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 breathwork practice for the musician. We will cover how to play many different types of flutes, jaw harps, om wands, the didgeridoo, and the harmonica. 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 may bring their own instruments to use AND we will also have plenty of instruments for everyone to use.
*This workshop will be recorded and is available for video replay until September 2025 to those who register.

What is sound healing and what is it used for?
Sound is our essence. We are vibration. Sound is one of the prominent medicines of the Aquarian Age. The world is waking up to “new age” therapies rooted in sound and vibration that are in fact ancient. Sound rituals have been an integral part of indigenous and spiritual traditions and cultures worldwide for thousands of years. In every indigenous culture, it is deeply understood that sound is an essential element of creation, celebration, and well-being. Today, science is catching up to this understanding and sound is growing as a mainstream therapeutic practice for consciousness, healing, and wellbeing.
Classes will be broadcast and recorded via Zoom. Participants (both In-Person and Online) will receive near-immediate access to these recordings and will be able to access them until September 2025.
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.
