This is a five-day training for those who feel called to work with sound — whether to deepen a personal practice or to begin offering it to others.
The heart of the week is a simple question: which instrument calls to you? Which one moves through your body like waves upon the ocean? Over five days you'll feel into that calling, build a relationship with your instrument, and learn to play from the center of your heart space rather than from technique alone.
John brings 30+ years of technical expertise — musical theory, yoga, and civil engineering — married to a profound understanding of the human nervous system. Ashley, a Sound Meditation Facilitator, Forrest Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Practitioner with 15+ years in the wellness space, brings the intuitive and energetic thread. Together they weave ancient healing traditions gathered from sacred ceremonies and revered masters across the globe with modern nervous-system science. The result is a training that honors both logic and intuition — and helps you find where yours meets.
The Flow
How the time is held.
Listening & Landing
Arrive, settle, and begin the slow practice of listening — to the instruments and to yourself.
Finding Your Instrument
Time with each instrument. Which one calls? Which one moves through you like waves?
Technique & the Nervous System
The technical foundations — hold, strike, sustain — alongside how sound moves the nervous system.
Playing from the Heart
Moving from technique into intuition. Playing not to perform, but to hold.
Offering & Closing
Each participant offers a short practice. A closing circle to carry the training into the world.
