Connectedness
Beyond
Shifting back and forth through time, dissolving any notion of place, losing all comprehension of space, letting all things be… to matter the fact letting them all be beyond, my understanding, as I surrender a well of gratitude fountains in me, as I sink in my aloneness, never felt connected like this before..
WimCombining music and video
In the video below, I try to express this connectedness. The ‘Linq’ of all things. Look at the rhythm of the young seagull with the little waves of the sea. I connect myself to it too, by video-ing what I sea and composing music related. And most of all I connect your ears and who knows heart to it at the same time. Whenever you hear this, wherever you discover this. There is only one thing going on… you, here, now.

Movement
Today I deeply got myself into the field recordings of Sukai Ken, a Japanese sound designer. On the #Ableton website he gives some free binaural recordings of river sounds (and more), recorded with a #hydrophone and #binaural microphone.
This is an interesting way of traveling to me, through sounds. But what happens if you start to #improvise on these sounds. Really interesting too.
Listen here to what I composed, improvised on these field recordings. It is fresh inspiration for me.

Healing Arts II
July 2022 Summer classes
Welcome to Healing Arts part 2. In the Healing Arts we use art to train our listening attitude. To listen to Inspiration and let it move us. This July 2022 edition consists of 4 meetings in which we use Art to discover something new in us. Part 1 has been a very transformative start for the participants. Now we continue. The Healing Arts summer classes have a more open character. You can join in the class you want or be part of them all.
THE FORMAT
The 4th of July 2022 is the first ‘part 2’ class. Sign up below if you are new to this, want to know more or participate. Here is the format:
- Before the next class you receive an EXERCISE to prepare something for class. The time you have to spend on preparation of your project for class is up to you, but a minimum of 30 minutes is required to allow some depth in your ‘project’.
- In class you will have time to present your project or actually PERFORM. It is much like improvisation. It does not need to be perfect at all. The most important part is that you DO this and go through the process to allow yourself to go through fear to come to a new FREEDOM. What a healing opportunity!!
When do we meet?
The classes are held at Monday’s at noon Central Time USA/ Canada.

Nook of Solace
The honeycomb of my heart
In the summer days of life I gather nectar from blossoms of sweet qualities that grow in the garden of human souls.
I store the essence of tall flowers of forgiveness, of faint-scented buds of humility, and of rare blooms of lotus thoughts.
When snowflakes of wintery experiences and earthly separations swirl around me, I seek warmth and joy in the honeycomb of my heart. There I have often discovered Thee, O Bee Divine, sipping the hoarded sweetness of my devotion. In the hive hallowed by Thee I find my nook of solace.
from “Whispers from Eternity”, Paramahansa Yogananda, Self-Realization Fellowship.This is the starting point of a moment of sharing and joining in the self expression exercises that were given in the Healing Arts Class. This took place in a private setting and will not be available. However in the following video you will see some of the artwork made by the participants of the class.
The Introduction
Art Exercise
- One of the assignments was this:
- blindfold yourself or close your eyes,
- pick up a pencil
- start moving the pencil on the paper
- be present letting your hand move
- try to let go of making something
In the following video I glued my camera to the pencil and you see what happened. In the mean time I use a vocoder voice to express voice as a support in a new way. Enjoy:

Timelessness
Just received an invitation of the De Pont Museum in the Netherlands. The first paragraph goes like this:
De Pont Museum is delighted to announce the opening of Time Changes Everything, the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands of Icelandic artist #RagnarKjartansson. The artist’s wide-ranging and internationally celebrated body of work — comprising performances and video installations, as well as painting, graphic work, and sculpture — occupies a unique position in the contemporary art landscape. This survey show at De Pont encompasses the full diversity of the artist’s oeuvre, presenting well-known pieces alongside new installations.
Excerpt of the email invitation by De Pont Museum, Tilburg the Netherlands.I read a little further in the email and stumble upon the word #timelessness . Curious what they share now:
TIMELESSNESS
The use of extended repetition as an effect recurs throughout the exhibition. To surrender to it is to be sucked into and then lost in a timelessness that sees narrative and action receding into the background.
Bliss (2020), for example, is a live video recording of a 2011 durational performance in which the closing aria from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro is sung continuously for 12 hours, immersing the viewer in a mesmerizing mantra of love and forgiveness that puts the stamina of the performers to the test.
Excerpt of the invitation email of De Pont Museum Tilburg.Listen to the closing aria from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, for 12 hours!!!.. is going to bring me in a state of TIMELESSNESS?!!!! Interesting idea. You have to experience this if you feel like it. Which part of the aria? See below, this performed by the #BayrischeStaatsOper.
Spring into Heaven
Imagine singing it or listening to this part of the aria for twelve hours. Not my experience of TIMELESSNESS. Exhaustion, yes! It might be a healing experience for you in a whole new way. To become so exhausted in the human drama that you finally feel the urge to let go of it in it’s entirety or it might go like this: being so immersed in the #beauty of it that you spontaneously spring into #Heaven you can do that in the first minute listening to it. I will join you!

Monotonatic
It must be a new word, #monotonatic my spelling check does not recognize it. Great! One thing you learn when you learn to play a wind instrument, like I did with the trumpet, is that you play a lot of the same tones, long tones, to perfect the sound. In visual arts when you use one color we call it #monochromatic, you know this.
Today I was exploring an art exercise in the Healing Arts Project . The assignment is to play one tone and by making it dynamic, listening well, changing velocity, using rhythm or not and filming yourself doing it. Blindfolded or not.This to get in touch with what you hear and to learn to become present in listening. To listen with your whole mind instead of ears.
It is a great pleasure for me to do this. I like simplicity and purity. #Minimalism starts with this. “Breaking silence to experience silence deeper”
I love it and got really into it today. In #Ableton I played with “Brushed bells” a sequence and copied that in other MIDI tracks opening different instruments to play the same monotones. Added some #chorus and #reverb to some instruments and mixed it into a #canon. One track starting two bars after one another. One of the instruments is even vocals.
To supplement this #simplicity with images I added a mix of short video recordings and stretched them to the right fit.
See and listen for yourself.

Starting my artistic upgrade
Healings Arts. Using the arts as a healing medium for ourselves. To heal from what? To heal from our own habits, ideas, limits, concerns and time. Can art help with that? You will see.
Listening
In the Healing Arts Project that we do, we exercise meditation, becoming quiet, becoming present. That is a great help to be able to start to listen, to listen to what moves you and to become aware of that inner impulse or spark that makes you do what you do. But let us not run too far ahead. Like I said it is a project, so bear with me.
Introduction
In the next video I share with you an introduction to this project.

Creative Healing Arts
My experience
My awakening process has been an incredible possibility to discover the reality of Who I am through the “CREATIVE EXPRESSION” that has taken place through me as an instrument. In making posts and video’s for this website and the Youtube channel more and more possibilities open up to experience my CONNECTEDNESS through the application and use of the ARTS.
>> The JOY of this experience for me I want to extend to you in this new series of “Summer classes”
WIM HAVERKAMP, IWIHUB.COM / URTEXTACOURSEINMIRACLES.COM/ MOVEDTOTHIS.COMThe ARTS
The arts we use in the upcoming classes are all part of my own journey and as such you might recognize it. It is a possibility for a discovery of the way you express your Self. In your transformation arts are so helpful in allowing changes to occur and become like little children.. It is a great wat to loose track of time and just enjoy!!
