An invitation to go deeper
Before anything else… there was sound.
Before words.
Before thought.
Before form.
Sound has always been a gateway to presence, healing and transformation.For centuries, the resonant sound of singing bowls has been part of contemplative traditions, accompanying meditation and cultivating peace and harmony in sacred spaces.
Join us for a unique journey where retreat meets professional training, with Tibetan singing bowls as our main tool for exploring the ancient alchemy of sound — a wisdom passed through generations.

The heart of Sacred Alchemy
WHY IS THIS MORE THAN A SOUND HEALING TRAINING?
Because true learning begins with your own experience.
Before learning how to guide others, you are invited to explore sound within yourself — to feel its effects, discover your inner peace and develop your own relationship with vibration.
Whether you are seeking personal restoration or feel called to share sound with others, this immersion brings together personal experience, embodied practice and professional learning — creating a deeper and more authentic foundation for your own path with sound.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE UNIQUE?
AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
Tibetan singing bowls, breathwork, yoga, meditation, somatic awareness and therapeutic sound practices come together in one holistic approach — supporting both personal exploration and practical professional skills.
TWO EXPERIENCED FACILITATORS
Two teachers with different backgrounds bring together their knowledge, personal journeys and approaches from different sound healing traditions.
Alongside the core techniques, we share the practical details that shape a meaningful session: how to communicate with clients, choose and work with bowls, prepare and hold the space, and use specific techniques and approaches developed through years of practice.
ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS MODERN UNDERSTANDING
Explore the traditional roots of sound work alongside a contemporary understanding of how sound and vibration can support the nervous system, body and emotional wellbeing, creating a deeper sense of balance.
WHO IS THIS JOURNEY FOR?
Those curious about sound and vibration, ready to explore through direct experience and practice.
Those seeking personal transformation, deeper relaxation, grounding, meditation or greater nervous system support.
Those already practicing with Tibetan singing bowls — or owning a bowl — who want to deepen their knowledge, discover its full potential and develop greater confidence in practice.
Yoga teachers, massage therapists, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, coaches, Reiki practitioners and other wellness professionals who would like to bring sound into their existing practice.
Caregivers and beauty & wellness practitioners who want to offer an additional tool to support relaxation, rest and a deeper sense of wellbeing.

In their words
WHAT GUESTS AND STUDENTS SAY:
Excerpts from students’ experiences of Danielle’s classes and programmes.
“I attended Dani's singing bowl workshop and I left with a lot more knowledge, inspiration and peace in my heart.
The workshop took place in a beautiful cozy studio and Dani made sure I was comfortable throughout. Sharing an incredibly tasty organic cacao was a nice touch too.
I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to singing bowls and so we started with the basics: getting to really know your bowls, listen and understand the difference in sounds was the first step. Then we went through different techniques and Dani was helping me every step of the way. She's patient and explains very well. I was very happy that I managed to produce truly amazing sounds and learn different ways of interacting with my bowls.
Dani goes in a lot of details about everything from choosing your set to doing sound healing sessions for others, and I could see that she has deep knowledge in the matter and also true passion. I feel a lot more confident with my bowls now and very inspired to continue to learn.
I would absolutely recommend Dani workshops for any levels, this was truly an amazing experience.”
— Maria, Product owner
"Svetlana, I am deeply grateful to you for this invaluable learning experience!You didn’t simply teach us the techniques of playing the singing bowls — you taught us how to listen to the music within ourselves.These days were filled not only with learning, but also with deep practices and sharing experiences with like-minded people, whom I am equally grateful to have met.I leave feeling nourished, inspired, and full of new energy.Now I have not only knowledge and practical skills, but also a beautiful tool for self-discovery, healing, and creativity. I am endlessly grateful to you for your generosity, talent, openness, and kindness!In the end, I want to say that these days of training were so much more than just a course. They were truly an investment in myself, my future, and my inner harmony.
Thank you."

"An extraordinary experience! Dani’s program changed the way I feel my energy and my connection with myself. She explains things clearly, with great gentleness and wisdom. The atmosphere is calm, supportive, and full of light. I learned so much about the body, emotions, and energy centers — I feel more balanced, peaceful, and strong. I wholeheartedly recommend Dani’s program to anyone who wants to take a step toward deeper self-awareness and inner harmony. "
Marina
Hairstylist & Boutique salon owner
"I completed individual training with Svetlana in playing Tibetan singing bowls and working with them in massage.It was one of the best investments of my time and money. Svetlana is a highly experienced practitioner and a very attentive, patient, and supportive teacher. Having the opportunity to learn from such a skilled master is truly a gift, and I feel very fortunate to have found her.The training included a lot of hands-on practice, with clear and concise theory and no unnecessary information. Svetlana also provided plenty of additional materials for deeper study and a better understanding of the practice.I highly recommend Svetlana as a teacher. Her knowledge, experience, and way of sharing her skills make the learning process both valuable and inspiring."

"I wanted to thank you for the lovely experience I had, my purging.I came to India to heal after losing my daughter and more recently, my mother. Not having a plan, where or how and somehow went to Nalanda where I met you. Your sound bath where I so unexpectedly purged was a significant part of my healing and you held a beautiful, safe space for that to happen. I thank you! I have experienced quite a few sound baths in the last couple of years but something deeper than l'd ever experienced resonated with me that night.It would be my pleasure for you to use my words as a testimonial. We're in the business of helping people and if it helps attract souls to you for healing, then gracing is in motion."
Charles

"Dani’s Program is a magical experience — I’m so happy to be part of it! I fall asleep easily, feel balanced and in harmony, and look forward to every Monday. After just the second session, I felt like I started attracting positive events into my life, and a financial flow opened up. Cashiers ask me for ID even though I’m almost 30 🥰"

Svetlana is such a beautiful Soul. So calm, kind, and generous with her knowledge, can feel her lovely heart in everything. & I left feeling peaceful, grounded, and very grateful.Thank you, Svetlana!
