You will also enjoy deeply nourishing, chef-crafted vegetarian meals.
This training is ideal for wellness providers (yoga teachers, therapists, meditation teachers, hospice workers, addiction specialists, massage therapists, estheticians, energy workers, etc.) looking to add an additional healing modality to their offerings. It is also fitting for sound enthusiasts as well, who want to expand their knowledge and avenues of personal healing. You will graduate from this training with the tools to offer sound as a form of healing and wellness in both group settings and in one-to-one spaces.
What is Sound Therapy?
What should I expect?
Prepare to be immersed in a supportive community of wellness providers, learn from expert Sound Practitioner Jessica Cross, eat well, nourish your heart and soul, and make lasting memories.
You will find that our retreat offers a balance of in-depth, hands-on learning and time to restore and uplift your whole being.
Jessica Cross has thoughtfully curated the course content based on hundreds of hours of training and years of providing sound therapy. The training group will journey through sound healing foundations, demonstration and practice of the singing bowls in group settings and one-to-one spaces, as well as how to work in collaboration with complimentary providers.
At this retreat, we will do our best to disconnect and honor digital mindfulness. We will ask for your full presence and awareness when exploring the ancient meditative techniques and healing tools that sound therapy provides.
