General Information
My name is Niall Mc Guigan. I am a music therapist and musician. I have been combining music, storytelling and voice work with mindfullness and spirituality in workshops and concerts based at bringing people together beyond their personal ideologies towards a more compassionate and human perspective. As a music therapist I work mainoy with special needs clients such as Autsim, Dementia, Brain Injury and Mental health.
Mission and Objectives

To help bring individuals into a perspective of wholeness through awareness practices such as mindfullness and music.
When there is a perspective of wholeness  and contentment in oneself then we are truley ready to bring change into the world.

Main Projects / Activities

I have been touring extensively throughout Europe with my workshop Discovering stillness through music & self-inquiry.
"Discovering stillness through music & self-enquiry". This is an experiential music concert which offers participants the opportunity to recognize our natural state,  a state of "being" and authenticity through music, dialogue, and group voice work.​
The interactive nature of the concert and introspective focus unlocks our ability to observe and question the psychological mind using awareness and the natural curiosity of self-discovery.​
Music is an incredible tool which helps us to access a deeper connection with the heart as it is through the heart that we deepen our sense of "being". Through this connection, self-inquiry can begin to uncover our true nature, the heart of reality and an ever-present stillness within.
As a music therapist I will soon have my research paper "A hueristic enquiry into the development of therapuetic presence as a student music therapist" published in the peer-reviewed music therapy magizine Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

As a volunteer for events or possible entertaiment for events or workshops as a musician with a message that is in line with your mission statement.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I would like to be involved in a project that is influncial in bringing people together. Music is a fundamental part of this and I believe that I also have something to bring as an ethomusicologiist and music therapist.
