Level 1 Therapeutic Sound Certification // An introductory training in the therapeutic use of Bronze Bowls, Crystal Bowls, Gongs, & Tuning Forks
Attune to the rich, ancient tones and vibrations of large hand-hammered bronze singing bowls & gongs and the pure coherent tones of crystal bowls and tuning forks for healing and harmonizing the physical, mental, emotional, and etheric bodies.
This immersive training offers the opportunity to explore how sound healing works, how you can use it for relaxation, stress relief, pain relief, energy clearing, inner strength, and whole-body harmony.
Looking at ancient and modern theory, we will explore how stagnant and unbalanced energies affect the body, how sound and vibration work to heal and harmonize, and we'll learn leading-edge methods to awaken the healer within.
We will go over basic techniques of how to play each instrument and when and why you would use each one. You will learn how to give treatments specific to instilling deep relaxation, calming the mind, grounding, clearing the field, and entraining into whole-body coherence. You will learn effective and efficient noninvasive treatments for chronic pain, discuss treatment plans and cautions for dozens of conditions, and discover how to apply this knowledge in your life and integrate these methods in your therapeutic practices.
You will learn simple musical concepts (intervals, chords, melody, harmony, binaural beats) and how to use them to encourage peace and nervous system regulation for individuals and groups. We will practice holding compassionate space for each other, matching intentions, being present, and allowing opening for emotional release and integration for profound transformation.
Who is this training for?
This experience is recommended for current and aspiring healing practitioners, bodyworkers, lightworkers, therapists, caregivers, sound, meditation & yoga practitioners, spiritual seekers, musicians, and anyone interested in learning and using this healing science in supporting health for themselves and those they care about.
Will I receive certification?

Are instruments provided?

Meet Your Facilitator
Kirk Jones, MS, Master Sound Healer & Founder of Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy
Kirk was powerfully drawn to singing bowls 25 years ago, attracted to the power and beauty of the rich, ancient tones. Ten years later, he witnessed how singing bowls resonated with and elevated his own spiritual and healing journeys, so he decided to learn how to apply this to his own life and to help others. Since then, he has assisted thousands of people on their own healing journeys, bringing great joy, relaxation, pain relief, emotional release, spiritual upliftment, clarity, and empowerment. He is honored to use and share this sacred gift.
Kirk is a member of the Sound Healers Association, a facilitator for the International Academy of Sound Healing, and a consulting member of the Medical Sound Association.
Since 2011, Kirk has offered thousands of private sessions, 1,000+ sound baths, hundreds of workshops, and 111+ certification trainings across the US and Latin America.
The Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy, opened in 2016, has been recognized as a job training institution by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, offering grants to low-income Vermonters since 2017.
