Learn the Principles, Practice and Protocols of Sound Healing

Use the Tools of Healing Sound to Shift Consciousness, Raise Vibration and Create Transformative States in Yourself, Clients and Groups

~~~~~

Do you love sound and the way it transports you and others to expansive realms? Have you felt a quickening when using sound, or have you found it easier to flow deeper into yourself when pure tone is used? Do you desire to learn the principles of sound and healing so that you can use these effectively in your own practice or with others? This training will help you with all of these...

The training begins in rural Fredericksburg VA,  at A Place to Gather, a retreat cabin close to the historic battlefields in a quiet country setting. We start off with a Healing Sound Immersion, in which all the instruments taught in the workshop will be performed: crystal bowls,  Tibetan bowls and bells, gong, sacred drum and rattles, and tuning forks.  This introduction will be a purely experiential, bathing you in a pure sound healing experience, so the only expectation is to be in-the-moment with no mind-oriented activity. Bring a pillow to lie down for an hour of pure sound immersion.

After processing the immersion experience, we learn about vibrational healing; the nature of sound; states of consciousness and how to shift vibrational patterns in the human energy system; morphic resonance and tuning into energetic fields created by ancestors and healers of the past; kingdoms of Nature which aid in changing our vibration (devas, angels, plants and animals, crystals); and sacred geometry. These are the principles you will need to do a sound healing session by yourself, with an individual, or with a group.

Lunch break at noon; bring your own bag lunch or use the kitchen to heat food and beverage. It is ten miles to the nearest eatery so driving is not recommended.

In the training Mark will demonstrate a hands-on sound healing session, discuss how to play, and how NOT to play the traditional instruments of sound healing.  Afterwards we will break up in pairs to practice these techniques.

We will delve into the more esoteric aspects of healing including overtones and harmonics; boundaries and the healing presence; allowing and entrainment; working with groups and in nature.

Following lunch there will be more hands on practice with the instruments; and time for questions, and a forward glance at the future of sound healing and what YOU can do with your skills.  A closing circle of gratitude will complete our training.

Is this for You?

Do you have a desire to help others, a penchant for healing, a feeling of mission to make an impact in the world? Do you love deep states of contemplation and meditation, and social venues where others resonate to those frequencies? Are you attracted to pure tones which quiet the mind? Or do you simply wish to fine-tune a method of delving deeper into your own stillness, and creating daily balance? Then Sound Healing may be just the modality for you!

Training Goals

The participant will be given a global perspective of the esoteric and metaphysical aspects of sound and its relationship to Nature and the human energy system. She will be introduced to the main instruments used in Sound Healing, and will have had a chance to practice hands-on healing techniques. Fundamental principles of vibrational and energetic healing will be shared and experienced. A full Sound Immersion experience comprised of diverse ethnic instruments will be felt and processed. And a forward glance into the future of Sound Healing as a vibrational medicine complementing allopathic methods will be discussed. Concepts and practices needed to conduct personal and group sessions will be imparted, so that with practice, she will be able to share the gift of sound in a grounded and professional manner.

 Certificate of Attendance given at completion of training Sunday: Foundations, Practitioner, or Certification

Teacher Training
Teachers of Sound Healing will go through student training two times (or at the instructor's discretion dependent upon experience following intitial training) and be give a chance to present the material to new students. In addition they will create and facilitate several types of sound healing experiences in public venues. One on one consultations with the lead instructor will be provided throughout each step of the program. Special projects will be individualized to meet the goals and interests of the Teacher in Training.  At the end of this training will have the tools and experience to conduct classes on Sound Healing.

About the Facilitator

Mark Torgeson has a degree in music, is a practicing Reiki Master and energyworker of 30 years, and has performed music for 40 years. He has produced over 32 albums of transformational music and sound which have aired on all continents. He has taught workshops on Healing Sound since 2008, facilitates Healing Circles, conducts  concerts of transformational music, co-facilitates vibration-raising retreats and grid-activation events, and has cofounded Global Centers for Planetary Awakening for creating new paradigm communities.

Mark's interest has always been to promote self-actualization and an increased sense of well being within the body/mind system. He has utilized his formal classical training to produce a body of music and sound designed to both calm and energetically incite the human spirit toward more expanded states of awareness. He says, “I’ve never desired to create simply beautiful music, but a form which will intrinsically be of use to others. The most important use of sound today is as a tool for healing and transformation. We are at the brink of a major evolution of consciousness, and we need all the tools within our grasp to help keep pace with the changes. Sound - as a manifestor of transformation between dimensions - is one of the most important tools we can use."
