Laura Inserra

Sound alchemist — multi instrumentalist, music therapist, teacher, composer, artistic director, and producer. Sound is a vibration.

She lives and creates at the confluence of music from around the globe, wisdom practices, and cutting edge technologies. I'm inspired by the concept that all the religious and gnostic believes have in common that Life started with 'sound'. A vibration creates movement, and through movement everything manifests, transform, and evolve. This is the most simple, ancient, and profound principle in Natu

re. My work reflects that view and creates a deep connection with the specific 'momentum' we live in. Because of that, while you are reading about my lifework, I have evolved already to another state of consciousness. May you find here a resonance or an inspiration for your precious life and may our path cross in time and space so that we can benefit even more of the gifts we have to share. Laura Inserra is a multi-instrumentalist, sound therapist, composer, teacher, and event producer from Sicily. She is specialized in the transformative and healing power of sound, resonant frequencies, sympathetic resonance, and binaural beats.

Thanks to her musical and spiritual studies with teachers from ancient and modern schools of wisdom, she has developed a unique form of healing practice called 'Harmonizing Therapy'. Using sacred sounds, rhythms, and melodies, she creates Inner Landscapes Journeys to facilitate and nurture personal transformation and self awareness. She applies this method in one on one sessions, as well as group settings, concerts, workshops, and company retreats. Laura’s music displays a rich palette of global sounds using ancient and modern instruments which she infuses with a unique blend of harmonies and melody lines on top of intricate rhythmic expressions. She performs in a variety of public, private, and site-specific events including retreats sacred ceremonies. She composes soundtracks and sound design for dance, theater, art installations, and movies. Since the age of 21, she has been teaching music to students of all ages and levels in private and group sessions. In particular, since 2003, she is worldwide the most recognized teacher of the Hang.

Blessed Days of Remembrance.

This is a sacred time to honor the luminous Ones and those who have crossed the threshold. Remember to make some offerings to your ancestors, your guardian angels, and spirit guides — a candle, some incense, a prayer, a whisper of gratitude. May they guide and protect us all along.

I look forward to the free online gathering tomorrow, Saturday, hosted by Shift Network at 9:00am Pacific / 12:00pm Eastern.

Click Here to Register for the Free Event → https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/smhmLI/a24738/

During this one hour together, I’ll share part of my life path and introduce my new online course, Shamanic Music Medicine. We’ll also take a sound journey together, so you can experience what music can awaken within you.

This gathering is for anyone who feels called to deepen their relationship with sound, nature, and the unseen forces that support life. You don’t need to be a musician — just bring your open heart, your curiosity, and your presence.

And if you can’t join live, you can still register to receive the recording and experience the sound journey in your own time and space.

I look forward to sharing this space of resonance and discovery with you.

With much love, beauty, and light,
