Join Dream Seed for a special initiatory retreat into sound, ceremonial culture, healing practices, and musical expression in the Catskill Mountains for the opening our year longSound Healer Training program. Set in the peaceful energy of the forest, this immersive experience is designed to explore sound, ceremony, healing practices, and musical expression in a grounded and supportive environment.
We’ll begin with a water purification ceremony to deepen our connection with the elements and ourselves. From there, participants will engage in hands-on workshops covering the foundations of sound healing, space holding, and working with instruments, songs, and techniques.
The retreat also includes a cacao ceremony in collaboration with members of Dream Seed, time for community co-creation, and space to simply be—with nourishing home-cooked, organic vegetarian meals and the rhythms and sounds of nature all around.
*Please commit to staying for the duration of the weekend, so that we can create and maintain a supportive environment for everyone attending.
Retreat location is a private retreat center approximately 2-hours north of NYC. Participants who need transportation assistance can contact us at dreamseedsound@gmail.com
What is sound healing and what is it used for?
Sound is our essence. We are vibration. Sound is one of the prominent medicines of the Aquarian Age. The world is waking up to “new age” therapies rooted in sound and vibration that are in fact ancient. Sound rituals have been an integral part of indigenous and spiritual traditions and cultures worldwide for thousands of years. In every indigenous culture, it is deeply understood that sound is an essential element of creation, celebration, and well-being. Today, science is catching up to this understanding and sound is growing as a mainstream therapeutic practice for consciousness, healing, and wellbeing.

About our 9-Month Sound Healer Training Program
The Dream Seed Sound Healer Training Program is an immersive multi-cultural/inter-tribal course designed to give people a hands-on approach to facilitating sound healing sessions. By bridging the fields of sacred music, energy work, and healing traditions, participants will strengthen their capacity as sound workers and will walk away with the skills and knowledge to be able to incorporate sound into healing sessions and meditative environments. Participants who meet the attendance requirements will receive a certification of course completion.
Throughout the course of this training, we will focus on various exercises to learn more about sound healing through intention setting, listening, giving, receiving, and developing our intuition in relationship to sound. Participants are encouraged but not required to bring their own sound healing instruments. Many instruments from around the world will be available for participants to utilize and a variety of sound-healing instruments will also be available for sale.
