you may be looking to bring another dimension to the work you already do.
This training introduces you to the foundations of working with sound so you can thoughtfully explore how it may complement your existing practice.
ii.
Have you experienced Sound Meditation?
Maybe you have attended a sound bath or meditation and felt a deeper connection with the experience.
And somewhere along the way, a question arose:
“How do I learn this?”
Foundation gives you the opportunity to move from simply experiencing sound to understanding and practising with it.
iii.
Are you learning for yourself?
You don’t have to become a professional practitioner.
You may simply want to develop a personal practice, understand singing bowls, explore meditation through sound, or bring the practice into your own home and life.
Your journey with sound can begin with yourself.
The beginning
What Is Foundation?
Foundation is SAMA’s entry point into the world of Sound & Meditation.
It is not simply about learning how to play a singing bowl. It is about developing a relationship with sound through:
Listening.
Presence.
Awareness.
Practice.
Intention.
You will learn the fundamentals of Tibetan Singing Bowls while experiencing how sound can become a medium for meditation and conscious facilitation.
The curriculum
What Will You Explore?
Understanding Sound
Explore the foundations of sound, vibration and resonance, and begin to understand sound beyond simply what we hear.
Tibetan Singing Bowls
Learn the fundamentals of handling, playing and working with singing bowls through guided, hands-on practice.
Sound & Meditation
Explore how sound can support attention, stillness and meditative experiences.
Self-Practice
Begin developing your own relationship with the instrument and establish practices you can continue beyond the training.
Working with Others
Understand the foundations of creating a supportive sound experience for another person or a group.
Holding Space
Learn why facilitation is not about fixing or healing someone. It is about cultivating your own presence, listening deeply, and creating an environment where another person can experience their own process.
More than technique
The bowl is the instrument.You are the practitioner.Presence is the practice.
The instrumentThe practice
At SAMA, we don’t believe that learning sound is only about learning techniques. The deeper learning begins when you start noticing:
How you listen.
How you respond.
How you hold silence.
How you work with intention.
How you hold space.
This is why meditation remains at the heart of the SAMA approach.
The SAMA way
What Makes the SAMA Foundation Different?
Meditation First
Sound is explored in relationship with awareness and meditation, not as a collection of techniques alone.
Experiential Learning
You won’t spend two days simply listening to theory. You’ll learn through observation, practice, experimentation and reflection.
Hands-On Practice
You will work directly with singing bowls and learn through guided practice.
A Foundation, Not a Shortcut
We don’t promise to make you an expert in two days. We give you a strong beginning from which a deeper practice can grow.
Learning to Facilitate
The focus is not on “healing others.” It is on developing the awareness, sensitivity and skills required to responsibly facilitate sound experiences.
Your facilitators
We practice what we teach.
At SAMA, our teachers are not just educators. They are active practitioners of sound, teaching from hours of practice, sessions and one-on-one work.
Dhyan Shanto
Founder, SAMA
25+ years of meditation practice and 10+ years working with sound. He leads SAMA’s practitioner trainings in Pune and Goa.
You don’t learn sound from someone who only teaches it. You learn from those who practice it.
