SOUND HEALING TRAINING
WITH CRYSTAL BOWLS

In person 17th & 18th October, 13th & 15th November and 5th & 6th December
at a beautiful location in Somerset,
held by Carly Grace.

START YOUR JOURNEY

This in depth training is a transformational journey, an initiation, opening a clear path of service to share sound healing, with integrity and presence.

Held as an intentional space, a home coming to your inner essence, to ignite your unique expression, and to embody your soul's inner gifts and light on this Earth.

The training is held both in person and online to offer support, care and integration in between each in person weekend.

Our in person weekends will be held at the beautiful Apothecary Gardens in Somerset, just outside of Glastonbury. The land is home to a working apothecary, where hundreds of Damask roses bloom in the summer, there is a stone circle on the land, a feeling of ancient wisdom meeting modern holistic practices, it is the perfect land to hold us. Each time I have stayed on the land I have found it to be deeply nourishing, the land is still and calm, offering wisdom in the quietness which will be the perfect foundation and holding for our time together.

This training will offer a beautiful dance of sound and stillness.

Coming home to our essence and remembering. This is the deep well from which we serve and share.

You will learn the expertise and skills required to play crystal bowls with sensitivity, softness and presence, how to create and hold healing spaces of safety, love and care. We will explore how to work with sound as a pathway to presence; for your own self practise and meditation and how to share professional offerings that support true healing and transformation.

In our time together we explore how to hold space for one to ones and groups. We will work with the crystal bowls to alchemise stored or stuck energy in the body and energy centres, which may be blocking your personal expression and unique soul's gifts, so that you can open up and share the gift of sound for yourself, with your family and community.

This sound healing training is much more than a sound healing training, it is a pathway, home to the heart,
to the essence of who you are.

On our final day we will have a day’s pilgrimage in Glastonbury, we will receive a water blessing at the Chalice Well, walk our prayers and intention at the Tor and complete with a private ceremony at the Magdalene Chapel, honouring all that has been received and initiating your path of service ahead.

Our time together will be a time of learning not simply through the content that is shared.

It will be a transmission, a weaving of wisdom, from presence and the embodied experience Carly has had from sharing sound worldwide over the past fifteen years. The alchemy bowls will also be our guides and vessels for transformation, their pure sound and gifts, guiding us back home.

During the training there is plenty of space for practicing, support and feedbacks, so that you complete the training feeling confident and embodied, so that you can step forward with this gift to share.

In between the in person meetings there is ongoing support, we meet weekly for silent sittings to root into stillness, there are online sound ceremonies for you to receive and learn through receiving, and a whatsapp group for questions and answers and ongoing support.

MEET CARLY

Carly was first introduced to the crystal bowls in 2011 whilst she was co-director of the London College of Spirituality.

One evening, a guest teacher from Singapore, Yantara Jiro, came to share the bowls.As he played, something happened that Carly had never experienced before. Her mind became completely still. Beneath the constant movement of thought was a profound peace that she hadn't known was there. She describes it as a deep remembrance.


That evening marked the beginning of everything that followed.

FINDING YOUR CRYSTAL BOWLS

Finding the bowls that are right for you is one of the most meaningful parts of the training.

Rather than simply selecting bowls, Carly personally guides each student in finding the bowls that are right for them. Time is taken to explore how the bowls sound together, how they feel, and which combinations naturally want to come together.

It isn't something that's rushed. There is space to listen, explore and discover which bowls you naturally connect with.

Over the years, people have jokingly called Carly a bit of a "bowl whisperer". Witnessing someone play the bowls from a space of deep listening it is felt when someone connects with their right bowl. Witnessing that moment, and supporting each student through it, remains one of her greatest joys.

Carly works exclusively with Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, which begin at approximately £980 per bowl. These bowls are infused with precious gemstones and minerals. Having worked with them for over fifteen years, they're the only bowls Carly chooses to teach and share with.

If you decide to train with Carly, she'll personally guide you through choosing your bowls as part of the training.

It is possible to stay on site throughout the training. Staying at Apothecary Gardens offers the opportunity to approach each weekend as a retreat, allowing space to rest, integrate and deepen into the experience.

This time offers the opportunity to deepen connections with your fellow sound sisters, to support each other, and to rest and integrate away from the day-to-day demands of life, held by the magical land and nature.

A selection of both private and shared rooms is available, with prices ranging from £65–£150 per night, depending on your choice of accommodation.

If you'd like to stay on site, please get in touch with Carly to explore the accommodation options.

The nearest train station is Castle Cary. If you're travelling by train, we're happy to help arrange a taxi from the station if needed.
