Sound Meditation Training ~ Oct 5+6 and Nov 2+3

Weekend One Fundamentals in Sound

Oct 5+6 from 10am-5pm each day

An introduction to the science of sound, anatomy, and the history and traditions of sound healing. Together we will discuss and explore ways of meditating with sound to access deeper states of awareness. Time will be given to deep listening exercises and sounding with our voices. We will  explore different techniques and traditions that utilize sound. We will also begin to play with instrumentation through the sound healing tools available at Kikospace (Crystal Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, Bells, Rattles, Shruti Box) and a more in depth study of tuning forks and their benefits as an entry level instrument for therapeutic sound. This weekend will conclude with guidance on how to create a sound bath meditation/journey with time given to experiment and create sound meditations together. Those who complete this weekend will receive a certificate of completion in Sound Meditation Fundamentals from Kikospace.

Weekend Two ~ Sound Bath Creation

Nov 2+3 from 10am-5pm each day

Building upon the theory and practices developed over our foundational weekend, this second immersive will focus on the craft of creating sound baths. Participants will have dedicated time to play with graphic scores, develop unique sound journeys and sound meditations to share. Time will be given to exploring the different applications of sound meditations and details on the practical magic of bringing a sound meditation forward, from creating an offering, establishing a space, determining number participants, instruments, travel, set up, energetic hygiene practices and the responsibilities entrusted to you as a facilitator. Homework will be given in preparation for our weekend together so that you have time away from the studio to practice your craft. On completion of weekend two you will receive a Sound Bath Facilitator Certificate from Kikospace.
