Sound as Medicine (Rochester Retreat)

Sound as Medicine is for all people who want to connect with sound and music as a modality of healing and meditation (no prior experience necessary). Simply put, music is a deeply human activity. As the Zimbabwean proverb says, “If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance.” Music-making lies at the intersections of art, psychology, philosophy and science. Because of this, music therapies are well positioned to promote balance on all levels and provide access to cathartic and transcendental experiences.

This retreat will provide you with skills and knowledge needed to facilitate guided meditation and sound healing experiences for yourself or others (full curriculum below). Through hands-on training with a variety of instruments, participants will directly experience the power of sound as a tool for mental, physical, and spiritual attunement.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments (instruments will also be provided as needed, and a variety of sound-healing instruments will be available for sale). The weekend will include a sound bath, interactive discussions, group exercises, and a “Sound Healer Open Mic” (friends and family welcome, free of charge).

*A certificate of completion will be issued to those who fully attend the workshop.
