Gary Buchanan presents at Globe Sound Healing Conference in 2018

Follow this link to pages on the intention, presenters, exhibits, and workshops held at the 7th International Globe Sound Healing Conference: https://soundhealingcenter.com/conference/

Reverend Canon Gary Buchanan presented on Sunday, October 7th at the 7th International Globe Sound Healing Conference held October 6 – 8, 2018 at Temple Congregation Sherith in San Francisco. Reverend Buchanan presented primarily on Sonatherapy, but spoke a bit on Cosolargy and the Steamboat Healing Center and Spa as well.

Gary demonstrates the applicators with various sound frequencies on a member of the audience. About 50 people were in attendance.

There are two primary intentions of the sound healing conferences sponsored by the Globe Sound and Consciousness Institute:
(1) to raise consciousness and bring people into higher states of awareness more consistently by disseminating techniques and information and with experiential exercises to actually go into these states.
(2) to bring sound healing into mainstream homes and hospitals and gain more acceptance by helping the public to understand the science and effectiveness behind sound healing and by providing a venue for sound practitioners, the public and the medical community to meet and form connections and alliances.

The 7th International Globe Sound Healing Conference was held October 6 – 8, 2018 at Temple Congregation Sherith in San Francisco, one of the oldest Jewish synagogues in California. The Jewish congregation that built the synagogue was formed in 1850. The building was erected in 1904/05 and survived the great San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906.

This year’s conference was held in Spectacular Temple Congregation Sherith – 2266 California Street, San Francisco

A lot of people are not aware of know this, but every edition of the Community Communique in our possession from 1971 to the present is archived online. Where? Right here at communitycommunique.net.

If you go into the “From the Archives” category under “SPECIAL REPORTS” and click on the last page in the archives, you will be taken to the earliest dated post in our online archive: October 1971. There you will find a facsimile copy of the “Cosolargy Report” from that month, which you can read online or download and print. From there, through a series of links, you will be led through every edition of the communiques we have all the way up to 2009.

The “Community Communique” has been published in several different forms over the years. And some years, not at all. Here is a quick rundown:

From 1971 through 1992, you will find PDF facsimiles of all the print editions we have in our archive.

From 1971 to April 1972, the communiques were one-page monthly reports.

After that, four-page news reports were published under various names until 1974, when the name “Community Communique” appeared for the first time. This has been the title of our Community newsletter since that time.

But the form of the Community Communique has changed over the years. The newsletter was first published as a four- page newsletter from 1974 through Spring 1982.

Then in Fall 1982, the publication expanded. More pages were added as time went on. Along with that came more pictures and longer, more detailed articles. The print edition went on in this format for ten years, from 1982 through 1992.

From Spring 1993 through Winter 1994, the Communique was not printed in any format. We have tried to make up for that in our online edition by providing electronic remakes of articles for those years that never appeared in print. You will find them in the archives marked with a photo of Bishop Gene Savoy Sr in vestments and with this notice:

NOTICE: The Winter 1992 edition was the last Community Communique published until the Spring 1995 edition. From Spring 1993 through Winter 1995, the quarterly publication of The Community Communique was on hiatus, picking up again with the Spring 1995 issue. For this reason, you will not find archive copies of the print Community Communique from Spring 1993 through Winter 1994. However, we are providing coverage of Community events for this season in the collection of articles you will find below.

In 1995 the print edition of the Communique was again published for about another year, until Summer 1996.

The Summer 1996 edition was the last Community Communiqué published until the Winter 2007 edition. For this reason, you will not find archived copies of the Community Communiqué from Fall 1996 through Fall 2007. For these years you will find major events from each season of those years described briefly in a short post.

The Communique appeared in a print edition again from Winter 2007 to Winter 2008, and this time with color photographs.

Since 2009 the Community Communique has been published as an online weekly newsletter. In its present form, we publish five or six posts weekly for an annual total of about 200-300 posts per year. To date nearly 2000 articles of various kinds and lengths are posted online. Every one of them is accompanied by photos, and a number of them are photo galleries. We have also published longer articles in serial form from week to week. These you will find in the Insight and Perspective sections. And we welcome submissions from Community members.

