Sound Healer Training with Adrian DiMatteo


  • Golden Drum 97 Green St. G1 Brooklyn, NY, 11222 Unites States of America (map)

This comprehensive sound healer training will provide participants with the 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).
