Sacred Location in Rishikesh
Surrounded by forests, flowing rivers, and Himalayan silence, our retreat is located in one of the most spiritually charged places on Earth – Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga and sound. Here, every breath feels sacred, every sound more vibrant.

We honor the roots of Indian spiritual traditions while integrating contemporary science. From chanting mantras to exploring neuro-acoustics, you get a rich, holistic experience of sound healing.

We keep our groups small to ensure you receive individual guidance, mentorship, and a safe space to learn, grow, and heal.

This course helps you:

• Acknowledge the deep connection of mind, body, and spirit

Improved Sleep Quality
The calming frequencies produced by instruments like singing bowls and chimes help slow down brain activity, ease anxiety, and quiet mental chatter – creating the perfect environment for deep, restful sleep.

Deeper Meditation & Focus
Sound healing naturally guides the mind into meditative states by activating alpha and theta brain waves. This allows for greater stillness, inner clarity, and a stronger connection to your spiritual self.

Increased Energy Flow
Vibrations work on a cellular level, dissolving energetic blockages and allowing prana (life force energy) to flow freely through the body. This leaves you feeling lighter, revitalized, and more balanced.

Enhanced Creativity & Intuition
Certain sound frequencies stimulate the right side of the brain, encouraging creative thinking, emotional release, and intuitive insight—perfect for artists, thinkers, and healers alike.

Stronger Immune Function
Sound-induced relaxation helps reduce stress hormones, lowers inflammation, and supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms, ultimately improving immune system performance.

Chakra Balancing & Alignment
Each chakra resonates with a specific frequency. Sound healing helps tune these energy centers, clearing emotional blockages and restoring harmony across body, mind, and spirit.
