Hybrid course: 3-Day In Person with required 8 Module Online Pre-Course
​The gong is more than an instrument—it is a portal.
Its waves ripple through the body, fascia, and nervous system, guiding us into deep states of release, renewal, and blissful awareness.
The in-person training is held at our Desert Gong Chamber at our home studio of Myokinetix in Plam Desert, California. Here we have dozens of gongs ranging in size from 14-48 inches, which we use in our training and which you will have an opportunity to play and learn on.

​This certification is designed for practitioners, facilitators, and seekers ready to carry the gong’s transformative medicine into their work and community.
The Advanced Gong Therapies course is designed for practitioners ready to step into mastery. More than technique, this is a journey into the vibrational intelligence of the body, the fascia as living web, and the nervous system as a portal to healing.
Through the SVMT Method — Somatics, Vibration, Mindfulness, and Trance-informed practices — you’ll learn to weave the Gong into comprehensive protocols that support body, mind, energy, and spirit.

Graduates emerge as certified SVMT Advanced Practitioners of Gong Therapies, able to design and deliver advanced sessions for individuals and groups using Gongs as the main carrier of transformation.
