The Art & Mastery of Sound

Enter the world of sound, frequency and resonance through a collection of immersive private trainings with Kit Nidawi, our Director of Music. A professional musician, masterful multi-instrumentalist and frequency practitioner, Kit brings together extraordinary musicianship with an intuitive understanding of how sound moves through the body, energy and consciousness.

Created for individuals and private groups, each experience is personally guided and highly immersive, with half-day, full-day and two-day offerings, as well as private voice activation. No musical experience is required, only a desire to explore sound from an entirely new perspective.

Private Alchemy Crystal Bowl & Planetary Gong Immersion

The Alchemy of Sound

An immersive study of sound, frequency, resonance and ceremony.

Enter our purpose-built Sound Temple for an intimate, hands-on immersion into the art of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls and Planetary Gongs, guided by our Director of Music, Kit Nidawi.

Created specifically for the resonance of these extraordinary instruments, the Sound Temple becomes part of the teaching itself. You will learn to listen, feel and understand how sound moves through space and the body before bringing the instruments into your own hands.

Working with our exceptional collection of Alchemy Crystal Bowls and Planetary Gongs, Kit guides you through resonance, overtones, playing technique, intuitive sequencing, cymatics and frequency, as well as how to prepare the space, set intention, hold ceremony and create a beautifully curated sound journey from beginning to completion.

This is more than learning to play. It is an immersion into the art of working with sound and frequency with intention, presence and reverence.

Private Multi-Instrument Sound Immersion

The Sound Shaman Experience

An immersive study of sound, frequency and intuitive musicianship inside the Water Temple.

Enter the Water Temple for a private 3-hour immersion into the art of sound. Guided by our Director of Music, Kit Nidawi, an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist and master of frequency, you’ll explore a curated collection of sacred and ceremonial instruments, including Native American flutes, handpan, didgeridoo, Himalayan singing bowls, shamanic and frame drums, chimes, sansula, ocean drum, rain stick, and a variety of other instruments.

Within the extraordinary natural acoustics and resonance of the Water Temple, you’ll learn to work intuitively with rhythm, breath, vibration, silence, and frequency. This is not simply about learning how to play an instrument. It is an invitation to deepen your relationship with sound, learning how to listen, respond, and create with presence and intention.

You’ll also explore the art of setting sacred space, holding ceremony, and understanding how different instruments can be woven together to create a deeply felt, multi-instrumental sound journey.

No musical background is required. By the end of your immersion, you’ll have the opportunity to bring the instruments together and create and hold your own sound journey within the remarkable acoustics of the Water Temple.

Full-Day Sound Alchemy Immersion

The Alchemist’s Initiation

A full day devoted to the deeper mastery of sound, frequency and the art of creating a journey.

This immersive 6-hour private training inside our Water Temple builds upon everything explored in our 3-hour immersion, then takes you deeper into the artistry and intuitive practice of sound alchemy.

Personally guided by our Director of Music, Kit Nidawi, the full-day experience expands into additional instruments, including the Gabonese harp, an extraordinary instrument Kit has mastered and incorporates into our own sound journeys. You will continue working with an extensive collection of instruments while moving further into rhythm, resonance, frequency, intuitive playing, voice and breath.

The immersion then begins to explore the subtle architecture of a sound journey: how different instruments and frequencies can be layered and woven together, how to work with silence and transitions, how to listen and respond intuitively, and how to create an experience that feels cohesive rather than simply played.

Following lunch, the focus moves into bringing everything together. You will explore how to open and close a journey, create its arc, work with the energy of the space, and hold ceremonial space with presence and intention.

The day culminates in the creation and facilitation of your own multi-instrument sound journey inside the Water Temple, bringing everything you have explored throughout the day into practice.

Sacred Voice Activation

Voice of the Soul

An embodied journey into the most sacred instrument you carry: yourself.

This private activation begins with a simple truth: we are not separate from sound. We are the instrument. Through breath, vibration, vocal toning, mantra, intuitive voice and overtone exploration, Kit guides you into the resonance of your own body, awakening the voice as a powerful instrument of frequency, expression and ceremony.

As the body opens and the voice begins to move freely, we shift from listening to sound to becoming it. You learn to feel vibration within the body, work intuitively with your own frequency and experience the voice as a living extension of your energy. This is not a singing lesson. It is an activation of the sacred instrument within you, whether for your own practice or to deepen the sound and ceremonial work you hold for others. No singing experience is needed.

Two-Day Private Sound & Frequency Immersion

The Mastery of Sound

Two temples. Voice. Instrument. Frequency. A complete immersion into the art of sound.

Created as our most comprehensive private training, The Mastery of Sound is a rare opportunity to enter deeply into sound as both an art and a practice. Across two highly curated days with our Director of Music, Kit Nidawi, you move between the Sound Temple and Water Temple, exploring alchemy crystal bowls, planetary gongs, voice, harp and multi-instrumental sound work.

Each experience builds upon the next, moving from technique into intuitive musicianship, resonance, ceremonial space holding and the art of guiding a journey of your own. Sacred voice activation becomes an essential part of the immersion as you discover the body itself as a sacred instrument, learning not only to create sound, but to embody it.

This is not a sampling of our trainings. It is a private progression through them, created for those who want to immerse themselves fully in the language, frequency and transformative potential of sound.
