Under the guidance of these remarkable scholars, doctors, healers, and sound practitioners, students will explore the healing potential of tuning forks, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, Sacred Gongs and Bells, indigenous horns, voice, drums, and other percussion instruments. Participants will learn the therapeutic application of these tools to create sacred space, shift and expand consciousness, address a range of physical conditions, restore balance, and promote positive change at the cellular level.

“Facilitated by the sacred sound of instruments like crystal singing bowls and tuning forks, we can reach deep into the subconscious and gain access to the universal energy field, finding clarity of mind, as well as physical and emotional healing,” says Garnier.

Some highlights of the retreat include the following presentations on the theory, art, and science of sound healing.

With Peter Blum, a senior hypnosis instructor for the National Guild of Hypnotists and Sound Healer, We will explore the strong parallels between the work of traditional indigenous shamans, and the approaches and techniques of contemporary western hypnotherapy. He will be addressing two fundamental questions: How can today’s hypnotherapists better utilize music and sound healing practices; and how can those who are following the path of sound healing learn to incorporate spoken “hypnotic” language into their systematic understanding.

Pierre Garreaud, Peruvian Sound Healer Shaman and teacher, will offer a sound healing ceremony in the style of the Rainforest shamans, the “maestros Ayahuasqueros”. Pierre will invite the spirit of the mother plant, the jungle spirits, and his spiritual lineage of teachers and masters to help participants clear and advance in their awakening process. He will guide students in a process he designed called Ancestral DNA Clearing.

“Participants will experience profound personal transformation as a result of being surrounded with these healing frequencies so completely for these four unparalleled days,” says Garnier. “To have the opportunity to study with these teachers in this intensive retreat on the sacred and already energetically charged land of Menla will be a unique experience that will stay with them forever. Everyone will leave the retreat with a precious and practical skill set that they can immediately use both to enhance their own individual growth and benefit their clients.”
