qualified Harp Therapist.

“Julie is known for the sacred power of her music and the gentle wisdom of her teachings.” – GK

Julie creates music with her Celtic harp in the wild and holy places of the British Isles. She makes art, music and poetry which is inspired by the wild beauty of the natural world around her, and her love of ancient teachings from the Celtic spiritual world.

She works with people who are seeking an experience of deep peace, as well as groups and individuals who are looking for a deeper wisdom – the language of the heart. She holds the belief that music can be the doorway to the inner dimensions, opening us to the light and wisdom that lies within our own hearts and souls. The Celtic harp is her instrument. She plays the harp in the way that our ancestors did, with sacred intent, the spoken word and the power of prayer.

The sounds of wind, wave and birdsong , are woven into live recordings of her music as they accompany the music of her harp in nature, as she creates vibrational essences for healing work – these are the Rosegold Celtic Harp Essences.

Julie also makes ‘Personal Harp Music and Essences’ for her clients – playing the song of your heart and soul, as the Celtic harp expresses the hidden stories that long to be heard.
