Sound Therapy Retreat

September 8, 2014 by Tony Nec

Sound Therapy Retreat, Island of Iz, Croatia

The Colour of Sound Institute ran a 7-day sound therapy retreat on the peaceful island of Iz in Dalmatia, Croatia from 30th August to 6th September 2014. The retreat was attended by 23 people from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, UK and Ireland.

The venue was Hotel and Kamp Korinjak on the edge of the small town of Veli Iz. In addition to the twice daily sound therapy workshops, participants could also attend free of charge yoga sessions, gong baths, mantra chant sessions, and sacred dance in the evenings. The hotel and camp is located right next to the crystal clear sea and is surrounded by a pine forest.

During the sound healing retreat we worked with Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, crystals, bells, tingshas, pendulums, gongs, drums, harmony balls, shakers, rattles and our voices for healing and transformation…

The team of facilitators from the Colour of Sound Institute were Tony Nec, Jane Satchwell, Cathy Edgar and Chaitanya Francesco.

We would like to thank Sonja for doing the translation from English to Croatian language, Suzanna for facilitating a laughter yoga session and Simone for facilitating a runes yoga session.

On one sunny morning we took a boat over to a small uninhabited islet were we did the runes yoga, sang chants and gave a shamanic drum healing session i=n a pine forest beside the sea.

Here’s a short video with clips from our trip to the islet…..

The sound therapy retreat also involved a series of guided meditations and sound ceremonies to activate the intentions of participants for their own healing and transformation. This is a very important part of the sound healing process.

Frequency + Intent = Healing

Jonathan Goldman summarised this in his first book; ‘Healing Sounds’ with the formula: Frequency + Intention = Healing.

The purpose of the retreat was to give participants a deep experience of the power of healing sounds and our unique sound therapy process.

We also taught people how to give sound therapy to others, providing a structured framework to begin practicing with family and friends.

Participants also have access to all the internet resources we provide for the Certificate in Sound Therapy, including videos, audios, eBooks and Workbooks.

These resources complement and extend the teachings given during the retreat, making this a very comprehensive learning and development process.

The Certificate in Sound Therapy comprises Level 1 in our professional practitioner training. Level 2 is the Diploma in Sound Therapy.

We are planning to return to Croatia in August 2015 to hold another sound therapy retreat to deepen and extend the teachings.

Free Sound Meditation Audio Recording

August 17, 2014 by Tony Nec

This sound meditation was recorded live at the Assembly Rooms in Glastonbury, UK at a workshop run by the Colour of Sound Institute.

The 3 sound meditation creators are: Cathy Edgar, Chaitanya Francesco and Rosemary Kessick.

Click on the red button with the white arrow below to play the sound meditation (listen with headphones for best effect):-

The 4-day workshop was the last in a series for our practitioner Diploma in Sound Therapy.

On each of the days, we taught and practiced advanced sound therapy techniques for working one to one with clients with a range of instruments, including singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, drums and more.

We also set up teams of 3 people who took turns in creating sound meditations and sound baths for the group.

This helped to develop their skills and confidence to create public events and run sound meditation groups, alongside their practice of working with individual clients.

On one day we went to the Chalice Well Gardens and did a silent sound meditation, listening to nature. We also did some group work with the Taoist Six Healing Sounds and other vocal activities.

Thanks to all the workshop participants who contributed to making this another inspiring event!
