This workshop will support you in playing the crystal bowls with skill and intention so you can bring them into your life in whatever ways feel good: into your daily practice, helping loved ones heal and manifest goodness, your work environment, morning or evening meditation, playing on the beach or in the forest, for yourself, a few friends, or groups of people. Crystal Bowls are easy to transport and uplift every environment they are added into. In this workshop you will learn:
<ul><li>what mallets to use and when</li><li>how to play the bowls with skill and grace</li><li>why crystal bowls are so powerful and how to work with this power well</li><li>what bowls will work best for you and your intentions</li><li>how to offer mini sound baths to yourself and your community</li></ul>
You do not need to own any bowls yourself, we have plenty to practice with and learn from. This workshop is for absolute beginners as well as for established practitioners desiring to further their skill and knowledge. Join us for this powerful workshop to clear, heal, open, amplify and magnify all the good that is wanting to manifest and unfold in your life. If the crystal bowls have been calling you, say YES! and show up for these magical and potent instruments of our ascension. Carrie Arlah is the co-founder of Breath+Oneness. She began her professional music career at the age of 11 with the San Francisco Girls Chorus, singing professionally and traveling the world for years, eventually releasing her own self-produced album under her middle name Arlah. She has played the flute, oboe, various saxes, piano, trumpet, harmonium, shruti box, drums, and other instruments over the years, adding crystal bowls to her most recent musical lexicon and traversing happily and deeply into the world of Sound Healing.

A hands-on introduction to the instruments of sound ceremony Sound has long been a pathway into stillness, presence, and deeper awareness. Across cultures and traditions, instruments have been used to create spaces of listening, reflection, and connection. Join Dallas McKenzie and Adron Beene, teachers in the Fall 2026 Ceremony of Sound course, for an intimate series introducing several of the foundational instruments used in sound ceremonies and contemplative sound practice. Each gathering offers a hands-on introduction to the voice and character of several instruments, including:&nbsp;&nbsp; Handpans and Tongue Drums 4/4 1-2:30pm Didgeridoos 4/4 3-4:30 and 5/16 1-2:30pm Gongs 4/19 1-3 (There will be a Gong event 3:30-5pm)&nbsp; Native American Flutes&nbsp; 4/26 2-3:30pm&nbsp; Harmonium and Shruti&nbsp; 5/9 1-3pm&nbsp; Didgeridoos&nbsp; Repeat 5/16 1-2:30pm Who This Is For These gatherings are ideal for people who:
<ul><li>Feel curious about sound instruments but do not know where to begin</li><li>Are interested in instruments for personal meditation or relaxation</li><li>Would like to explore sound used in sound ceremonies or sound healing</li><li>Simply want to spend time experiencing beautiful and unusual instruments</li></ul>
You Do Not Need to Be a Musician Many people feel drawn to these instruments but hesitate because they believe they are not musical. These gatherings are designed especially for beginners and curious explorers. The instruments themselves are intuitive, and learning begins simply with listening, breath, and touch. A Hands-On Experience Because the experience is experiential, participants will have the opportunity to work directly with the instruments, ask questions, and begin discovering which instruments resonate most naturally with them. Yes, you may bring your own instruments!&nbsp; This is a small, hands-on learning experience To allow everyone time with the instruments and personal guidance, each gathering is intentionally limited to 10 participants. Early registration is recommended. What You Will Leave With Participants often leave these gatherings with:
<ul><li>&nbsp;A direct experience of several sound instruments</li><li>A sense of which instruments resonate most strongly with them</li><li>A basic understanding of how these instruments are used in sound ceremonies</li><li>Practical guidance on how someone might begin learning an instrument</li><li>A deeper appreciation for the role of sound in creating calm and presence</li></ul>
Whether you are simply curious or feel a deeper interest in sound, these gatherings offer a welcoming place to explore. Discover the instruments that speak to you. A Pathway Into Deeper Study For many people, these introductory gatherings are simply an opportunity to explore an instrument that has been calling to them. For those who feel a deeper connection, these experiences may also serve as a doorway into our broader Ceremony of Sound program — a 100 hour structured path of study exploring sound, presence, and the art of holding space with instruments. The Ceremony of Sound course brings together tradition, intuitive listening, and contemplative practice to support those who feel called to share sound with others. Adron Beene is a sound ceremony facilitator and teacher whose work centers on the thoughtful and intentional use of gongs within immersive sound experiences. Drawing on classical music training and the Viniyoga tradition, his teaching emphasizes sequencing, harmonics, transitions, and attunement to group dynamics to support regulation, integration, and ease. He teaches gongs as the primary medium, with bowls, voice, harmonium, handpans, and flutes used in supportive roles. Adron was a co-teacher for the 2025 Fall Ceremony of Sound training and has offered workshops in Voice Optimization and Introduction to Gongs. He holds certifications in Gong Therapy, Gong Yoga Nidra, and Viniyoga (RYT-500). For more, see <a href="https://layagongs.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Layagongs.com</a>

Motherhood is not one thing. It is the woman who gave you life - who carried you, shaped you, and offered you the particular gifts only she could give: her vision, her steadiness, her way of truly listening. It is the women who gathered around her, showing up in a thousand different ways - a job lead, a meal, a hug that arrived at exactly the right moment. And it is the love you pour into your own children, and all that you carry quietly on their behalf. In this sound healing, we gather in community to honor all of it. Through vocals and EarthTones crystal bowls, Paitra will guide us through a practice of deep gratitude and gentle release - celebrating the women who shaped us while creating space to set down what we have been carrying, so that we may offer our children the fullest version of ourselves. This session holds space for mothers, daughters, and anyone who has been mothered or has mothered in any form. Come ready to receive, to remember, and to be held by sound and by community. Paitra Houts is a graduate of the Ceremony of Sound training, through which she found her home in her voice, weaving vocals and EarthTones crystal bowls to help people reconnect with their inner wisdom. She founded Bay Area Sound Healing to offer people a space to release what is no longer theirs, reclaim what always has been, and walk forward in alignment with their highest self. Paitra has a gift for finding the connective tissue between our lived experiences and what is most deeply true. Her sessions open a doorway to ancient wisdom, that place within us that feels both far away and entirely our own.
