Level 1 - Integrative Sound for Wellbeing CPD Certified

Level 1 – Integrative Sound for Wellbeing

Listening-Led Sound Awareness & Foundational Playing

A small-group, experiential CPD and personal development course grounded in listening, awareness, embodied sound exploration, and ethical integration.

Who is this course for?

This course is open to both wellbeing practitioners and individuals seeking personal development who are drawn to sound as a listening-led, sensory, and embodied practice.

This course is suitable for:

✔ Wellbeing practitioners

Including qualified and insured yoga teachers, movement practitioners, and those working in supportive, non-clinical settings, who wish to gently and ethically integrate listening-led sound awareness and foundational playing 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 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 clinical or educational settings may also find this course valuable as reflective CPD to inform listening, pacing, and sensory awareness, rather than as clinical or therapeutic training.

What is covered 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 will:

• 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 within existing wellbeing practices, rather than applied as a standalone modality
• Receive guidance on working safely, ethically, and within scope, including considerations around volume, pacing, duration, context, and individual sensitivity
• Gain contextual understanding of sound experiences often referred to as “sound baths”, without being trained to deliver them

Foundational playing approaches for selected instruments are introduced to support listening-led exploration, sensitivity, and restraint, rather than performance or prescriptive delivery.

Deepened embodied sound practice and practitioner-level facilitation are explored through further study and mentoring, where appropriate.
