Welcome to the Gong & Sound Experience Training Pathway
Our Gong & Sound Experience Training Pathway has been designed to guide you on a powerful, grounded and heart-led journey into the world of sound healing.
Led by Ash, experienced gong practitioner and founder of Gong Space, and supported by Alex, a passionate and intuitive 1:1 sound healing practitioner, our training is grounded in professional skill, spiritual insight and lived experience.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced holistic practitioner looking to deepen your offering, our pathway provides practical training, energetic insight and trauma-aware facilitation skills across group and one-to-one settings.
Our approach blends traditional gong and sound practices with contemporary therapeutic awareness, all held in small, supportive groups with expert guidance and plenty of hands-on experience.
Training is offered in clearly structured levels, beginning with a solid foundation and evolving into practitioner pathways for both group work and 1:1 therapeutic sound healing.
You don’t need any previous experience to begin, only a willingness to explore, listen deeply and connect through sound.
