Forge Your Own Singing Bowl
|
"The possibility of making your own healing instrument is rare. The experience of forging with your own hands is transformational in itself. The instruments that result are exceptional. Book this course, bring your soul-spirit into your hands." Tobias Kaye, Director of Sounding Bowls – Tuning the Circle 
These workshops are about so much more than making a singing bowl: the bowl making process is held in a vibrational field which encourages self-reflection leading to self-knowledge and insight, recognition and potential release of blockages to the free flow of energy whether mental, emotional, physical or spiritual: Gabriella and Heather are always there to facilitate these healing and clearing times. Louise Carpenter, Yoga Teacher and Medicine Woman, Suffolk Bowl 2015 |
Listen to an excerpt from an interview with Gabriella and Heather speaking about the process of crafting a singing bowl.

I still cannot come over it... I play it often and in the least likely places around the office... Today a friend told me it sounds so "balanced" and "whole" that I even shed a tear for her sensitive ears. :-) Another one simply knelt in front of me and kissed my hands. I am so touched myself by the 3-day experience, the result and by the reactions of these two people today that my wings are flapping strong and carrying me 10 cm above ground. :-) THANK YOU!"
