Healing Through Sound: This workshop will help you harness sound to release bodily and emotional holding. Learn simple practices using voice, movement, drums, Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks that can be applied immediately – either for personal growth and healing, or for working with clients. We will be drawing from ancient wisdom and contemporary science as we guide you through a variety of experiences engaged in listening, sensing, imagining, and sounding.