However, we do have one problem with our archive of past editions of the Communique: We do not have every single edition in our possession. This is where some of our long-time Community members, particularly those who have been members since the early 1970s, can help to fill the gaps. Our archive is missing a number of editions from 1971-1975. If you are a long-time Cosolargist, check your collection and if you find an edition we do not have please send us a copy of what we are missing.

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Reno, Nevada

Bishop gene Savoy Jr. attended as visiting clergy on behalf of the International Community of Christ to witness the consecration of Trinity Episcopal Church in Reno from church to cathedral. The Right Reverend Dan Edwards of the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada presided along with the Very Reverend William Stompske who was raised from the position of rector to dean. Approximately 30 choristers, 15 Episcopal clergy, and 100 lay people attended the ceremony.

Judge Patrick Flanagan

Funeral Mass was held for Judge Patrick Flanagan (1953-2017) on October 12, 2017 at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, Reno, Nevada. Bishop Gene and Radhelka Savoy attended the service.

Flanagan, chief judge of Washoe County District Courts, was an acquaintance of Bishop Savoy and much admired by him.

His legal career began after graduation from California Western School of Law in 1978. Moving to Reno after graduation to work as a Washoe County Appellate Public Defender. As a Federal Public Defender he appeared in front of the US Supreme Court in Sumner v. Shuman (1987) and numerous Ninth Circuit court appearances.

Flanagan’s obituary states: “He was a formidable champion for a fair, unbiased and just legal system. He never wavered in his pursuit for justice and quality legal services for all people regardless of money, citizenship, race, age, or religion. Prior to his death, he was pursuing his Masters in Law with a final thesis on expanding the role of Paralegals to assist the underserved community with mediation and pre-trial services. Throughout his legal career he was dedicated to upholding our Constitution and improving the legal system for all.”

The Reverend Canon Gary Buchanan has been invited to speak at the 2017 conference of the International Light Association, to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from April 29th through May 3rd. Cosolargy International President Gene Savoy Jr and his wife Radheka will also be attending the conference.

Gary was invited to speak by the president of the organization, Anadi Martel, whom Gary met in Bulgaria at the 11th Annual Water Conference held in Sofia October 6-9, 2016. Mr. Martel offered Gary space to talk about any and all aspects of light, including “higher sciences,” but advised him to create a bridge with more mainstream science through clinical and case studies when possible and asked Gary to devote a bit of time to Cymatics and the wonderful images and videos of sound resonance which he saw Gary present in Bulgaria. Gary’s time slot is for 75 minutes, including a questions period. His talk, the final presentation on the final day of the conference, will serve as final summation and conclusion to the week-long gathering.

Members of the board of the International Light Association include internationally situated physicists and many others. Dr. Jacob Liberman, who spoke at the 2012 “Spiritual State of the World Conference” in Reno is also the board and will evidently be presenting this year. Dr. Jim Oschman, also a speaker at a number of the “Spiritual State of the World” conferences sponsored by Cosolargy International, has presented at the International Light Association conference in the past. Others presenters will include Gerald Pollack, director of the EZ water conference in Bulgaria, and Fritz Albert Popp, pioneer in biophotons. There will also be numerous individuals involved in sun-gazing and photo-syntonics, light medicine and related technologies, and the study of ancient religions of the east. More can be reviewed on the board at http://www.international-light-association.org/board.

The 2017 conference of the International Light Association promises to be a good meet-up with people who may be interested in the principles taught by Cosolargy International. This conference may also establish inroads to other conferences and the groups that sponsor them.

The ILA’s purpose is to create a bridge between the scientific and the energy aspects of light, and participants include people working with both mainstream light medicine and more esoteric traditions. The web site of the International Light Association, which has the conference up front, may be viewed at http://www.international-light-association.org/.
