THE COURSE
This course aims to teach participants how to work with sound for themselves, their communities or incorporate it into their own therapies. It will cover many aspects of the theory and history of sound as a healing modality; introduce participants to many sound healing tools such as Tibetan singing bowls, overtone singing, drum and percussion, and share skills, techniques and knowledge to ensure that the students become proficient in the playing of these. Throughout the course students will explore the different ways these instruments can be used individually, or woven together for group work. The course is also a journey of self discovery and is delivered in a ceremonial style i.e each session links with ancient knowledge and traditions and can include plant smudges, resins, and medicine songs. |

WHO WILL THE COURSE SUIT?
Over the years we have been asked by many people to come and work with their school, or Parkinsons group, or Alzeihmers group, or children with special needs to name but a few and we recognise the need for more people to be able to take sound as a therapeutic tool into the wider community. We have also seen the way sound can cleanse, support and energise individuals after even a short session and have developed this course to meet some of those needs. We see this course as being of interest to: * Individuals who would like to take sound into schools, hospitals, hospices and care centres * Existing holistic therapists who wish to add sound to their healing mix * Carers, counsellors or support workers who work with different communities * Musicians looking to incorporate the healing aspects of sound and music *Anyone who wishes to develop themselves and take this journey within a supportive and safe space |

Students will be required to do home study (including written assignments and case studies) and will be assessed through coursework and a final presentation. On completion of the course each student will have a deep understanding of how they can use sound in their own lives and communities, host group sound relaxations or journeys, or blend it with their existing therapies.

COURSE FEES
The course fee is £950 and can be paid in one lump sum to receive a discount of £50, or in 3 monthly instalments. A deposit of £200 is required to secure your place once you have been accepted on to the course. You will also need to budget to buy equipment and we would suggest around a minimum of £200 - £300 will be needed for that, unless you already have some instruments. It’s up to you how far you go with this one! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING BEFORE THE COURSE STARTS! Part of the journey is gathering your instruments as you go and trying out different types. Sometimes you find them in charity shops and random places (as they find you), plus we will also have some instruments (singing bowls, drums, percussion) for sale via the ANSU Shop onsite and you will no doubt have fun trying out some of the sounds available.
INSURANCE
Once you are qualified you will be able to gain insurance through one of our Insurance partners.

COURSE VENUE
The course will be held in the magical village of Traquair within the Scottish Borders in the local community hall.
Traquair Hall is a rural location, 2 minutes from the town of Innerleithen, or 5 minutes from the larger town of Peebles. It is pretty, quiet and remote. It is also the first hall Suzy and Anthar held their first event in March 2009
Each weekend we will be based at the hall. There is plenty of parking and buses will take you as far as Innerleithen, where you can be collected if necessary, or link with your fellow students to car share.
Students are invited to bring lunch to share each weekend.
Peebles and Innerleithen are great rural towns with a few good pubs and restaurants, lots of lovely walks, forests, hills and countryside. It has everything you need and accommodation is provided within the local hotels or the Kailzie bunkhouse if you don't mind sharing (see information later). The bunkhouse books up quickly with cyclists so it is advised to book early.
** If you can stay overnight locally on the Saturday we would advise it if possible. It is always better to be able to fully immerse yourself over the whole weekend when possible. PLUS we will be offering a ceremonial fire each Saturday evening within Peebles in Casa Colibri, our lovely yurt.

Their courses and events are delivered with a sense of open-ness and light-heartedness, as well as being professional and highly supportive. Anthar Kharana is a medicine man, musician and renown international sound healer native from Colombia. He comes from a long linage of musicians in his family and is also a guardian of traditions and medicines of the Americas. He is guided by wise Elders from his Homeland from an early age, carrying their words alongside his work worldwide. As a Sundancer and Chanupa (Sacred Pipe) Carrier, (traditions of the North of the Americas) Anthar is one of the Sons of the alliance of the Eagle and Condor Nation, a New Nation united by the agreement of the Elders of the North and South America to become One. Anthar has been travelling to Europe for 16 Years sharing different wisdom and lighting the fires in the hearts of people through workshops, concerts, ceremonies, therapies and retreats. He is the Director of TRIBAL SOUND HEALING in the UK and Colombia and recently he has co-created the first school of sound healing in Scotland ANSU School of Sound & Tribal Healing Arts. www.tribalsoundhealing.com Suzanne Harris (Scotland) is the founder of Soundsphere in Scotland. Suzanne has worked in environmental education and charity work for many years, whilst also exploring the nature of reality, singing and the power of voice as a healing tool. She graduated from Queen Margaret’s University in Edinburgh with a BA in Communication Studies, focussing her final year project on Music and The Communication of Emotions, and whilst studying to become a Sound Therapist, Suzanne’s main focus was on the voice and specifically the effects of overtoning. While working privately as a Sound Therapist, Suzanne has continued to explore different healing methods, working with Reiki, intuitive development, colour and shamanic practices. She offers private treatments, informal workshops, demonstrations and talks on therapeutic sound whilst also working part-time at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh where she develops and oversees the Continuing and Professional Courses programme for adults. www.soundsphere.org.uk |
