Workshop: Introduction to the Art of Playing Tibetan Bowls

Join Wellington’s favourite sound healing artist Claudio Escutia for an introductory workshop on the theory and practice of playing Singing Tibetan bowls!

We all have been captivated with the amazing harmonic and soothing sounds that these instruments can produce. But apart from those beautiful sounds, the harmonic vibrations and mystic atmosphere they create have a direct impact on more than our physical bodies — they reach deep into our mind and spirit, as well.

In this 3.5 hr workshop, you’ll learn the basics of playing Tibetan bowls. The workshop covers:

History and origins of Tibetan bowls
Benefits of sound (physical, mental, spiritual)
How to choose a Tibetan bowl
Learn about mallets
Techniques to play the bowls (striking, rubbing, etc.)
How to get the best sound
Practical uses for their harmonic sound in yoga practices, meditation, self-healing, etc.

No previous experience in yoga , meditation or music needed for this course. You do not need your own bowls to participate, either!
