Himalayan Singing Bowl Therapy Training
Course Overview
In this course, you will gain a deep understanding and knowledge on how to use sounds and vibrations produced by Himalayan singing bowls (also known as Tibetan bowls), to improve health and well-being. We will also address skills and key elements such as intention setting, mindful presence, higher consciousness, and the ability to hold space.

Who is this Singing Bowl training for?
This 3-day hands-on course is intended for anyone interested in learning how to play the singing bowls in a therapeutic way. Whether you intend to play these instruments for your own personal transformation and development (*) or you desire to work with others, this course will empower you. This training is also appropriate for healers, teachers, occupational therapists, and other holistic health practitioners wanting to expand their skill sets and incorporate therapeutic sound in a group or a 1-on-1 setting.
There are no prerequisites to attend this course and no prior musical experience is necessary. However, it is very important that you come to the training with a positive mindset, i.e. a genuine curiosity, a deep desire to learn and grow, and openness. We will address topics that go beyond the science that you may have learned in biology and physics class as a teenager, moving away from Newtonian ways of thinking and into the realm of the quantum.
On a final note, it is also critical to us that you are able to understand and demonstrate authentic respect for these sacred instruments and the work that comes with it.
