Embracing the New Year Through the Alchemy of Singing Bowls and Sound Healing

January 3–7, 2022

with Deva Munay

Sound Healing is one of the oldest and most natural forms of healing known to our planet.

Modern science is now reinforcing what ancient cultures have always known: We live in a vibrational world. A world of frequency.

Frequency can either uplift us and make us feel better, or it can be draining and can weaken and dull our senses. By using sound healing intentionally, we have the opportunity to aid in our own healing processes, improve our well-being, and embrace higher consciousness. We will dive deeply into the science of sound while immersing ourselves in the healing vibrations of alchemy crystal singing bowls, sound healing instruments, and our own bodies as resonant chambers.

The power of sound can be deeply nourishing as it restores our mind, body, and spirit back to a state of balance. The vibrations emitted from crystal singing bowls entrain our brain wave patterns, calm our hearts, soothe our nervous systems, and harmonize and balance our chakras.

The Alchemy of Singing Bowls and Sound Healing is an experience designed to uplift your energy, align your chakras, soothe your anxiety, harmonize mind, body, and spirit, and help you feel centered and at peace as we enter the New Year.

  • Using the seven main chakras, you will journey through your subtle energy system to re-harmonize, energize, and enhance your well-being on every level — physical, emotional, and spiritual.
  • Through a blend of guided sound journeys, breathwork, gentle movement, brainwave entrainment, journal exercises, experiential activities, and group discussion, you’ll be empowered with new practices to take home that will continue to nourish you and provide direct experience with sound and vibrational healing.
  • You will learn the qualities of a variety of crystals, and how to use them to balance your chakras.
  • You’ll also learn the basics of how to play Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, how to create monaural beats for brainwave entrainment, and how to choose the best alchemy for your personal transformation.

Enjoy this incredible journey with your guide, Deva Munay, and learn the science, the technique, and the magic in applying innovative sound healing techniques to your daily life in order to balance your energy, nourish your chakras, and manifest personal well-being.
