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.
Always open
You do not have to wait for a cohort. Choose a master, tell us the dates that suit you, and we build the training around you — one-to-one, at your pace.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
All four days of teaching across both modules — Tibetan singing bowls and gongs — daily morning yoga, 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.
