Become a healer
Acquire the skill and knowledge to use the healing vibrations of gongs and singing bowls for physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Teaching sound at AUM is not a weekend retreat with a certificate. It is a slow, precise apprenticeship in how vibration touches a nervous system and what your job is when you hold the mallet. The same technique we pass to every cohort, the same room ethics, the same care for the guest lying on the floor.
By the end of your training you will have led real sessions in the ceremony hall, sat with real guests, and faced the moment every healer faces — when the room asks for something you did not plan. That moment is what the work prepares you for.

Instruments
Instruments you will learn
Gongs
Build a 60-minute gong journey from soft opening to full resonance and integration. Learn mallet technique, wave dynamics and how to read a room as the sound moves through it.
Tibetan Bowls
Tonal mapping, water and body placement, layered playing for groups. Understand which bowls belong to which part of the session and why.
Crystal Bowls
Quartz bowl care, intervals and stacking. How to use sustained crystal tones to open and close a ceremony without overwhelming sensitive guests.
Voice & Chant
Mantra, drone and overtone basics. Your voice is the one instrument you always have — we teach you to use it without straining and to lead a group through chant.

Fit check
Who it’s for, who it’s not for
You are a good fit if you are a…
- +Yoga teachers wanting to add sound to closing savasana
- +Massage therapists ready to layer bowls into bodywork
- +Breathwork facilitators looking for a deeper closing tool
- +Meditators with a daily practice who feel called to share
- +Retreat leaders who currently outsource the sound piece
It is not the right fit if…
- —Total beginners with no meditation or bodywork background — start with a few group sessions first
- —Anyone looking for a quick certificate to sell without doing the work
- —People who cannot commit to all four days — partial attendance is not accepted
- —Anyone in acute crisis — sound work amplifies what is present, and that needs a different container
- —Tourists looking for a fun afternoon — this is teacher training, not a casual workshop
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need experience?+
A regular meditation, yoga or bodywork practice is enough. You do not need to have played an instrument before. What matters more is that you have sat with yourself long enough to know what stillness feels like.
Will I get a certificate?+
Yes — a signed AUM Sound Healing Academy certificate of completion after all four days and the closing practical. It is not a government-issued license (no such license exists for sound healing) but it is recognised across the Phangan wellness scene.
Can I teach immediately after?+
You can hold gentle group sessions for friends and your own community the week after. We recommend a few months of practice before you start charging. The weekend immersion and private mentorship are designed for that next step.
What is included in the 22 000 THB?+
All four days of teaching across both modules — Tibetan singing bowls and gongs — daily Kundalini yoga with gong, use of every instrument in the hall, a printed sequence booklet, a closing ceremony with the cohort, and lifetime alumni access. Tea is included during breaks. Accommodation and meals are not included — see below.
Are accommodation & food included?+
No. We can recommend nearby guesthouses and our own restaurant is open every evening from 17:00. Most students stay within a 10-minute scooter ride of the centre.
