A sound bath is an immersive sound experience. Once you are lying down and comfortable, I will take you on a meditative journey using gongs, singing bowls, chimes and percussion. Sound baths are great if you find it difficult to relax and let go. The sound gives your mind something to focus on and become absorbed in. The myriad vibrations can help your body release tension and your energetic system to shift imbalances and dissonant patterns.
Please bring anything you need to be comfortable. I suggest a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, bolster, teddy bear (optional). Please arrive 10 minutes before the start to get yourself settled.
Please read more about soundbaths below.

I rarely play the gongs loudly and so most people find the experience relaxing. However, the complex sounds of the larger symphonic gongs can be unusual and challenging for who are very sensitive or vulnerable. For this reason soundbaths are not recommended for:
-
Women in the first trimester of pregnancy
-
Children under the age of thirteen
-
If you have a metal implant or a pacemaker
-
Those experiencing severe mental health problems
-
Those affected by sound induced epilepsy

Sound Awakenings
A holistic & practical approach to wellbeing & happiness
This retreat is for those wishing to take their first steps into the world of sound healing.
We will explore why and how sound can be therapeutic. We will learn 3 simple vocal practices that can be used for a daily 'clearing & tune up', and how these can be expanded for more profound transformational work.
The 3 practices are:
-
Resonant Humming Practice - using breath practice and the internal sound of the hum to balance and tone the nervous system
-
Intuitive Vocal Sounding - feeling and sounding from our inner sense of self and state of wellbeing
-
Toning - using simple vowel sounds to balance and tune our energetic system and Chakras
We will also learn about various sound healing instruments and enjoy an evening sound bath.
With these methods we can look after our inner world, aid our physical healing and health and balance our energetic system. In this way, we become empowered with a holistic and practical approach to our own wellbeing and happiness.
All practices will be framed and contained by deep grounding and connection practices.
A month after the retreat there will be the opportunity to meet online for sharing and for a top up of sound healing.
I look forward to meeting you and to sharing the wonderful world of healing sound with you.
Claridge house is peaceful and restorative in itself and the staff are wonderfully kind and supporting. They will provide us with lovingly cooked wholesome, vegetarian meals and are always happy to help if we need anything.

3 Day Sound Healing Retreat - Claridge House
1st - 3rd December 2023, Claridge House, Lingfield, Surrey, RH7 6QH
Sound Coherence - Sounding the Energy System
Sound vibrates the body, moves the emotions, inspires the mind and touches the spirit. It is deeply relaxing, meditative and transformative.
This weekend we will be taking a deeper dive into the world and practices of sound healing.
We will be focussing specifically on our energetic system and Chakras. We will learn how sound is excellent at activating, clearing and shifting our energetic pathways, and how it can promote greater harmony, alignment and coherence within our entire energy system and throughout every level of our being.
We will learn about our Chakras, their aspects and associations, and begin to engage with these energies using intention, sensation and imagination. Connecting these faculties with our sense of hearing, we will explore how to intuitively vocalise from the experience of our own energy, our own sense of self and inner state.
Once we have begun to awaken our energetic sound we can begin to encourage greater balance and coherence through the use of intentionally therapeutic sound.
This will involve a practice that will progressively integrate the toning of vowels, visualisation of colour and sacred geometry, and planetary orbital frequencies - the music of the spheres.
Every practice will be framed and contained by deep grounding and Earth connection.
I will treat you to a healing sound bath and relaxing sound meditations that will guide through the process.
There will be the opportunity to meet online a month after the retreat for sharing and for a top up of sound healing.
I look forward to meeting you and to sharing the wonderful world of healing sound with you.

Sound Coherence - Going Deeper
Sound vibrates the body, moves the emotions, inspires the mind and touches the spirit. It is deeply relaxing, meditative and transformative.
This weekend we will be taking a deeper dive into the world and practices of sound healing.
Moving between intuitive vocal sound and intentionally therapeutic sound, we will explore how sound can shift, clear and promote harmony, balance and alignment. In doing this, we will begin to explore our own energetic system.
There will be group work where we will create coherent sound fields for each person to experience and also send this healing out to all beings and our beautiful planet. Every practice will be framed with deep grounding and Earth connection.
I will treat you to a healing sound bath and relaxing sound meditations that will guide through the process.

Vocalisation + Visualisation = Manifestation
(Jonathan Goldman)
In this workshop we will be focussing on our beloved Mother Earth and what we wish to manifest for the future of our planet.
After a deep grounding practice we will brain storm and heart flood our dreams and visions for The New Earth. I will recite these ideas back to you as affirmations for your mind and poetry for your heart. We will then put all of this imagery & energy into a vocal and Earth-tuned instrumental soundscape that will intensify and amplify our intention. This will generate a coherent field of charged sound & electromagnetic waves that we will radiate out across the Earth to all beings everywhere. This will be followed with more deep grounding and Earth connection.
With the remaining time I will give you a soundbath including some Earth tuned instruments.
For more info or to book this workshop, please contact me.
Sounding The New Earth
World renowned artist, Mr Wallace Chan invited me to include my therapeutic soundscapes at his 2022 Venice Biennale exhibition Totems, curated by James Putnam.
I installed 5 speakers above and around the exhibition space, playing 5 soundscapes designed to work together. Each was composed above a common frequency, that of one Earth orbit around the Sun - the frequency of 1 Earth year! Pure harmonic ratios combine with traditional sound healing instruments - gongs, bells, singing bowls, chimes - to create textures that represent both the eternal and ephemeral. Continuous, cyclical harmonies become ethereal settings for the emergence and decay of the gongs, bowls and chimes which drift back into the ceaseless stream of Earth overtones.

14th - 17th June 2022, Claridge House, Lingfield, Surrey, RH7 6QH
Sounding Intention
With sound we can look after our inner world, aid our physical healing and health, and balance our energetic system.
Before the retreat, I will ask you to decide on an intention to work with. Throughout the weekend we will 'sound our intention', exploring how it feels as the sound goes where it's needed. We will use our voice in simple ways, moving between intuitive voice and intentional therapeutic techniques such as humming, toning and mantra, supported and enhanced by sound healing instruments.
This will help to reveal and shift resistance, energising your intention so it may unfold over the following weeks or months.
I will treat you to a healing sound bath and relaxing sound meditations that will guide through the process.
A month after the retreat there will be the opportunity to meet online for sharing and for a top up of sound healing.
I look forward to meeting you and to sharing the wonderful world of healing sound with you.
