OEC specializes in educating healthcare professionals and laypersons in the use of sound and music to facilitate the healing process. Our techniques have proven effective in the fields of health and education, and we continue to investigate new cross-cultural applications internationally each year.
Trainings, Workshops and Travel Intensives
OEC offers educational programs and trainings, workshops and international travel intensives.
One of our core programs, since 1994, is the Open Ear Listening Program (OELP) for children and adults. We provide both onsite and home-monitored auditory stimulation programs. We offer the Tomatis Method and the Listening Fitness Training Programs (LiFT) and special audio-vocal and voice techniques for the reeducation of the ear. These programs benefit individuals with auditory processing and learning difficulties. Each program supports self-esteem and better communication skills.
Our online store provides a selection of CDs and books about auditory stimulation methods, music for healing, sacred chant and sound practices, and for varied healthcare needs.
