About this Event
One bowl near the feet, two by the head, the rest arranged around them. You strike, and everything after that is yours: how close, how loud, how long you let the silence stay. You learn to set bowls around someone resting, to notice how they answer a frequency, and to stay steady while they arrive.
Over three days Dhiraj teaches both halves of the work. One-to-one sessions, where you play for a single person and listen for what comes back. And group sound baths, where you carry a whole room and learn how much space to leave in it. Alongside that: Tingsha, water-filled bowls, and the way water softens and shifts a bowl's tone.
What you can do at the end
Not a list of topics, just skills you can put to work straight away.
Guide Attentive 1:1 Sound Sessions
Setting the bowls around someone resting is the easy part. The listening is the skill: checking in, noticing how comfortable they are, and shifting your tempo, volume and silence while the session is still moving.
Hold a Whole Room
A group sound bath asks something different of you than one-to-one work: pacing, volume, and the confidence to let silence stand. You practise with real people in the room, not on a demonstration.
Work with Singing Bowls, Tingsha & Water
You work with Himalayan bowls until the tone comes when you ask for it. Tingsha to open a space and to close it again. And water in the bowl, which changes how it sounds and how it fills a room.
Begin Offering This, Not Just Practising It
Pricing, how a session is built, what to say before and after, and which bowls are worth owning. You leave ready to hold your first paid session.
How It Unfolds, Step by Step
From foundations through to integration.
Day 1
History & Foundations
Where sound healing comes from and the principles underneath it, the music theory you actually need, and the science behind how it works. Plus the ethics of this work and how to pass it on responsibly.
Day 2
Techniques & Instruments
Hands-on the instruments all day: Himalayan bowls, mallets, padded beaters, Tingsha and water-filled bowls. How to play them, how to move between them, and how to clear a room with sound.
Day 3
Practice & Integration
Full practice sessions: guided group sound baths and one-to-one work, with feedback from Dhiraj and from each other. You leave having led real sessions, not having watched them.

Singing Bowls from India: Play Them in Heilbronn, Take One Home
Dhiraj brings bowls from India to Heilbronn. You play them across the weekend, compare them properly, and learn what actually matters: wall thickness, fundamental tone, how long a note carries. If you want one, it goes home with you on Sunday.
