With Author, Speaker, Drummer, and Music Therapist
Christine Stevens
A 10-Module On-Demand Video Training
Includes 7-Module Introductory Program!
Feel the profound effects of flute playing, and the warm connection of a virtual community, as you learn scales, songs, and ornamenting techniques — to find your own personal soul song and create healing experiences for yourself and others.
For most people witnessing and experiencing the cataclysmic events of this year, it’s become increasingly clear that our world — including individuals, communities, animals, and natural elements — is in dire need of healing.
At this moment in history, many seekers are turning to beautiful wisdom systems and traditions from the past to bring repair to the planet. Among Indigenous cultures, one of the many healing approaches has always been music.
You may be surprised to know that the flute is the oldest known musical instrument, dating back 43,000 years… and, during these times, you can turn to the flute as a tool to help you expand your awareness, open your heart, and find inner peace.
As your life-breath moves through the flute, your emotions — including grief, fear, and pain — move through and out of you.
Join music therapist Christine Stevens on a 10-step journey to become empowered to play the flute — for spiritual practice, sound healing, prayer, connection with nature, personal transformation, and much more…
You won’t need to know how to read music or play the flute — music is already written in your heart… and Christine will teach you in the oral tradition that’s been used for thousands of years. You also don’t need to purchase a flute. You’ll receive instructions on how to craft an inexpensive flute yourself.
Playing the Native American flute can help you access, express, and heal feelings — even those your conscious mind isn’t aware of.
It’s the magic of flute playing as a spiritual practice that can bring so much joy… and the capacity to find in the 5-note pentatonic scale your authentic story that needs to be told.
And the techniques, ornamentation, and scales you’ll learn during the 10 modules of Deepen Your Flute Journey were designed to help you both develop the skills to play the flute…
… and use the flute as a tool to become an open channel — removing your blocks so your soul’s unique music can finally come through.
You’ll unlock your potential to play with feeling — to bring healing for yourself and others.
In Christine’s new 10-part program, you’ll take a deep dive into all the aspects of flute playing that are already in you and ready to be sung… and you’ll emerge with an array of skills and insights.
Sacred Flute Playing for a Life of Authenticity & Service
As you come to embody the powerful truth that, when playing the flute, there are no wrong notes, you can become empowered to move through life that way, too — allowing yourself to let your true spirit shine, without getting stuck in the difficult feelings you may be navigating.
This course can help you gain the courage to express your song as you express yourself in life…  and develop the confidence to play for emotional release and healing — for yourself and others…
You’ll learn to integrate the aspects of the flute that create your unique sound and fulfill your soul’s purpose…You’ll explore a variety of scales, composition, improvisation, music theory, and ornamentation to develop a sound that only you can bring into the world.
And, perhaps one of the most beautiful benefits of this course is the sense of belonging to a global community of spiritual flute healers.
Each week, at the end of class, you’ll have the opportunity, should you so choose, to play something from your heart in small breakout groups with other participants.
Christine holds master’s degrees in social work and music therapy — and inspires people all over the world with her message that music promotes holistic health, spirituality, and emotional wellbeing.
She’s played her flute for healing in war zones and disaster areas, for battered women and witnesses of genocide, for surviviors of fires and hurricanes, and many more.
Now you can spend 10 sessions with Christine, experiencing for yourself how this sacred instrument can help you move stuck emotions, feel uplifted and relaxed, connect with nature and Spirit, and provide healing for yourself and others.
Your participation in this new sound healing program with Christine will also help the Native Memory Project, a nonprofit supporting the documentation and preservation of stories, histories, and cultural traditions of Indigenous peoples, early settlers, ranchers, and others with strong historical ties to the cultural landscape of the American West.Christine and The Shift Network will be donating a percentage of the proceeds from this course to support this organization in protecting knowledge that’s in danger of being lost or forgotten… and to support place-based education and local learning by developing resources for knowledge sharing.
In this experiential video training, you’re sure to walk away with:

Use the flute as a holistic tool to help with self-expression and personal transformation
Confidence in your ability to play your flute as a healing tool — for yourself and others
Techniques to empower your self-expression
Techniques to use your breath effectively as you play your flute… to help you pause between “sentences”

