Certifications
The course/hours count as Continuing Education hours for Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®) only. You will receive a Soneiro sound training certificate at the end of the seven-day immersion.
How the training works
The training consists of online training (10 hours) and a residential immersive (90 hours) in Germany. The training is divided into three formats study and practice: two virtual classrooms take place via Zoom, certain modules in video form to prepare you for the in-person training, and in-person immersion which takes place during a seven-day training retreat experience in a beautiful artist community in Brandenburg, 90 minutes outside Berlin. Live sessions will also be recorded so you can always dive back into the material in case you miss a session.
The in-person training specializes in the therapeutic use of Himalayan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, the gong, metallophones and chimes, steel tongue drums, monochords, sansula, frame drum, and other melodic instruments as well as the human voice. The online course specializes in the therapeutic use of Tibetan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, and the human voice. Soneiro Collective also provides here and there guidance in using other melodic instruments, but it is not the main focus.
