SOUND HEALING
CERITIFCAIOTN RETREAT
JANUARY 15-19, 2024

Sound can be used to synchronize our energetic  body, physical imbalances, emotional disturbances, and fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to.

​

Largely supported by modern science research yet dating back thousands and thousand of documented years from various cultures throughout the world, sound has been used as a healer since the beginning of all things for sound is the beginning of all things

 

 "By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur)." with spirituality to come back to the source of what you are. 

 

This is one-week intensive  opportunity to come to the desert + earn an official certification as an accredited Sound Healing  Facilitator  while experiencing the healing power of the desert in a retreat setting.