What You’ll Discover in These 10 Modules
In this 10-part transformational intensive, Christine will guide you through the fundamental body-mind-spirit skills and competencies you’ll need to master the flute, one of the most accessible instruments to play for sound healing, self-expression, connection to Spirit, mindfulness, and more. (It’s highly recommended that you have a flute to receive the most from this transformational course. Suggestions for how to craft an inexpensive flute on your own or what kind of flute to purchase, as well as instructions, will be provided.)
This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Christine. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to access your flute-playing gifts.
Module 1: Expanding Your Flute-Playing Potential With Scales & Higher Octaves
The Native American flute plays a five-note scale, and no note is wrong. What happens when we reach higher — beyond that standard scale? What awaits you in the new sonic territory of higher octaves?
Christine will help you step further into your playing potential by setting intentions to experiment with higher octaves for spiritual connection, health, and healing.
In this module, you’ll:
Start to lift your energy higher by playing the 3 high notes above the standard pentatonic scale
Explore basic music theory of the overtone series and harmonic resonance
Experience a practice of overtone chanting
Discover new notes and scales by removing the third hole strap
Learn the nuts and bolts of flute music notation
Receive a deepening practice to connect the low and high tonic notes to ground and uplift
Module 2: Musical Development for Soul Expression — With Guest Teacher Guillermo Martinez
In this exciting second session, internationally acclaimed performer and flute maker Guillermo Martinez, owner of Quetzalcoatl Music and member of Bamboo, Cedar, Oak, will join you to share his teachings on musical development in scales, ornamentation, and creating a good sound — all in service of soul expression.
During this second session, you’ll:
Discover new notes and scales through the in-between sounds of the pentatonic scale
Connect with the ancient flute lineage and explore the deeper meaning of the flute for your life journey
Have the exciting opportunity to learn from a master flute maker and performer
Receive tips on performing equipment and sound
Module 3: Improvisation — Awakening Your Musical Soul
You have a unique song to play… a scale that resonates with you… and your own style to discover and nurture. It’s time for you to expand and discover ways to awaken your musical soul.
In this session, you’ll learn how scales offer structure so you can more easily improvise melodies through the alchemy between player and prompt.
You’ll:
Use your voice and flute to access new songlines of your soul
Discover how to use play-along tracks as creative prompts
Push your edge by decorating melodies with beauty through ornamentation
Learn the tools of articulation and tonguing to expand your heart communication through sound
Receive a deepening practice for improvisation at dawn and dusk — marking the changing tempos of your day
Module 4: Composition — Creating Structured Songs From Improvisational Freedom
Composition literally means “ingredients… the way a whole or mixture is made up.” This can refer to so many aspects of creativity, including a musical work of art.
With that in mind, this class will focus on how improvisation can lead to song. You’ll explore how to balance the freedom of improvisation with song structure. And you’ll look at what happens when we add form and chords… and how they help us play with the changes life gives us.
In this session, you’ll:
Learn composition techniques based on Indian raga music and Lakota prayer songs
Learn to notate your musical ideas and incorporate simple two-chord patterns
Experience the power of listening back to your own playing
Explore the exquisite balance of how structure provides creative freedom
Receive a deepening practice to make a composition as a dedication to someone or something — and then play that song for (or as an offering to) the person or thing you’re honoring
Module 5: Expressing Your Emotions — Going Deep Into Your Musical Heart by Adding Complementary Sounds
Imagine living your life as a clear flute, an open channel to flow through your experiences without judgment… looking at pain and challenge as the holes in the flute.
If there are no wrong notes in the flute scale, surely there are no wrong feelings. The Native American flute offers us a tool to acknowledge and allow our emotions to bring healing to challenging experiences.
During this class, you’ll:
Learn the art of orchestrating feelings — using the flute and adding complementary sounds that amplify and release emotions
Use the flute to express your feeling tones, and access healing beyond words
Explore playing with and beyond fear
Practice playing different moods… such as contentment, longing, devotion, and gratitude
Module 6: Nature’s Inspiration for Sound Healing — Playing With the Earth’s Elements
The collective is grieving as a result of our climate change crisis. To begin to address the healing of our planet through music, you’ll work with the primal elements — air, earth, fire, and especially water. Christine will also teach you unique ornamentation sounds related to nature… using the flute in creative ways.
During this middle session, you’ll:
Experience a medicine wheel ceremony by learning to play flute songs for the four elements
Experience a journey into your personal favorite tree to explore the branches of song — and notice where the branches take you
Learn how to bring the outdoors inside, using visualization and sound apps to connect with nature’s beauty, harmony, and peace
Module 7: Flute Pranava — Using Mindfulness, Breathwork & the Double Flute
Breath is life.
Pranava is the Sanskrit word for the holy breath that connects with energy. Inhaling fills and sustains us, while breathing out helps us purify and release. Can you think of your breath the same way as you play your flute?
Breathmarks in flute music indicate pauses in phrases. And as we learn to pace our airflow with the flute, we learn to maintain a cadence of breath that anchors peace in the body.
Note: Christine recommends the Double Nova High Spirits flute in the key of G for this module.
In this module, you’ll:
Practice playing for yourself and your personal healing as an act of self-care
Learn to use yogic breathing to access diaphragm support
Overcome self-doubt through sonic mirror practice — listening back to your own playing
Practice using sustained notes to center your mind and improve your lung capacity
Discover the magic of playing a double flute
Module 8: Flute Savasana — Playing for Sound Baths & Other Healing Practices
Our personal flute playing enables us to be of service in experiences where healing is needed. In this class, you’ll explore playing the flute as a means of self-care and caring for others. Christine will demonstrate how the way we play for relaxation and healing is different from other kinds of playing — holding different intentions and accessing deeper meaning in the elements of music.
You’ll:
Learn techniques to overcome fear when playing for others
Practice incorporating other instruments – chimes, bowls, drones, and drums
Discover how to create phrases in your music — to begin and end your sound healing offerings
Explore some other musical elements related to healing sound — silence, rhythm, melody, and harmony
Practice arpeggios and learn how to use rattles for energy clearing
Find out how to use reverb, amplification, and microphones when offering healing sounds
Module 9: Power Songs — Finding Your Personal Anthem
Like a power animal, we have a power song, a personal soul song, that supports and empowers our spirit. It may be a song you originate or one you learn to sing or play on the flute. Discover the playlist for your life… and how to embody it more fully.
In this class, you’ll:
Design and create your personal flute practice as an evolutionary journey for your body, mind, and spirit
Experience playing an algorithm of notes in the sonic spelling of your name
Learn how to carry songs that deeply touch your soul — how to notate them or play them by ear
Compose a personal anthem… a melody that’s your musical fingerprint
Module 10: Beauty Way — Songs in the Key of Love
What is the role of beauty in your life? How can you invite more beauty into your spiritual practice… through sound, scent, taste, and sight? How can you integrate all you’ve learned to create your own unique practice — bringing greater peace, joy, and creativity into your life?
In this final session, you’ll welcome a guest instructor who will offer a Native American perspective on the ancestry of flute playing — in what’s known as the beauty way.
In this class, you’ll:
Experience how the senses are gateways to embody beauty
Learn a flute ceremony honoring the lineage… the ancestry of sound healing

