Welcome to the Great Octave Foundation

“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in”. Leonard Cohen

The Great Octave Foundation is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization devoted to advancing the use of MediSounds® sound-based meditation, as ladders to awakened consciousness.

The Foundation is dedicated to sharing a system that illuminates a self-guided path to inner wisdom. Based on ancient teachings, this methodology brings peace of mind, cultivates awareness and increases clarity in decision-making.  MediSoundds is based on the work of our founder, Shulamit.

Under the auspices of The Great Octave Foundation, her activities have included working with Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs throughout Israel during a particularly fraught time of conflict in 2002,  HIV positive men and women in Mexico City, and returning Iraq war veterans. In 2001 Shulamit was honored to give the keynote address in Washington, DC to introduce US Congressional Bill H. R. 808 to create a Cabinet Level Department of Peace.

Shulamit is the author of the highly acclaimed book, Kabbalah of Prayer ~Sacred Sounds and the Soul’s Journey, and the creator of the CDs MediSounds ~ The Path to Wholeness and  Vibration ~ Shulamit and the Drepung Gomang Buddhist Monks. She has taught throughout the United States, including at the Omega and Esalen Institutes.

MediSounds is non-denominational. Experiential and accessible.

“In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings, and the “Mind of God” is cosmic music resonating in 11 dimensional hyperspace.”
