Bio of the guest Robin de Haas Born and raised in Switzerland, Robin De Haas has received many prizes in his singing and academic studies. He pursued a grant as soon as he started his professional singing studies and studied with many teachers in Europe and the U.S.A, such as Kurt Widmer, Anne Ramoni and Cornelius Reid. Attracted by pedagogy, he pursued the Diploma of Teaching Singing at The Conservatory of Music of Lausanne, Switzerland, which was completed with an award for his diploma work, “Lyrical Singing and Modern Singing, Two Worlds That Are Completely Opposed?” It was in the pursuit of research to find models of methodology and pedagogy that he met Lynn Martin, a professor of Breathing Coordination and Functional Anatomy at New York University, and Spencer Welch, a voice teacher specialized in contemporary styles. These meetings began a fruitful collaboration, the goal of which is to release accessory tensions and to realize vocal and artistic potential. In 2008, Robin was invited by Ms. Martin to assist her in the Master Class she gave at Sarah Lawrence College, one of the most prestigious arts schools in the United States. From 2007 to 2010, Robin creates various concepts that allow young singers to go on stage. "And now Sing" and "Don't Stop the Music" are a major success and lead to many contacts and opportunities for young artists to improve their skills and their network. In 2010, he is extremely busy between putting events together and bringing Breathing Coordination to politicians in Bern, Switzerland. That same year, he starts to work on the post surgery care for damaged voices that are sent to him by Lausanne city hospital. His results are commended by the doctors of the ENT section of the hospital. In 2011 he becomes the head of the training for Breathing Coordination practitioners and the first practitioners are certified in 2013. Recently, in 2014 Robin was invited to present his work in some of the most prestigious music schools such as the «Manhattan School of Music». He also collaborates with several members of the medical community for the application of his work in the filed of pathologies. Finally, in 2015 a major accomplishment happens when Robin’s book «La Voie de la Voix» is published by «Les Editions Favre», the largest French Speaking Editor of Switzerland. That same year, the breathing coordination practitioner training program created by Robin starts in the USA with a first group in Los Angeles. In 2018, "The Path of the Voice”, the translation of “La Voix de la Voie” is published and available now on all the book selling online platforms.

Harry Palmer is the creator of The Avatar® Course. He founded Star’s Edge International, the seminar management corporation that supervises the delivery of the Avatar® Materials. He is also an author, his first book “Living Deliberately” (currently available in 20 languages) describes his personal path to enlightenment and the subsequent insights that were to become the foundation of the three-section, nine-day Avatar® Course.

What was shared in this episode:
This episode is where Ariane reads the 24 chapters from “The Way We Came” by Harry Palmer.
Ariane Leanza Heinz is a vocal coach and artist consultant based in Zürich. She decided to do the Avatar course in 2001, when she felt her life was not moving forward. She had dreams of being an artist, writing songs and performing, but she was stuck in her limitations and seemed to go in circles. She tried many techniques, as she loves exploring and is an adventurer. After her Avatar course, her life started to unravel in the direction she chose. She released her CD, gave concerts and built a successful vocal practice in New York City.
Since then she uses the Avatar exercises to break out of her own boundaries and she realizes quickly all the goals she sets for herself.
The natural thing to do was to share this training with her friends and family, so she decided to take the training to become a Master and has been delivering the course since then.
“Every course brings me ten steps forward, I grow as a person, mother and teacher, it not only benefits me, but all the people around me.”
Excerpt from the book:
The Avatar Materials are designed and intended to be an effective means for inspiring the realizations and changes that will move you toward a stable spiritual awakening. They should be considered as means (tools), rather than doctrines. – Palmer, Harry. The Avatar® Path: The Way We Came. Star’s Edge International.

Excerpt from the book:
There are moments on The Avatar Course when all thought processes stop, and one becomes fully aware of existence without creating any reaction or response to it. Self moves beyond the scope of daily concerns, slips time and definition, and realizes itself as a facet of the description-less source in which all things, real or imagined, have their beginning. - Palmer, Harry.

Do you sometimes become lost, overwhelmed, and blank? Are you generally tolerant and compassionate rather than intolerant and judgmental? - Palmer, Harry. The Avatar® Path: The Way We Came.
