Sound School - Sound Therapy Training Course

“The knower of the mystery of sound is the knower of the Universe.”

Sacred sound, when consciously and intentionally applied, is therapeutic and profoundly healing for the body, nervous system, and all aspects of our being. Sound Therapy, as both a medicinal experience and sacred ceremony, is one of humanity’s oldest healing arts. It is perhaps the most original of all arts.

Sound is also a science. It measurably changes matter and influences our physiology, emotions, and consciousness. When practiced with intention and spiritual meaning, sound becomes a powerful tool for releasing stagnant or low-grade energies held within the body while elevating awareness, presence, and connection.

In this immersive training, you will learn to work with pure-toned, high-frequency instruments as tools for meditation, healing, sound baths, and consciousness exploration. You will cultivate the art of listening, stillness, resonance, and harmonious communication through sound.

This training is open to anyone who would like to learn more about Sound Therapy and includes:

HEALING – Daily Sound Bath Immersions:

Each day, you will receive a meditative Sound Bath and listening experience designed to support deep healing, nervous system regulation, spaciousness, and creative activation.
