This introductory course on facilitating sound healing work (private sessions, sound baths, etc.) will cover what sound healing is, why it works, how vibration impacts consciousness, and will discuss ancient uses of the practice up to the present day. Participants will have the opportunity to both receive healing sound and to practice facilitating sound healing sessions. Members of Dream Seed will also share and breakdown their unique approach to using sound in healing contexts. This is an experiential workshop in which students will have the opportunity to play instruments and implement techniques discussed. Friday night will include an extended sound bath by Dream Seed.

This 9-Month, 120-hour in-person and online multi-cultural training course is designed to give participants a hands-on approach to facilitating sound healing sessions and using sound for personal enrichment. 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.
