Level 1 - Integrative Sound for Wellbeing CPD Certified

A small-group, experiential course offered as reflective Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and personal development.

This course explores sound as a relational and embodied practice, grounded in listening, awareness, somatic experience, and ethical integration, rather than performance, technique, or outcome.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is open to both practitioners and non-practitioners who are drawn to a reflective, sensory, and integrative approach to working with sound.

It is suitable for:

✔ Wellbeing practitioners

Including qualified and insured yoga teachers, movement practitioners, and those working with body-based or somatic-informed approaches in supportive, non-clinical settings, who wish to integrate sound gently and ethically within their existing scope of practice.

For practitioners, this course may be used as reflective Continuing Professional Development (CPD), subject to individual insurance terms and organisational or regulatory policies.

✔ Individuals seeking personal development

Who are drawn to sound for self-care, embodied listening, and reflective exploration, and who wish to deepen their relationship with sound without intention to offer sound professionally.

Participants attending for personal development are supported to work with sound for personal use and reflective exploration only.

Those working in educational, care, or clinical-adjacent settings may also find this course valuable as reflective CPD to support listening, pacing, and sensory awareness, rather than as clinical or therapeutic training.

Course Format and Schedule

This course is delivered in three parts to allow time for personal experience, reflection, and integration, recognising that learning with sound unfolds over time.

What Is Explored on This Course?

This Level 1 course introduces sound as a relational and sensory experience, grounded in listening, awareness, and observation rather than technique or outcome.

Participants learn through experience, observation, and reflection to:

• Develop understanding of how sound is perceived by the body, nervous system, and environment
• Explore sound and instruments for personal practice and practitioner self-care
• Learn how sound may be gently integrated alongside existing wellbeing practices, rather than applied as a standalone modality
• Develop discernment around when to use sound and when not to use sound
• Gain contextual understanding of sound experiences often referred to as “sound baths”

Foundational playing approaches are introduced to support sensitivity, restraint, and responsive engagement with sound.
