Sound Practitioner Training (32-Hour Certification) has been revamped and reimagined for 2024. In celebration of our Sixth year of offering this in-person invitation to Arizona, we have added and expanded, cut and pruned, and refined to make this the absolutely best training yet!
This initiation into the world of the Sound Practitioner is spread over two weekends and explores the history, theory, spirituality, science and practice of sound while providing hands-on training in playing gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, shruti box, flutes, overtone singing, chimes, and more.
Held at a private residence in the foothills of New River, this will be an intimate training with very limited space. In addition to the in-person component, the new Sound Practitioner Immersion now includes access to over 20-hours of online content to support each student after the training concludes.

Private residence in New River, Arizona, approximately 50-minutes north of Downtown and around 60-minutes from most parts of the Phoenix area.
The Sound Practitioner Immersion is designed for both teachers and students who would like to begin using sound in public or private settings, or for those who are simply drawn to sound and wish to learn more. Sound Therapy and Sound Meditation (also sometimes called Sound Healing) are a range of practices used to bring about physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual changes using sound. Participants will learn the fundamentals of Sound Meditation and Sound Therapy and learn to deliver public and private sound sessions. Yoga and meditation teachers will learn how to incorporate sound therapy and guided meditation into their classes.
Participants in this training receive Certification as a Sound Practitioner (Level I). Yoga Alliance teachers receive 32-hours of Yoga Alliance CEUs.
Includes a full color training manual for lifetime reference and access to the online training (a $299 value) with over 20-hours of video lessons and additional content.
On this soul-stirring journey, we will tap into the ancient wisdom of Huachuma (San Pedro), embarking on a deep inner quest of growth, self-realization and spiritual awakening in the timeless Sacred Valley of the Incas. Building on the successes of last year’s inaugural pilgrimage, which sparked profound healing and life-changing insights for all who took part, we now excitedly prepare this special container to hold another group of courageous voyagers ready to plunge into the alchemical fires of deep soul transformation.
Nestled amidst the gentle majesty of the Andes, you will peel back profound layers of old patterns, reclaim lost parts of yourself, and reconnect with your authentic gifts to bring back into the world. This is a journey of a lifetime – through expertly-facilitated Huachuma ceremonies guided by a gifted Maestro Huachumero, you’ll discover who you truly are beneath the surface-level masks so many wear today.
This sacred medicine path calls to those feeling the nudge towards radical self-inquiry and a desire to heal at the deepest levels of body, mind and soul. It requires earnest self-work, trust, and the willingness to courageously surrender to a process of total metamorphosis.

On this pilgrimage we delve into the wisdom of Huachuma (San Pedro), embarking on a profound journey to decolonize our hearts and minds and receive its sacred education. Through this rewilding experience, you will uncover your heart’s deepest truth as the perfect medicine for your life right here, right now. This alchemical retreat holds the power to potentiate paradigm-shifts in ways both accessible and well-integrated, catalyzing inspired action aligned with your highest timeline. Held in an intentional container within the Andes mountains, you will discover deeper layers of who you really are, reclaiming your sovereignty while opening yourself to new ways of being in this world.
This experience is for souls called to deep self-exploration, who seek a quantum portal through which to weave personal and collective transformation. This is not a typical plant medicine retreat. We will be exploring the medicine in ceremonies not always accessible to the general public, and have a unique opportunity to use horseback as an integration modality. These ceremonies require a level of commitment to preparation as well as physical, mental, and emotional readiness that is well-suited for space holders or those otherwise well-versed in shadow work.

In March 2020, just as the world was entering lockdowns, we were in the midst of one our largest Sound Practitioner Trainings to date. It was one of the last group gatherings for the better part of the year as all of our other trainings were cancelled. In November 2020 and February 2021, we re-emerged to conduct more group trainings. They were absolutely beautiful experiences and reminders of how healing it is to be amongst people, in community, creating beautiful sounds and sharing our stories.
With a greater sense of how important and life changing these trainings are, we are returning in November 2021 for what will inevitably be a phenomenal fall training.

Mount Shasta, located near the Oregon border in northern California, holds the distinction of being one of the world’s preeminent sacred mountains. It is recognized as an eligible Native American cultural and cosmological property on the National Register of Historic Places. Artifacts found in the surrounding area conservatively suggest at least 11,000 years of human habitation, designating this region as one of the longest-occupied areas of North America.
Mount Shasta’s vast antiquity and mythic relevance places its significance on par, historically and categorically, with other sacred sites found among the world’s oldest known civilizations, including the temples and pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the the Mayan Pyramids and Machu Picchu.
Today experts recognize that these “sacred sites” around the world influence human consciousness and other living organisms in a number of unusual and remarkable ways. They have become colloquially known as ancient “power spots,” places where people commonly experience unusual phenomenon such as UFO-related activity, portals into other dimensions, consciousness-altering experiences, and other paranormal-phenomenon.
When one enters into a sacred site of so-called “powerful energy,” the mind, body, and spirit are instantly affected. The energy at these places can be felt, sensed, dowsed, photographed, and measured with scientific instrumentation.
Join Hamid and Jill Honeywell for a night of deep breathwork and sound at Abundant Space. Breathwork provides access to subconscious memories stored throughout the body, enabling safe release and reprocessing and deep emotional healing. In addition, breathwork can take participants into the same sorts of transpersonal states as other practices, such as plant medicines and psychedelic medicines. When combined with live sound of drums, flutes, voice, gongs, singing bowls and more, the practice becomes one of deep entrainment of the entire being.

Trance dance is a traditional shamanic healing technique that draws on percussive rhythms combined with breath work, entrancing sounds and the use of blindfolds to take participants on an embodied psycho-spiritual journey into deep states of consciousness. The experience, led by Kari Levine and Hamid Jabbar, will begin with setting the sacred space, where ceremonial cacao will be served. This traditional medicine facilitates greater access to heart-centered intuition and connection to the spiritual realm. During the dance, participants are encouraged to move without inhibition in any way the music and energy of the space guides them. Facilitators will safely guide participants into ecstatic states of consciousness where deep physical and emotional healing, as well as spiritual insights, can occur.
