The power of the breath is one of the greatest tools of the healing practitioner. The breath connects us to life, vitality, power, consciousness, song, and speech. Creating music and sound through wind instruments is used in traditional healing cultures across the globe and speaks to the heart and the mind. The use of wind instruments is particularly powerful because to share music is healing for the listener but to play a wind instrument is also a consciousness expanding pranayama practice for the musician. We will cover how to play many different types of flutes, jaw harps, om wands, and the harmonica and will feature a 2-hour workshop on didgeridoo playing with AJ Block and Jerry Walsh from Didge Project. The majority of the wind instruments used in this workshop are of an intuitive nature so no prior music experience is necessary to attend this program.
Participants are welcome to bring their own instruments. We will provide didgeridoos and flutes for all participants to use.

About our 9-Month Sound Healer Training Program
The Dream Seed Sound Healer Training Program is an immersive multi-cultural/inter-tribal course designed to give people a hands-on approach to facilitating sound healing sessions. By bridging the fields of sacred music, energy work, and healing traditions, participants will strengthen their capacity as sound workers and will walk away with the skills and knowledge to be able to incorporate sound into healing sessions and meditative environments. Participants who meet the attendance requirements will receive a certification of course completion.
Throughout the course of this training, we will focus on various exercises to learn more about sound healing through intention setting, listening, giving, receiving, and developing our intuition in relationship to sound. Participants are encouraged but not required to bring their own sound healing instruments. Many instruments from around the world will be available for participants to utilize and a variety of sound-healing instruments will also be available for sale.
The training course will include a weekend intensive in upstate New York with Maestro Manuel, Taino Elder and visionary founder of Golden Drum, where participants will go deep into traditional healing practices from around the globe. Other guest teachers will be featured from the African and Indian musical traditions during various weekend modules.
