There are many ways to learn sound healing – but here at The Sound Healing Studio, we believe learning should be as alive and inspiring as the work itself. That’s why our training is rooted in hands-on exploration, personal guidance, and a space that feels both nourishing and creatively charged.
From crystal bowls and gongs to tuning forks, chimes, waves, and rain sticks – with generous time to explore them all. This isn’t just a quick demo; you’ll have the chance to play, experiment, and truly get to know the instruments. By the end of the weekend, you’ll have built your own unique relationships with them – a connection that will fuel your confidence and help you discover exactly how and what you want to offer through healing sound.
Which means you’ll receive personal attention, feedback, and encouragement, whether you’re brand new to sound or refining your skills. And woven throughout it all is our commitment to helping you find your own authentic way of working with sound – so that when you leave, you’re not replicating techniques but are carrying a practice that’s uniquely yours.
Your Level 1 Sound Healing Training Weekend
From the moment you step into the studio, you’ll be surrounded by a space designed to spark curiosity and connection. Over the course of three days, we’ll move between guided learning, group exploration, and plenty of hands-on time with the instruments. You’ll practice, experiment, and discover your own way of shaping sound –supported by experienced facilitators and an intimate group of fellow learners.
Day 1: Arrival & Opening
Day 1 is about arriving & opening – settling into the space, meeting your fellow participants, and immersing yourself in a full sound bath. This opening evening invites you to shift gears from daily life into the immersive world of sound, setting the tone for a potent weekend ahead.
Day 2: Immersion in Sound
Day Two begins our deep dive into sound science and the instruments. You’ll explore crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, tuning forks, and more – learning techniques, trying them yourself, and noticing how each one feels in your hands and in the room. Throughout the day, you’ll have plenty of unhurried time to experiment and connect with the instruments that speak to you most.
Day 3: Integration & Facilitation
Day Three builds on your growing confidence. We’ll move into group facilitation, layering instruments, and pairing sound with voice. You’ll learn how to craft experiences, get to practice on each other, and understand how to begin building your own sound healing toolkit. In addition, we'll explore crucial space holding topics, such as ethics, contraindications, and how to hold safe and expansive space.
