Sound Bath Facilitator Training

Embark on a transformative journey to enhance your ability to facilitate and support healing through sound vibration in group settings. This training delves into the art of creating a shared vibrational field that transcends mere performance, turning it into a space of healing and connection for both the practitioner and the attendees. By developing a profound understanding of your instruments through deep listening and the principles of energy, you will cultivate both confidence and joy in practicing sound healing.

NOTE: This training has three parts. 1st and last sessions are on Zoom and 2nd session (March 1st) is in-person in Emeryville.

• Discovering your unique path: With fun daily practices, discover your way of approaching sound as a form of shifting energy and facilitating healing.
• Interactive Sessions: Engage in two dynamic sessions; an online interactive workshop followed by an in-person session (NOTE: if you are not local, please ask for online mentoring session instead). Additionally, we have one more optional followup session online allowing you to ask questions, summarize what we learned and how to move forward with your offerings.
• Practical Application: Gain hands-on experience with various sound healing protocols, including sequencing and transitioning.
• Continuous Learning: Access notes, practices, and recordings to deepen your understanding and refine your skills.
• Mentoring: The course includes a private mentoring session to help you perfect your skills and offerings.
• Community Connection: Join our private Facebook group and quarterly Zoom calls to share insights and learn from fellow practitioners.

• “Minna helped me feel confident in sound healing and offering it to people because I understood how it works and the techniques that I could always use. Most importantly, she also taught me to listen. To really listen to what my instruments are telling me has helped me build a relationship with them. This is something that I think separates Minna’s sound healing training. She will let you find your own way. And help you interpret your relationship with your instruments. It’s really a beautiful thing that minna cultivates during the trainings. I feel that every time I talk to minna I learn something new.” – Jade

Minna is so inspiring and supportive. I picked up a few ideas that have already fulfilled many of the reasons I attended this workshop. A renewed confidence in my potential in my abilities and continued clarity of vision” – Fran B.
