My HARP JOURNEY .....

Gwynna has always had a love of this beautiful instrument but never believed she could learn to play.
Her journey with the harp began while living in Australia.
In June 2010 quite by chance Gwynna was watching a TV program 'Australian Story' on Peter Roberts and she noticed her heart pounding and became aware she was having a spiritual as well as visceral response.
In that moment Gwynna knew she would be learning to play the harp.
Gwynna's life at the time was deeply involved in other areas but her mind kept taking her back to the story of this mans journey from furniture maker to Harp Thanatologist.
In late January 2011 on a car journey from Canberra (ACT) to Gosford (NSW) Gwynna had 5 hours of drive time on the freeway to just think.
The ideas just seemed to flood her mind about using live harp music as the instrumental tool in her plan to help people bereaved by suicide. The missing piece of the jigsaw to her plan.
Upon arrival in Gosford Gwynna found herself driving to Brandden Lassells workshop. He was a Harp maker she met a few years previously. It was as if Gwynna was on autopilot to his door.
When Brandden heard what Gwynna wanted to do; learn to play the harp to use in therapy with people bereaved by suicide it was apparent the Universe was assisting.
Just that morning Brandden had received an email about an upcoming Inaugural Harp Convergence in Melbourne at the end of March 2011. He flicked the email off to Gwynna and the first step was taken.
Attending this inaugural Harp Convergence was Gwynna's introduction to the International Harp Therapy Program (IHTP) and Christina Tourin whom Gwynna recognise as an Angel on Earth. Namaste Christina.
Gwynna enrolled in the Prep School of IHTP 2012 & 2013. Life still had a few more detours to clear the way for her to step into what Gwynna knows is her soul purpose on earth.
In April 2014 Gwynna attended the 6 day ESM (experiential specialty module) of the main training in Melbourne (VIC) Australia. A few more surprises were still to take place.
Training is an ongoing process that is proving very slow for Gwynna with the Lap Therapy Harp however she intends to continue learning as she can. Reverie Harp on the other hand has been designed so ANYONE can play and that is the key to ACCC being available throughout New Zealand.
Gwynna remains as passionate as she felt that night back in 2010 when her heart
raced and thumped as she listened to and watched Peter Roberts 'Australian Story' about following
his passion and purpose with the harp.
However she has realised her connection is profoundly with the Reverie Harp and is focused upon introducing this beautiful healing instrument anyone can play intuitively, into every province of New Zealand by end of 2020 to be used for Heart & Soul healing.
Gwynna has begun visiting the regions on invitation to introduce the concept of Anam Cara Care Centre - Reverie Harp Heart & Soul Healing - Good Grief Support to individuals and professionals alike who may already be working in the caring sector of community in any of the following;

The Reverie Harp is designed & crafted by Peter Roberts (AU) in collaboration with Jerry Brown and Matt Edwards from 'Musicmakers' of Stillwater, Minnesota.
A truly beautiful instrument to both play and be held within a cradle of sound.
Anam Cara Care Centre is now the NZ Agent for purchase from RobertsMusic (AU) and we are dedicated to bringing each harp into NZ at the best possible price.
At this point in time we now have Reverie Harps in Northland, the Hawkes Bay, Wellington, Nelson, Tauranga and Taranaki Provinces.
