gong + sacred sound training
overview
Discover the Healing Power of Sound
“When the Gong is played with sensitivity, it is the voice of the universe itself.”
– Y. Bhajan
Step into the profound world of sacred sound and discover how vibration can regulate, restore, and transform.
This immersive 30-hour training is designed for yoga teachers, therapists, facilitators, musicians, wellness practitioners, and anyone called to explore sound as a pathway to healing, awareness, and deep presence.
Through direct experience, guided practice, and intuitive exploration, you will learn far more than how to play the gong. You will develop the confidence to hold safe, grounded, and transformative sound experiences while deepening your own relationship with vibration, stillness, and conscious listening.
Come and experience sound not simply as something you hear, but as something you become.
Resonance is medicine. Your presence is the instrument.
“When the Gong is played with sensitivity, it is the voice of the universe itself.” – Y. Bhajan
