SOMATIC SOUND TRAININGS + CERTIFICATIONS

with Charlie

For those with a hum in their heart and a desire to hold nervous system-informed space for their communities. These trainings are tailored for both new sound-makers and experienced ones alike, and offer comprehensive education in sound meditation and sound-making experiences; combining somatically-oriented facilitation, Deep Listening® practices, collaborative and solo sound practice, and the art of soundscape creation. Charlie has been leading sound meditation trainings since 2015, and has offered sound meditations since 2012. These trainings are the amalgamation of 14 years of dedication, education, apprenticeship, research and self-study, collaboration, as well as facilitating thousands of sound offerings.

This is not a training that focuses solely on instruments. Supported by cultural and scientific research, music theory, listening as foundation, slowness as a rhythm, and a focus on individual experience, you will be invited to approach sound-making with play, curiosity, and devotion to craft. We learn to be listeners first and foremost, then scaffold our way into instrumental work, voice, and creating sound experiences that have the potential to nourish the imagination and bring ourselves (and communities) into regenerative rest. These trainings are meant to explore what a sound and listening practice means for you. We explore many different ways of using sound, honouring your own voice and vision, and move away from what a sound practitioner “should” sound or look like.

No previous musical or sound experience necessary. These trainings have supported folks from all walks and backgrounds and has lead to folks exploring and offering sound in many different ways. The listening path is yours to follow.

SOMATIC SOUND MEDITATION TRAINING - 30 HRS

The 30hr Somatic Sound Meditation training is where we lay the groundwork for our sound education and sonic practice.  For both new practitioners and seasoned ones, we wade into this work through the frameworks of somatics, Deep Listening®, the art of sound meditation, and both science (research based information) as well as the mystical and mythical.  There will be a focus on both receiving and giving sound, for you to tune your ears to what you love and how different sound meditations can be shaped. These 30hrs will offer you the tools to begin curating and orchestrating sound offerings with confidence, or finessing and refining your work as a sound facilitator already practicing.

Pre-recorded workshops are included in this training and will be required to have spent time with them before our in-person session.  Completion of homework and self-lead practicum sessions are required for your certificate.

“Charlie’s teaching style is immersive, gentle, and inclusive. It was one of the first learning experiences where I felt I could truly be myself and be fully accepted, which was deeply empowering. Although I was slightly concerned about the long days as an introvert, time became irrelevant when we were learning, connecting, creating, practicing deep listening, and bathing in beautiful sonic meditations. It was moving to witness how deeply the training resonated with each person.”
