Join our community of hundreds of trained sound bath practitioners.

For over a decade we've produced some of the largest sound baths in the country. This course distills everything we've learned, the instruments, the mixing, the musicality, and the meaning, into a practical training you can put to work immediately.

What you'll learn

A complete curriculum covering instruments, live sound, musical craft, and the deeper "why" behind the work.

Gong Technique

Master the gong from first strike to advanced playing, including "the singing of the gong," the shimmering, vocal-like tone that defines a truly great sound bath.

Practitioner playing a crystal singing bowl

Crystal Bowls

Learn tone, sustain, and blending across a full set of crystal singing bowls, and how to build waves of sound that carry a room.

Monolina

Add the monolina's rich, harp-like overtones to your palette, one of the most beautiful and versatile instruments in modern sound work.

Native American Flute

Bring melody and breath into your sound baths with the Native American flute, including phrasing that supports deep meditation.

Science & Spirituality of Sound

Understand why sound baths work: the research on nervous system regulation alongside the traditions and spirit behind the practice.

NO MUSICAL BACKGROUND NEEDED

Find your home in sound

You don't need to read music or have played an instrument to create beautiful sound baths.

We teach music theory the way it should be taught to beginners, gently, practically, and always connected to what you can hear and feel. Step by step, you'll become comfortable and confident in the world of sound and music, so the craft stops feeling mysterious and starts feeling like home.

Along the way, you'll open up the one instrument you were born with: your voice. Through simple vocal toning practices, you'll learn to use your own voice as a sound healing instrument, and experience firsthand how deeply it regulates and calms the nervous system, both for you and for the people you play for.
