A Full-Spectrum Experience
Our comprehensive sound healer training programs provide participants with skills and knowledge needed to facilitate guided meditation and sound healing experiences. Through hands-on training with a variety of instruments, participants will directly experience the power of sound as a tool for mental, physical, and spiritual attunement. Participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments (instruments will also be provided as needed, and a variety of sound-healing instruments will be available for sale). The weekend will include a sound bath, interactive discussions, group exercises, and a “Sound Healer Open Mic” (friends and family welcome, free of charge).
*A certificate of attendance will be issued to those who fully complete the workshop.
We will be exploring:
The Space: creating a hygienic container for healing and meditation, ceremonial architecture, aromatherapy and multisensory considerations
Sound and Silence: cosmology, frequency theory and the nature of vibration, conscious listening
Modalities: exploring global perspectives and traditions of sound-based therapy
The Voice: understanding our first instrument and the power of the word
Instruments: hands-on training with a variety of tools and ancestral instruments used by sound facilitators
Sound and Music Theory: demystifying the language of music and systems of music theory
Harmony: mental, emotional and physical balance, healing and meditation principles
*If you are experiencing financial abundance and would like to contribute more, your contributions can help make it possible for others who might not otherwise be able to receive this experience, and to support the work of the Sonic Institute and its collaborators
