Frequently Asked Questions – Sound Bath Training Retreat
We make the training experience as easy and seamless as possible. Here’s what remains at your own expense:
– Your travel to Monferrato (flights to Turin or Milan, transfers, and local transport). You can coordinate all logistics directly with the retreat venue. Full retreat details will be provided upon acceptance into the training.
– Your personal instruments (only needed for the supervised case studies after the retreat).
– Your personal budget for anything you wish to purchase that is not included in the retreat’s all-inclusive package.
The gong is a powerful vibrational instrument, often at the heart of sound healing sessions. You’ll learn how to play it during the training, but using it for your supervised practice is entirely optional.
It’s an additional tool you can integrate according to your own sensitivity and inspiration.
You have 12 months after the final training weekend to complete your six supervised group case study sessions.
This process is an essential part of your Sound Bath Practitioner Certification — it helps you integrate what you’ve learned, refine your professional approach, and build lasting confidence.
👉 After each session, you’ll receive individual follow-up by phone, with personalised feedback and practical advice to help you progress quickly.
🎓 This follow-up is included as part of the training — you are fully supported throughout your journey.
As with any therapeutic approach, nothing can be guaranteed or controlled with absolute certainty. However, what we’ve observed over more than ten years is that the majority of our clients experience a noticeable shift from the very first session.
The method we teach is based on neuroscience, listening to the body, vibrational sensitivity, and adapting to each person’s natural rhythm.
Results are further enhanced when you apply the simple exercises shared during the sessions.
