Ceremony of Sound: Nada Yoga + Meditation Training
WELCOME!
Join us on this profound eight-week Sound Healing Training (80 training hours) that will guide you toward a deep understanding of sacred sound and inner silence. Rooted in the ancient philosophy of Nada Yoga (the Sacred Union of Sound), this course invites you to a transformative exploration from vibrations to stillness, unraveling the mysteries of sound, meditation, mantras, and their profound effects on your inner world.
The course delves into the theoretical and practical foundations of Nada Yoga, inviting unity through sound and silence, and exploring mantras to evoke joy, healing, and self-awareness. This journey teaches you to recognize silence as the very basis of sound and their intrinsic connection within you.
Nada Yoga is a philosophy and practice over 5,000 years old from India. Nada translates to the flow of consciousness and sound. We will study and practice the teachings of Nada Yoga (the ancient yoga of sound). Nada Yoga is one of the purest forms of yoga and sound healing, leading us into silence and absolute unity, opening new dimensions of sound.
THE INTENTION:
Our intention with this course is to craft a transformative journey aimed at assisting people in gaining a deeper understanding of the art of sound healing and connecting with sound’s subtle dimensions.
Drawing from our experiences as practitioners, we've observed that, despite some people being fully committed to their spiritual practices, there's often a missing element—a deeper comprehension of the sacredness of silence and the subtle vibrations that sounds are composed of. Throughout this course, we will explore mantras, soundscapes, notes, scales (both Indian and Western), chakras, and sound from a much more profound dimension than is typically taught. Participants will learn to perform rituals related to sound, as well as develop their voice through sacred chanting. We will delve into compelling topics such as the Unstuck Sound, the Spiritual Heart, ancient goddesses of sound, tantric teachings, and more. You will gain a deep understanding of the subtle power of sound and the healing vibration of nada, mantra, and the divine source of sound.
THE TOPICS AND TEACHINGS - WHAT WE WILL EXPLORE TOGETHER:
In the course, we will move through the different stages of Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) and explore each stage connected to different Sound Healing Dimensions, Soundscapes, Scales, Mantras, Yantras, and Rituals. Each week we introduce a new Mantra for you to practice (with your Crystal Bowls or any other Instrument). Also, we will offer you contemplative homework to explore the sacredness of sound and gain a deeper understanding of sound and its connection to silence.

Sound healing is gaining increasing popularity, and with good reason. The healing power of sound and vibration can have amazing transformative effects on the body, mind, and soul. Many of us are already familiar with the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls, but there is so much more to explore when it comes to deepening our understanding of sound as a healing practice and delving into its spiritual and ceremonial dimensions. This is where the Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl Course 1 and the Nada Yoga Training come into play. Read more about the difference between the Crystal Bowl Training and Nada Yoga Training here.
