Sound Healing School Level 2


Sound Healing School
Level 2

Advanced Sound Healing, Vibration Medicine, and Acoustic Technology


Dates: November 9 - 11, 2026
Schedule: 6 - 8 p.m.
Location: Mendota

Prerequisite: Sound Healing School Weekend Immersion with Laurie Wondra

register

Level 2 deepens both the practical skill and the embodied understanding required to work confidently with therapeutic sound. These evening sessions move beyond foundational theory and into the art of applied facilitation. You’ll explore, through direct experience, how sound and vibration interact with the physical body, the energetic field, and the subtle systems that shape perception, emotion, and healing.

Like in Level 1, you’ll be receiving the healing power of sound in your own body—periods of immersive sound journeys interwoven with hands‑on practice. This rhythm of receiving and offering helps you integrate the work somatically while refining your skill as a facilitator.

We focus on developing your capacity to design and hold intentional sound‑based healing sessions—for individuals, groups, and for your own personal practice. You’ll learn how to select and sequence instruments, attune to the needs of a space, and guide others through restorative, transformative sound experiences with clarity and care.

A special emphasis is placed on working with the gong, including how to create a cohesive sound wash that supports deep release, nervous system regulation, and expanded states of awareness. By the end of Level 2, you’ll have a grounded, embodied toolkit for offering sound healing with confidence, sensitivity, and artistry

This is a hands-on and experiential event. If you have singing bowls or other vibration tools, bring them – they are not required; Laurie has several bowls and tools for student use and experimentation so you can find the tones and vibrations that resonate with you.   Attendance is limited to 12 - save your spot now.


Sound Healing School Level 2 Faculty


Why should you consider this training?

This training is ideal if you feel called to deepen your relationship with sound as a healing modality and want to move beyond theory into embodied, intuitive mastery. With dedicated training in creating a cohesive gong sound wash and guidance in sequencing, attunement, and facilitation, this program supports you in becoming a confident, sensitive, and artful sound healing practitioner - one whose work nourishes both self and community.

Sound Healing School: Weekend Immersion

Dates: March 6 - 8, 2026

Dates: November 6 - 8, 2026
Location: Mendota

Schedule

  • Friday: 6 - 7:30 p.m.

  • Saturday: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

  • Sunday: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

No make-up sessions will be available.


Sound Healing, Vibration Medicine, and Acoustic Technology TM describes more than pretty sounds; there is science behind the therapeutic use of sound and vibration that has been used for thousands of years.  Decades ago, Einstein said it's the healing modality of the future, but its healing properties have been around for lifetimes.  

 In this weekend immersion, you’ll learn how vibration and sound benefit the physical and energetic bodies and how to facilitate healing, clearing, and expansion in yourself and others.  You’ll learn the history of sound healing, its uses, the modernization of therapeutic sound healing, and how to perform sound healing sessions. 

We cover the chakras, the vibrational frequency and the tone for each, and tones that relate to combined chakras.  We cover the link between planetary vibration and our physical meridian portals as well as combination-tones for specific energies.  You’ll learn how to choose your bowl/s, the purpose and use of other sound tools, and how to merge sound instruments with voice. Laurie covers singing bowl playing techniques, appropriate tools to use when playing singing bowls, and care of your bowls and other sound tools.  


You will be immersed in sound healing over the weekend as Laurie uses crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, Solfeggio tubes, chimes, bells, a rain drum, other drums, and additional vibration tools. You’ll experience in the felt sense of your own being the power and use of vibration and sound in the fields of energy.    

This is a hands-on and experiential event. If you have a singing bowl or other vibration tools, bring them – they are not required; Laurie has several bowls and tools for student use and experimentation so you can find the tones and vibrations that resonate with you.   Attendance is limited to 12 - save your spot now.


Sound Healing School Weekend Immersion Faculty


Why should you consider this training?

Through sound healing training, attendees learn to use vibration and sound to create a therapeutic environment to stimulate self-healing in themselves and others. From relaxation to reduced pain, sound healing can help people of all ages achieve better health and wellness.

 

Benefits of sound healing

  • Calms the nervous system

  • Encourages relaxation

  • Balancing stress and anxiety

  • Eases physical and emotional pain

  • Removes energetic blocks

  • Supports mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being

  • Healing on the energetic level

 
 

Historical roots of sound healing

The healing quality of sound has been recognized for a very long time. As early as 16,000 B.C.E. in Europe, and 40,000 B.C.E. in Australia, vibrational tools were used as healing instruments. In past eons and today, people use sound and music to find a sense of calm, to worship, and to celebrate. Sound and vibration have been part of the human experience all over the world since ancient times.

 

Sound Healing School welcomes everyone! No experience required.

have a question?
 
 

How does sound healing work?

The bowl releases vibrations that are absorbed by the body. Just as every organ and cell in each of us vibrates at a particular frequency, the sounds we create with singing bowls have their own vibration, one which helps the brain reach a level of deep relaxation. Sound healing befriends the noisy and overactive mind and allows transformation and healing to occur.

During a sound-healing session, many experience an altered state of awareness sometimes described as feeling “floaty”. Often there is a sense of reduced anxiety and muscle tension or a feeling of vast spaciousness. Medical studies have found that sound- healing vibrations encourage brainwaves to settle and enter a state of deep relaxation in the delta and theta states. This allows the mind to become quiet and still and the body to enter homeostasis, the state where healing occurs on all levels.

 
 

Required

Sound healing instruments are not required for attendance. Laurie has bowls and tools to use. If you have a singing bowl or tingshas, you may bring them. The Saturday Night Sound Bath is 5 - 6 p.m., optional, and open to the public.
