The Ringing of the Rivers Project Healing Partnerships is just one of the corporate sponsors of The Ringing of the Rivers Project. Many individuals and several non-profits have been supporters and activists over the 16 years we have been actively doing our water work. |
Phase One: Water quality education through ringing ceremonies and crystal seedings worldwide. 
Each ringing ceremony participant learns about the importance of water as a common denominator between all life forms on earth, the historical and current use of water sonication. Each participant is encouraged to act outside of themselves during and post ringing ceremony for the greater good of our water world. Examples of this include :
1)by the seeding scent, sound, sacred geometry, and intention charged crystals into three bodies of water, keeping one commemorative stone for themselves; 2) support and funding of our water research - every effort and every penny helps; 3) educating others about the importance of water quality; 4) employment of wise water practices, such as the use of rain barrels for gardening. 
Yes - you are right - that is Shedd Aquarium, 2011 - and we are getting closer to 4 planned studies there. Just a few more hoops to jump through!

Phase Two:
Launch of the Cetacean Phase - and beginning of algae research - November 2008. 
Thanks to David Au's visionary actions, "The Fuki Sushi Revolutionaries" met for dinner, divided up responsibilities, and the next day convened aboard Spirit with all of the gear necessary to formally launch the cetacean phase of our project.
Shortly thereafter, Elena Beck took early retirement from Stanford University. Elena, David Houston and Clark Dunston merged two elderly pet fish into one 80 gallon tank and then introduced new plants which accidentally gave the tanks baaaaad cases of brown and green algae which looked black. Are there REALLY any accidents? |
Phase Three:
Continuing Informal and Beginning Formal Water Research. We are pleased to announce that initial funding for college research of the effects of our sonic algorithm(s) on algae in stagnant water has been personally gifted by Harvey Ray Houston, to Volunteer State Community College, with hopes of the water/algae reduction by sound study to begin next semester. Mr. Houston served as the original hydraulics engineer for The Tennessee Valley Authority. Ray now serves as a Scholarship Trustee at Volunteer State Community College and has been a large supporter of The Ringing of the Rivers Project since 2008. Of course an electrical engineer with deep experience in utilizing the power of water would comprehend our oscilloscope and algae reduction studies! Ray, his son David, Tom and I had hoped to have Paris Foster Powers oversee the research, however, when we arrived in the Dean of Math and Science's office last week to arrange provision of the initial research funding, we were shocked and deeply saddened to discover that Paris had recently passed. What an unexpected and devastating loss his passing is to his family, friends, students, colleagues and to our project. R.I.P. Parris We are still moving forward, but there is much to do before next semester. The Dean of the Math/Science Department at Volunteer State also specializes in algae. The Dean, during his doctoral studies, participated in other studies using electromagnetism for control of algae. R.I.P. Parris - you will be missed. |

To give you a glimpse into our work, below are some Notes I came across from 9-7-2012 which were made after more work on San Francisco Bay:
I am physically back from San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Emeryville, Aptos, Pala Alto, Mountainview and points in between. The phone chargers are enroute home - ETA Monday... Thank you Crissy and Brody for finding and mailing them ;) In the meantime, on Skype, I am galaminos and Tommy has a cell for emergency messages.
A FULL pickup truck called Imari - thanks to David Houston, managed to transport Ashera Hart and Judy Lynne Cole with The K.I.S.S. Laser, Windsongs, amazing tubular chimes and many tuning forks on a memorable journey of attunement.
We were busy as could be with many private consultations and balancings, working on the water aboard Spirit on The Ringing of the Rivers Project, Sonic Enchantment, getting to finally experience Ambisonics immersive sound and The Holotope, visiting Indigital Recording Studio and Institute of Recording Arts, Big Basin Vineyards, The Redwoods, sailing aboard Spirit with a harbor porpoise visit !!!, seeing how San Friskito Creek has progressed through the work of many over the past 5 years, playing with the K.I.S.S. Lasers at Masters Publishing House with so many wonderful sound healers, swing dancing in an Indian Restaurant with Marcos, eating organic Chinese food in Mountainview with Elena and crying that the special journey was nearing an end.
We connected along the way with other sonic researchers Elan Rosenman, Randy Masters, Crissy Suits, Marya Stark, David Kobza, Roy Nordblom III, Brody Bergholz, Andrew Kimpel, Diana McClintic, Chris Holt, Marc Warshaw and more (you all know how I struggle with name recall) - and those on a healing journey - Marijke, Samantha, Bradley, Kiran, Josh, Nicole, Elisabeth and more. If you are on Facebook, add names if I have accidentally left some out - it was a whirlwind week and the memories are flowing as I unpack.
Once the phones get charged, pictures will begin to be posted. See Roy Nordblom III performing his shamanic magic over San Francisco Bay aboard Spirit where those aboard were blessed to get to spend 4 nights, rocking in mother nature's watery arms in Emeryville Harbor.
The next visit I WILL bring thermal underwear and a snow suit to stay dryer and warmer while sailing. I think I wore half of my suitcase clothes every day – layered AM and PM – this trip made me fully realize the logic behind California apparel style.
Healing Partnerships is proud to be one of the USA Distributors of the ShellTone, which is played similar to a trumpet or trombone, above water or under water.
Shelltone Whale Project
Beneath the surface of the Oceans, whales are singing some amazingly complex and delicate songs, pure expression of their wisdom. It appears that anyone who had approached a whale, and had a chance to listen to their songs, had the feeling that those peaceful creatures might have a tremendous knowledge still to be discovered and shared.
After years of collaboration between acoustics engineers and marine biologists, at the acoustics research laboratory of the Ecole Centrale de Nantes and at the Stanford University in California, the Shelltone Whale Project team created a musical wind instrument, inspired by the conch shell, that allows a trumpeteer (Shell Tone player) to reproduce whale songs on the surface and underneath water.
On every area of the ocean, whales compose their own songs. However, each year, every whale on every ocean has a common song, on a constant evolution. Humpback whales remember the songs they composed and share them with families from different territories. This ascertainment make us believe they have an universal consciousness.
The Shelltone Whale Project research demonstrates that whales are able to engage interspecies communications with humans through music.
The mission of the Shelltone Whale Project is to play, improvise and co-write music with whales, sublimating through this common creation the fundamentals of interspecies communication.
The message is in the song.

P.S. Just as whales and other marine life share their songs, we share ours with the marine life. Peace! Judy
