Evolvlove Sound Healing Retreat & Trainings 2025

Sept 25&26 - Level 1 Therapeutic Sound Certification

Sept 27&28 - Level 2 Therapeutic Sound Certification

Sept 29 - 7 Sacred Flames Sound & Light Attunement

You're invited to 5 days of vibrational transformation with Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy at idyllic Stonehedge Gardens in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania!

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 and chakra balancing. We will primarily focus on the many uses of bronze singing bowls with an introduction to crystal singing bowls, Paiste planetary gongs, and weighted and unweighted tuning forks. 

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 idyllic Stonehedge Gardens in Tamaqua, PA, includes all meals, indoor and outdoor camping options, morning yoga, sound bath with sound massage, restorative yoga with sound massage, and conscious expressive movement. You are invited to join us!

A Calming and Clearing Exercise

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, chimes, and rattles will be discussed and may be used as well.

These trainings are recommended for current and aspiring healing practitioners, bodyworkers, lightworkers, therapists, caregivers, sound, meditation, & yoga practitioners, spiritual seekers, musicians, and anyone interested in learning and using this healing science in supporting health for themselves and those they care about.

Kirk After a Sound Bath

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.

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."
