Lakshmi Sound Sanctuary Training & Workshop Experience
Nestled amongst the trees, our Tanglewood venue transforms every sound healing workshop into an immersive sanctuary. Here, the boundary between the classroom and the wild dissolves; the gentle lilt of birdsong, the rustle of wind through the leaves, and the rhythmic pulse of rain become essential elements of the space we learn within.
This journey transcends mere technique or instrumentation. It is a practice of deep listening, of attuning your senses and allowing yourself to be fully present with the frequency of the moment.
In this natural cradle, the nervous system begins to soften. Awareness deepens, and sound is no longer just heard; it is felt through your entire being. We invite you to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a space of profound resonance, connection, and inner coherence.

The Lakshmi Training Experience
Nestled amongst the trees in Tanglewood in the beautiful Northern Rivers of NSW, Lakshmi Sound Sanctuary offers an intimate environment in which to learn.
Birdsong, wind through the trees and the natural rhythms surrounding the studio become part of the experience.
Our workshops are deliberately practical and experiential. You won't simply sit and listen to someone talk about sound.
You'll play it. Hear it. Feel it. Practise it.
You'll have opportunities to work with different instruments, practise techniques with other students, ask questions and develop confidence under experienced guidance.
There is also something very special about learning within a small group.
Connections form.
Confidence grows.
And often, a community begins.
Learn surrounded by nature
