About
The training
Do you want to enter a world of beauty, harmony and inspiration? A world where, with the help of sounds, tones and vibrations, you get in touch with your deepest origin? It's about coming home, both for yourself but and for those you will touch with your beautiful heart and unique expression in Sacred Sound. Welcome!
​I am very enthusiastic about now offering this unique training where old knowledge of Healing Sound is combined with modern science. Healing with sound is an ancient knowledge and sound therapy is the fastest growing field in traditional medicine and is of great interest in the research world. You can choose whether you want to join just for your own sake, or go all the way and get certified.

​
The medicine of the future will be music and sound
- Edgar Cayce
​
​
Many feel the need to go back to the primal and natural, to let the mind rest and instead let a deeper wisdom take its place. For this to happen, we need to re-attune ourselves to the slower pulse our earth and life itself vibrates in. We need to learn to miss down and listen so we can hear and strengthen our own unique tone and expression.
​
During the training you will learn to travel to the place where the source of all sound is. From this deeply meditative place, you have the opportunity to retrieve tools that assist you in shifting frequency, healing emotionally and physically, and opening parts of the heart that you didn't know existed.
​
You will reconnect and strengthen contact with the power and energy we find in the Nordic environment, with its magical nature, melancholic songs and changing seasons. If you have your roots here, or just a yearning here, this is an important part of coming home and strengthening your unique practice. As we are all children of the earth and the heart can be in different places, other traditions, songs and instruments are also important parts of the education to find your true expression.
​
​
Who is the training for?
​
This training is for you who say YES to discovering a world within Sacred sound and become even more yourself!
You've probably been touched by the transformative potential of sound and know now is the time. Time to let go of limiting beliefs that have held you back, and thus become freer, bigger, more beautiful in your imprint on this world.
​
You are a Healer, Yogi, Meditator, Musician, Therapist, Teacher, Leader, Caregiver, Philosopher, or Singer and want to incorporate sound therapy into your practice, do this just for your healing and development, or create a whole new career.
​
...and dear friend, of course you don't need to consider yourself able to sing or have a musical background to be able to work sabout healing with sound - we go beyond our western concepts of music in this. All you need is a longing to be more into sacred and healing sounds and a genuine willingness to take courageous steps into a truer, more authentic being.
​
Welcome to your golden path!

About the Arrangement
The training is an inner development journey over a year and follows the energy of the shamanic medicine wheel. We live comfortably, eat delicious food and work in the beautiful Himladal for one week in the spring and one in the fall - the place and the retreat form are carefully selected so that the surroundings will give you optimal conditions on your way.
​
After each course week, those who want to become certified will receive a homework assignment whose purpose is to strengthen you as a healer and therapist in sound.
After the first week, you can also start holding practice sessions with groups. After the second training week, you can start giving individual practice sessions as well as receiving treatments from your course colleagues remotely.
​
Life happens, and sometimes it's challenging to keep a practice, even though you want to. In order to give you the support you want, get inspiration and the opportunity to ask questions and exchange experiences with your coursemates, we meet twice digitally in the months after each course session. You also have access to a private Facebook group for your course participants as well as a common group for everyone who trained with us where you can interact.
​
The training to become a certified Sound Therapist is a total of 150h, of which teacher-led time is 90h and 60h (approx. 5h/month) for own integration and application in the home environment.
​
You have the opportunity to receive your certification in a festive manner at our annual gathering, which is open to everyone who has trained with us.
​
You can also choose not to certify and instead receive a diploma for your participation.
For those who want to start with a shorter introduction to SoundHealing, we offer inspiring 2-day retreats. Read more about the introduction here.

"I don't think I've ever been to a training that feels so right. I can understand the enormous amount of work behind a course weekend like this. But you, Ingela, just seem to be born to guide and heal others."
