About this Event
ABOUT THIS EVENT
You've heard the instruments. Now learn to play them.
Most people meet sound meditation lying down. This course is for the ones who got up afterward and wanted to know how it was done.
Over five Mondays, you'll work directly with the instruments (not watching a demonstration) but actually playing them. Every student shares an instrument with one other person, which means you get to practice in every single session.
What you'll learn
Week 1 — Tibetan Bowls. How to hold, strike and play the singing bowl. Learn the difference between hand-hammered, cast, aluminum, Japanese and Vietnamese bowls, how to best play the different bowls and how to hear when you've struck harshly that could affect a meditation.
Underneath all five weeks: how to approach these instruments with respect. In this tradition they are not objects. We will end with an understanding of how to create a sound flow that makes sense for your sound meditations.
Who this is for
- You own instruments and have never been formally taught
- You've been playing for friends and want to know if you're doing it correctly
- You want to hold sessions for others and need to know how to do it safely
- You're drawn to the instruments and want to start properly
