🌿 Alembic Sound Foundations
Group Sound Practitioner Training — Begins 26 May 2026
This course is an initiation into the art of holding sound as medicine with presence, care and skill.
Alembic Sound Foundations is a six-month professional training for those called to guide others through immersive group sound experiences — whether in studios, retreat spaces, online containers, or sacred gatherings. Training also includes how to confidently deliver sound sessions online.
Over the first three months, you will step into a living laboratory of sound, presence and creative expression. You’ll learn to weave Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, healing voice, drum and percussion into cohesive, powerful journeys – while cultivating the confidence and awareness to hold safe, grounded space for others.
The following three months are devoted to integration and embodiment:

A public case study Sound Bath event

A written piece exploring your understanding of therapeutic sound

A practical assessment (online or in-person)

This is where knowledge becomes lived skill.

I’ll meet you there

These evenings are proving to be deeply immersive, nurturing and bringing peace, clarity and rest.
Many guests have profound experiences and love the addition of the amplification to enhance the sounds no matter where they were resting-lying down or seated. These sessions can bring deep and powerful shifts for guests, offer insight, a place to rest, rejuvenate and they have also been shown to reduce physical pain, anxiety, tension and even settle high blood pressure and help with sleep patterns.
So you are invited now to take the time to reduce stress and rest deeper than ever before which can help people to cope with life’s challenges. The powerful sounds and skilled weaving of gongs, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls lull your mind body and spirit into a physically restful state, releasing stress and tension, nurturing your soul and easing mental fog.
THE EVENING begins with a short welcome talk from Suzy, her reflection on the time of year, moon cycle or anything that feels appropriate and significant. There may also be an exercise such as aura cleansing or group toning. Then you will wrap up with your cosy blanket and rest as Suzy immerses and nurtures you in a healing soundscape – a tapestry of sound will support you as you are surrounded in frequencies and vibrations, helping you to journey to the other realms, cleansing and de-stressing your physical, emotional, mental or spiritual bodies and supporting your growth and development. After a period of silence there will be an opportunity to share (optional) and enjoy some grounding chocolate!. In addition each month a small singing bowl and instrument shop will be there and payments can be given by card.
Please bring a mat, a cosy blanket (or 2), cushion (also eye mask if you choose) ,a bottle of water and come along for 7.55pm when the doors will open.
For advance booking the 90 minute session costs £35, or £60 for 2 people, or £15 in the pews, £22 Livestream + Replay
