Marcelo J. Martins
Healing
2 Hours
Neuro Dynamic Audio Therapy or (ND-AT)
It's a 90 minute workshop practice designed for an audience ready to deep dive into the world of Binaural Beats sitting on a fine bed of Entrainment sounds and topped up with carefully selected Isochronic Tones. The aim of this new workshop is to assist in balancing one's brain hemispheres through those sounds above, which are backed by Neuro Science as well to induce a state of calmness, focus and relaxation. One could see this as a supplement to any meditative practice due to its brain function enhancing vibrations.
Marcelo J Martins is my name and I am thrilled to be hosting my first edition of ND-AT at Initiation this NY's!!

Born into a spiritual open minded Canadian family on one side, and early European settlers in Napier and South Island New Zealand, all brewed in a mix of classic Kiwi culture and a new age teachings, I was open to all aspects of society. My grandmother on the Canadian side was raised on a farm that bordered an indigenous reserve, she grew up with the kids learning their ways and a prophecy that “New Zealand would be the first country to rise again”. Learning that New Zealand and most of Australia lie in the blue night bioregion made total sense.
Five years ago I found the dreamspell, and with five years of using it to navigate my path so far I can tell you that I truly believe it has a connection between the divine plan and how we can achieve the dream of abundance for all. My life since receiving the codes is an example of this, the connections I have made and the relationships forged have put me in a position to help weave all to reveal the quest.

1 Hour
I have been DJing for 10 years, making music for 6 years and running small festivals and music focused events since 2017. In 2023 I landed my biggest gigs getting to perform at a 3000-person festival, released my first single and got an EP signed to a prominent label focused on my style of music. 2024 my brand is growing even further as I land bigger gigs and have another label release and multiple independent releases.
I love sharing knowledge & I love listening deeply. Among other things these two skills in particular make me an excellent mentor as I am able to access a decade's journey worth of knowledge and help you become more direct with your growth. I know so many things I wish I knew at the start. These would have significantly helped me grow faster. Instead, I grinded hard on my own to become the skilled producer and DJ that I am today.
My passion is music and accessing creativity. I want to inspire this in others and helping new creatives achieve their dreams.

MovMed
Matthew Tarlinton
Yoga
1 Hour
Developed by founder Nathan Nussbaum, MovMed is a system based around feeling first...
In the same way we think with words and images within our brains, our bodies "think" via sensation. The nervous system prioritizes sensory information, which provides the brain with live feedback on what's happing in and to the body. Much of our sensory processes are autonomic/reflexive by nature, but will degrade in the face of lingering threat to the brain.
It is our goal here at MovMed to educate how you can repair and enhance your body awareness, while guiding you through what parts of your body you should focus on building up to provide the most long lasting rewards. By using a comprehensive understanding of the neurological relationships within the body, we can change the way your body feels and functions for the better.

Through this project, he has created the world's first truly Modular Album, a tool that has been lovingly crafted for Clinicians and Solo-Travelers alike, to best support a transformational experience whether in a psychedelic-assisted therapy setting or an at-home therapy/deep listening session. This “choose-your-own-adventure” music experience is perfected for the journey space. It is inspired by nature, informed by science and designed for the shifting and evolving nature of the psychedelic experience.
