In this day and age of instant gratification, many people are taking quick workshops where, in the matter of a weekend, one can become "certified" to become a sound bath practitioner. The unfortunate reality is that these certifications really only mean that you have spent a few dedicated hours towards a modality that has yet to been fully embodied, and has nothing to do with the actual quality of what you can potentially offer. Sound, vibration, and energy can be very effective healing modalities, but only when the sound practitioner is able to truly hold space safely for both themselves as well as for others. So many recipients have felt energetically "zapped" from sound baths that were way too loud in both volume and intensity in an unprotected, ungrounded space. Many practitioners are turning the sound baths into a "performance" when really, the focus should be on the receiver and their energetic needs. For this reason, I am happily offering sound bath lessons for those who are interested in truly creating an energetically safe space for their craft, while learning how to actually listen and play their instruments effectively and with conscious intention. 

Lessons will include:

How to incorporate stillness and presence as well as being truly present throughout your session.

How to listen as a classical musician would to effectively play a beautiful tone both sensitively and subtlety as well as playing with full volume without having it feel or sound forced.

How to clear and ground your space to create a clear, safe energetic container both before and after a session.

How to hold space for your participants so that they (and you!) are safe from being open to energetic entities and astral pests. 

How to choose instruments that suit the energies of different soundbaths you may want to offer.

How to choose the right frequencies, notes, scales, balance, and mood for what you want to offer. A necessary lesson in music theory! 

How to create a program for your session, and to know when to stick to it, or to drop it altogether by reading the energy in the room.

How to beautify your space to make the sound bath memorable and delightful for the five senses from the moment participants enter your space to the moment they walk out. 

Lessons will be personally catered to you and are appropriate for complete novices as well as those who have had some training and want to expand upon what they have already learned from others.  For most, weekly lessons are ideal for the best rhythm for learning to play effectively, and all lessons are held in person in Culver City, CA.

Lesson packages include four instructional 90 minute sessions as well as on-going emails, texts, and phone calls. For the fourth session, you will set up, design, and conduct a sound session for me. Following the sound bath, I will offer some gentle, constructive advice and suggestions so that you will feel more comfortable beginning to play your own sessions for others. Lesson packages are priced at $1111-. If desired, additional lessons can be scheduled at $111- per hour.
