The Sound Altar: A Sound Healing Certification Retreat

Immerse in sound, ritual, and healing. Learn to hold space with drum, bowl & gong. Leave certified, rooted, and empowered.

Join us for a transformative weekend at a desert-infused retreat home under the vast high desert sky, where you'll experience: private microdose sound healings, a sound healing training kit, ancestral and mystical sound lessons, healthy hearty meals, refreshing detoxes through sauna, pool, hot tub, and more.

This all-inclusive Sound Healing Certification Retreat is led by Maryzelle Ungo — a deeply respected facilitator, healer, musician, and ceremonialist with over 15 years of professional experience. Maryzelle holds a BA in Music with an emphasis in sound therapy and has worked extensively in both medical and holistic wellness fields, collaborating with prestigious institutions including Stanford, UCSF, UC Berkeley, and San Francisco City Hall.

Through immersive, hands-on training with medicine drums, crystal bowls, tuning forks, gongs, and more, you’ll learn to hold sacred space and facilitate powerful sound healing journeys. Reiki energy healing is woven throughout the retreat, enhancing your experience and personal growth. Nourish your body and soul with healthy, hearty meals, and connect deeply with community and ceremony, including cacao blessings.
