Sound in Your Hands

Hands-On Introduction to Sound Healing Tools is a practical, experiential workshop where you’ll learn the fundamentals of sound healing by engaging directly with the instruments themselves. Singing bowls, gong, tuning forks, and handpan will be introduced not as concepts, but as living tools you can feel, explore, and understand through your own body.

We’ll begin by gently breaking down each instrument—how it works, how to approach it, and how sound and frequency interact with the nervous system and emotional body. Handpan will be featured as a core instrument, and its basics will be introduced in an accessible, beginner-friendly way.

From there, the experience becomes hands-on. You’ll hold the instruments. You’ll play them. You’ll feel how different frequencies move through you and notice the emotional responses they create—calm, grounding, openness, focus.

Many people experience sound healing only by receiving it. If you’ve joined sound baths or sound journeys before, this workshop is your opportunity to step into a new role—to explore what it feels like to create sound yourself and to build a direct relationship with these tools.

No musical background is required. Curiosity is enough.

This workshop is for anyone who feels called to sound, frequency, and embodiment—and who’s ready to learn by doing.

You’re welcome here. Come discover sound through your own hands.

This is not a sit-and-listen lecture.
You will practice. A lot.

• Guided practice with singing bowls
• Guided practice with tuning forks
• Time to experiment, ask questions, and get feedback
• Short partner or small-group exercises (only if people are comfortable)

You’ll leave feeling less intimidated by the instruments and more excited to keep exploring.

This workshop is ideal if:

• You’re new to sound healing and want a clear, grounded introduction
• You already love sound baths and want to learn how they work “behind the scenes”
• You’re a yoga teacher, therapist, healer, or space-holder wanting to integrate sound tools
• You’re simply curious and want to explore a new way to relax, reset, and connect with yourself

No musical background is required. Just bring your curiosity.

• Comfortable clothing
• A water bottle
• A notebook & pen (for taking notes if you like)
• Optional: your own singing bowl or tuning forks
• Optional: cushion, blanket, or eye pillow for extra comfort during the sound journey

Hugo is a sound healer, musician, and guide who works with singing bowls, tuning forks, handpan, guitar, drums, and more to create immersive sound journeys.
He has years of experience leading sound baths, ceremonial experiences, and workshops, helping people reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and inner worlds through sound.
