This is an invitation to slow down—and listen from the inside. Join us for a Sound Healing Retreat & Sound Healing Training 101.
About this Event

Join us for a 2 full days: 2/28 & 3/1 (11 am-6 pm) Sound Healing Retreat & Sound Healing Training 101, a safe space to connect with ourselves & the medicine of sound & mindfulness. This container is created for mental health professionals, practitioners and those who are feeling the call to heal themselves through sound. As well as those who value both integrity and heart centered connections. We believe when we build a relationship with sound & are aware of how it helps us, we are able to show up embodied in our practices.

Through sound, mindfulness, and gentle somatic awareness & practice, we’ll explore how healing begins not by doing more, but by noticing by being in the present moment, a moment of stillness in the midst of the chaos —by tuning into breath, sensation, emotion, and the subtle signals of the nervous system.

Sound is offered as a supportive presence rather than an intervention—helping the body soften, the mind settle, and the heart feel safe enough to open.

This retreat blends:

  • We will open up each day with intention setting, healing circle, cacao or a grounding herbal tea, intuitive journaling led by Iris for us to release what no longer serve us & connect with our own intuitive guidance.
  • Followed by an opening Reiki & Soundbath to align our energy centers in order to ground into our hearts. Each day we will close with a grounding soundbath for us to feel rejuvinated. (Reiki is optional)
  • As well as to build a relationship with sound instruments & our bodies.
  • Understanding of our nervous system & regulation.
  • Mindfulness and somatic practices grounded in felt sense
  • A curious exploration of our spiritual connection as meaning, coherence, and inner awareness.

Whether you are looking to integrate sound into your therapeutic work or simply need space to reconnect with yourself for your own practices, this experience offers a way to come home—rooted, present, and supported.

  • Come as you are
  • A Safe Space for BIPOC & LGBT+ community
  • Leave more embodied, resourced, and connected

Sound Healing Retreat & Sound Healing Training 101

A Trauma-Informed, Mindfulness-Based, Heart-Centered Experience

This retreat and foundational training is an invitation to come back into the body—slowly, safely, and with intention.

Designed for mental health therapists, coaches, and helping professionals, this experience integrates sound healing, mindfulness, somatic practices, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and reconnection to self.

Rather than focusing on techniques alone, this retreat emphasizes felt sense & play to really get out of our heads—learning to notice what is happening in the body, moment to moment, and using sound as a gentle pathway toward regulation, integration, and presence.

Spirituality is held in a grounded way, honoring personal meaning, inner awareness, and connection, while remaining aligned with ethics, scope of practice, and trauma-informed care.

What This Experience Includes

  • 2 full days: 2/28 & 3/1 time: 11 am-6 pm (Limited on site parking available)
  • Foundations of sound healing through a trauma-informed lens.
  • Mindfulness practices that cultivate interoceptive awareness, present-moment attention, and emotional regulation
  • Somatic techniques to support safety, grounding, and nervous system resilience
  • An introduction to the chakra system as a reflective framework for emotional and energetic awareness (non-pathologizing, non-prescriptive)
  • Exploration of neuroscience principles related to sound, rhythm, and regulation
  • Experiential sound journeys focused on heart coherence, safety, and self-connection
  • Guidance on how to hold space in a way that supports attunement, consent, and ethical care

This retreat balances clinical understanding with embodied experience, allowing participants to both receive and learn—without pressure to perform or “fix.”

Who This Is For

  • Licensed/Associate mental health therapists, counselors, practitioners, coaches & helping professionals.
  • Somatic, mindfulness, and body-based practitioners
  • Anyone seeking a grounded, intuitive introduction to sound healing.

No prior experience with sound healing is required.

Instruments will be provided for hands on experience.

What You’ll Leave With

  • A deeper connection to your body, nervous system signals, as well as building a relationship with sound instruments, and hands on experience.
  • Practical, mindfulness-based sound healing tools for self-regulation and co-regulation.
  • Mindfulness practices to incoporate during sound healing
  • Increased confidence in integrating sound in a way that is conscience, trauma-aware, and clinically informed
  • A felt sense of calm, clarity, and inner alignment

This is not about transcendence or bypassing.
It is about being with what is without judgement, gently, compassionately, and safely.
