$100 Early Bird discount for first 6 students to register!
You're invited to 5 days of vibrational transformation with Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy at idyllic Stonehedge Gardens near Pennsylvania's Pocono mountains!
These immersive sound healing trainings offer the opportunity to explore how sound healing works, how we can use it for relaxation, stress relief, pain relief, energy clearing, chakra balancing, whole body harmony, inner strength, and illumination. We will primarily focus on the many uses of bronze singing bowls with an introduction to crystal singing bowls, planetary gongs, weighted and unweighted tuning forks, and other instruments.
Attune yourself to the rich, ancient tones and vibrations of large hand-hammered bronze singing bowls & gongs, and the pure coherent tones of crystal bowls and tuning forks for healing and harmonizing the physical, mental, emotional, and etheric bodies.
Looking at ancient and modern theory, we will explore how stagnant and unbalanced energies affect the body, how sound and vibration work to heal and harmonize, and we'll learn leading-edge methods to awaken the healer within.
This retreat, hosted at the beautiful Stonehedge Gardens in Tamaqua, PA, includes all meals, indoor and outdoor camping options, morning yoga, sound bath meditations, and conscious expressive movement. You are invited to join us!
We will go over basic techniques of how to play each instrument and when and why you would use each one. We will learn how to give treatments specific to instilling deep relaxation, calming the mind, grounding, clearing the aura, harmonizing chakras and meridians, and entraining into whole body coherence. We will learn effective and efficient noninvasive treatments for chronic pain, discuss treatment plans and cautions for dozens of conditions, and discover how to apply this knowledge in our lives and integrate these methods in our therapeutic practices.
We will practice holding compassionate space for our clients, matching intentions, being present, and encouraging emotional release and profound transformation. Other instruments such as flutes, harps, drums, handpans, chimes, and rattles will be discussed and may be used as well.
Thursday & Friday, Sept. 25 & 26: Level 1 Therapeutic Sound Certification
The Level 1 training will include info on how to support individuals and groups using sound, vibration, and simple musical concepts (chords, scales, harmony, binaural beats) while holding compassionate space for emotional release, pain relief, and encouraging deep relaxation, using a variety of instruments.
Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 27 & 28: Level 2 Therapeutic Sound Certification
Level 2 will go deeper into energetic clearing and strengthening of chakras, meridians, transmuting limiting beliefs, thought and emotional patterns, and using various instruments, voice, and simple breathwork and lightwork to heal and shift to higher consciousness states along with more advanced music theory like chord progressions, major/minor scales, and frequency medicine.
Monday, Sept. 29: 7 Sacred Flames Sound & Light Attunement
The 7 Flames Attunement will explore how we can support ourselves, our clients, nature, and society using these higher-dimensional light technologies. We will inform and empower our sessions with color therapy and infuse sound with light for the highest possible outcomes.

Workshop Facilitator
Kirk Jones, MS, Master Sound Healer & Founder of Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy
Kirk was powerfully drawn to singing bowls 24 years ago, attracted to the power and beauty of the rich, ancient tones. 10 years later, he witnessed how singing bowls resonated with and elevated his own spiritual and healing journeys, so he decided to learn how to apply this to his own life and to help others.
Since then, he has assisted thousands of people on their own healing journeys, bringing great joy, relaxation, pain relief, emotional release, spiritual upliftment, clarity, and empowerment. He is honored to use and share this sacred gift.
Kirk is a member of the Sound Healers Association, a facilitator for the International Academy of Sound Healing, and a consulting member of the Medical Sound Association.
Since 2016, Kirk has led hundreds of workshops and 87 certification trainings across North and Central America.
The Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy has been recognized as a job training institution by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, offering grants to low income Vermonters, since 2017.

Feedback from Kirk's trainings
"I would recommend this training/retreat to anyone even curious about sound healing. It was in fact healing on a degree I did not expect & cracked me open to other possibilities of how I can bring this to my community & mostly myself. It's another beautiful tool of self-care & something special to offer to loved ones."
"I couldn't have possibly expected the level of healing I experienced. I can't wait to pay it forward. Thank you!"
"So grateful for this experience and knowledge to carry back home with me. I learned so much about myself - going home a renewed and rejuvenated me!"
"The class was very educational. The hands-on experience was more than I could have asked for. Bowls on my body is incredible. Thank you!"
"Thank you for a wonderful and beautifully healing class experience! Sound is incredibly powerful, healing, and beautiful. I'm so excited to explore and play with this more and bring it to others in my healing practice."
