Sound Healing Immersion Retreat & Training
October 6-9, 2022
With Kirk Jones, Rama Wes, & Kyla Sita
Come to this peaceful valley in Fairlee VT during the peak colors of fall foliage and immerse yourself in the healing powers of sound and movement while earning an International Academy of Sound Healing certification. Join us for three days of sound, vibration, intention, asana, breath, sauna, and community at this retreat & training.
Focused on using the time-tested sounds and vibrations of bronze bowls on and around the body for stress and pain relief and general symptom reduction, the training will also introduce various applications for tuning forks, chimes, rattles, crystal bowls, and gongs.
This immersive experience includes:
22 hours of sound healing training - learn, listen, feel, give, and receive
Restorative yoga with sound massage - deepen your postures and let go
Conscious connected breathwork journey with sacred sound - activate mental and emotional healing with sound and breath
2 vegan meals + snacks each day - be nourished with local ingredients and global flavors
New, expanded Level 1 sound healing manual - organized for ease of use, including photos and references to dozens of medical conditions
Group sauna sessions - feel the heat, unwind, release physical toxins, rinse off in the spring-fed brook
Shared farmhouse accommodations - stay in a beautifully restored farmhouse, 2 beds/room or upgrade to a single.
Registration: Only $1199
*Vermont residents may qualify for a VSAC advancement grant covering up to $799 tuition and $100 towards sound tools.

Kirk Jones, MS, Master Sound Healer, Evolvlove Sound Therapy
Kirk was powerfully drawn to singing bowls 21 years ago, attracted to the power and beauty of the rich, ancient tones. 10 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 over 1700 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.