What Graduates of Christine’s Courses Are Saying…
“… a safe space to explore not only a new instrument, but a completely new way of experiencing music.”
The Flute as Sound Medicine opened up a whole new musical world for me. I have been a musician all my life and can sight-read most any piece of music put in front of me. I’ve never felt comfortable improvising, though. Christine’s wonderful instruction and warm, welcoming nature really created a safe space to explore not only a new instrument, but a completely new way of experiencing music. I’m so grateful to The Shift Network for offering this course and am looking forward to many future courses. The delivery platform, course materials, and Facebook community were perfect!

“… the freedom I needed to be more myself, embrace my voice, and embrace my spiritual connection to Source and the Earth.”
Christine’s flute course has transformed my heart. It has awakened my inner child and allowed her to come out to heal. This course gave me the freedom I needed to be more myself, embrace my voice, and embrace my spiritual connection to Source and the Earth. The flute drops me down into my heart space and I can play what I feel, without the need for words that pull me back into my head. Christine was a supportive and gentle guide, birthing the expression of my soul. She is so real and authentic. I can feel her energy across the technology. And, she was so generous with her time and energy. Her morning videos, her answering of written questions, and really CARING about all of us, was very supportive. It was a profoundly moving and healing course. Now, I’d like to work on my technique to get better!

“… this course will awaken you to the realization that music moves in us and through us…”
If you love music but have thought it to be something outside of you, this course will awaken you to the realization that music moves in us and through us, as well as around us.
