About your workshop facilitator Al Hollinger:

For three decades, Al Hollinger has dedicated himself to the profound exploration of sound transformation through indigenous instruments. His journey began with crafting and playing flutes, didgeridoos, and hand drums, driven by a deep fascination with how sound can profoundly and positively impact human well-being. This passion soon evolved into a desire to share these transformative vibrations with a wider audience. Al began facilitating immersive "sound bath" experiences, with the symphonic gong as the centerpiece, complemented by a rich array of other instruments. He firmly believes that music serves as a powerful ladder for the soul, offering a pathway to deeper connection and inner peace. Beyond structured workshops, Al also finds immense joy in sharing his extensive knowledge and experience through casual performances, dynamic collaborations with fellow artists, and engaging instrument-making workshops, fostering a vibrant community around the power of sound.

Join us for a workshop that is not just about making a flute, but about embracing a creative journey and connecting with the powerful and serene sound of this remarkable instrument. No prior experience in woodworking or music is necessary – just a desire to learn and create.
