5 Days | 50 Hours | Foundational Training
About Level 1 (5 Days | 50 Hours)
Level 1 is an immersive foundational training designed to help you understand the science and practice of sound healing.
This is where you build your base.
Not just in playing instruments — but in presence, listening, and holding space.
Over 5 intensive days, you will explore how vibration affects the nervous system, brain waves, and emotional states. You will learn the principles behind frequency, resonance, entrainment, and how sound can shift the body from stress response to deep regulation.
This level focuses on:
- Foundations of sound and consciousness
- Nervous system basics & trauma-aware awareness
- Introduction to instruments (singing bowls, chimes, voice, basic gong understanding)
- Playing techniques and sequencing
- Structuring a 45–60 minute sound healing session
- Ethics, safety, and space-holding principles
You will practice daily — both giving and receiving sound — so you embody the work rather than just understand it intellectually.
By the end of Level 1, you will be able to:
- Confidently play core sound healing instruments
- Understand how sound influences the body and mind
- Design and facilitate a basic group sound meditation
- Hold a safe and grounded healing space
- Begin offering introductory sound healing sessions
This level is ideal for beginners, yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, therapists, and anyone who feels called to work with sound as a tool for healing.
Level 1 builds your roots.
Level 2 deepens your mastery.
Course Highlights
Learn to Regulate. Learn to Hold Space. Learn to Heal Through Sound.
- If you’ve been feeling the pull toward sound…
- If you’ve experienced a session and thought “I want to do this for others”…
- If you work with people who are stressed, overwhelmed, overthinking —
This training is for you.
Level 1 is a deeply immersive 5-day experience designed to help you understand sound not just as music — but as a nervous system tool.
- At Atha, we don’t just teach you how to play instruments.
- We teach you how to create safety.
- How to regulate a room.
- How to become the frequency you offer.
What Makes This Different
Most sound healing courses focus only on instruments.
This one integrates:
- Nervous system science
- Trauma-aware facilitation
- Energetics + presence
