About This Course

The Sacred Gong Practitioner Certification is an immersive professional training designed for sound practitioners, healers, yoga teachers, therapists, and anyone called to deepen their understanding of the gong as a therapeutic instrument.

This course goes beyond technique. You'll explore the science and art of therapeutic gong work — how sound affects the nervous system, how to read a room and respond in real time, how to hold space for deep transformational experiences, and how to build a sustainable practice as a sound facilitator.

"As a graduate of the SVMT Method and an Affiliate Teacher with Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound, Orlando brings together years of study, hands-on sound and gong facilitation, and the embodied principles of somatics, vibration, mindfulness and trance-informed practice (SVMT Method). Sacred Gong Practitioner Certification weaves this wisdom into the art of gong facilitation—developing not only technical skill, but presence, intentionality, deep listening and the ability to hold meaningful space for others."

This training is offered as an immersive in-person intensive at Meditate School of Mindfulness and Sound, with an online preparatory journey available to all enrolled students before the live training begins.
