The Call
Calling all beings who yearn for diving deep into the mysteries of sound, voice and nature as a path for creative expression, professional service and personal freedom
Are you yearning to free your voice and experience the multidimensional healing powers of your sound?
Are you curious to experience and embody the healing art of sound temple, ritual and ceremony?
Are you ready to step into your power as a sound channel, sound temple keeper and sound healing practitioner?
And learn how to harness the healing potential of sound, voice & music?
And are you longing to be steeped in a deep tribal experience of connection and soul remembrance - in wild nature?
Join our global tribe of sacred sound ceremonialists and sound temple keepers. Our training is a deep initiation into the ancient art of sound healing and opens a path of devotional sound temple service
Our Invitation
We invite you into our sacred Sound Temple for a 2 week journey of initiation into the deep mysteries of the healing powers of Sound - with loving support of the plant medicines of Cacao and Blue Lotus. In the most pristine, high vibrational energy vortex in Norway, the wild mountains of Jotunheimen, the land of the Giants and the Dragons.
This is an alchemical journey of embodying your voice, activating your multidimensional sound channel of light, diving deep into your own healing through sound and empowering you to hold temple, ritual and ceremony.
It is a journey for anyone longing to embody the mysteries of sound healing as a personal practice to upgrade your life. And a journey for anyone who is longing to share and integrate sound as medicine, either as a sacred space holder, temple keeper, journey facilitator, artist, musician, yoga teacher and or body worker.
And it is a tribal adventure into authenticity and aliveness - and of being fully opened and attuned by the wild frequencies of the elements in water falls, mountains, caves and rivers.
Sound Temple Keeper is our foundational module open to everyone - it is a 2 week experiential immersion into the art of sound temple, sound ceremony, personal sound practice and activation of your own healing powers with sound and voice. During this module you will embody sound practices, be in ceremony, surrender to your own healing and open to your full healing voice.
After the Sound Temple Keeper residency you will have an opportunity to mentor with Sounds of Light - either through online mentoring or by joining select events where you can apprentice with Sounds of Light.
Our training takes place in our world class acoustic Sound Dome anchored in the wilderness of the mountains of Norway, Jotunheimen National Park. This offers a special attunement to the elemental qualities in wild nature - and will provide a deep alchemical container for elemental healing and deep personal transformation.
It is a transformational & tribal journey of circling into deep heart presence, personal growth, soul remembrance, connection, love, truth, power, innocence & playfulness.

Sound Temple Keeper Initiation
Facilitator Training Intro
The art of Sound Temple is a deep ceremonial, tribal and devotional practice of sound healing, transformation and soul remembrance.
Sound Temple is our way to ceremonially step out of the ordinary and into a sacred place where we come together in tribe, share our intentions, sounds and hearts and co-create a coherent field of unity consciousness. In this way we explore our connection to our divinity and weave deep multidimensional healing and transformation. Temple is also a way to remember and honour our divine nature, the ancient ways of healing and to wake up to our full potential as creators of our own reality. Through co-creating temples we cultivate a deep heart-centered devotional prayer field that serves as a potent container for us to upgrade our lives into deeper purpose and service.
Sound Temple Keeper offers an experiential deep dive into the healing and transformational potential of sound, voice and nature - with loving support of the heart opening medicine of cacao, blue lotus as well as non-psychedelic plants indigenous to Norway. You will experience different sound practices, sound rituals and sound ceremonies designed to free your voice & musical expression and move energies in yourself to activate, expand and fully align with your own essence and potential. Through this module you will empower your capacity to hold temple space, create and direct healing through sound.
We will explore many different formats of sound temple in nature; offering rituals at glacial waterfalls, ceremonies on mountain tops, and activations in caves and rivers. And of course we will lead sound temples in our very special indoor Sound Dome that offers world class acoustics. Experiencing these different sound temples will allow you to discover and learn how sound supports healing and gives access to your intuition and creativity.
Here are some of the experiential themes we will explore:
EXPERIENCING THE POWER OF SOUND TEMPLE
As a sound healing ceremonialist, practitioner or sound temple keeper, you can only take people as deep in their healing as you have gone with your own healing. Therefore the purpose for this residency is to allow you to experience the healing and transformational power of sound & nature through participating in a variety of sound temples and sound practices. You will learn and embody deep vocal sound practices that will give you access to open, clear and move your energy. You will experience drum rituals, gong pujas, flute ceremonies, toning temples, singing circles, sound activations and more. This will allow you to access deep altered states of consciousness, soul remembrance, profound healing, visions and dreams. Your journey will allow you to awaken to your own truth and intimate multidimensional relationship with the healing power of sound. This will empower you to facilitate sound healing spaces for others that are steeped in your own wisdom and experience.
FREEING YOUR VOICE AND OPENING YOUR SOUND CHANNEL
The most important and powerful sound healing tool is our own voice. We will support you in opening and grounding your voice as a channel for healing energy. We were born to sing, express and create freely, yet most of us have the experience of losing that freedom and spontaneity as small children. We were often shut down in our creative expression and truth. Through vocal practices, intuitive sound circles and rituals in nature you will reconnect to your uninhibited inner child, free your voice, release limiting beliefs and open your creative channel. This deep sound practice will support you in freeing and embodying the power of your voice as a tool to shift your frequency, move stuck energy, connect to your heart and impact your reality, for your self and others. Our vocal sound practices have their roots inMystery School Traditions of Ancient Egypt, Indian Yoga of Sound and Tibetan Shamanism. A main recurring component are intuitive sounding circles where we co-create music and song through a special from of structured improvisation that gives access to our musical intuition, creativity and vocal expression. We will also explore singing into our bodies and opening healing temples that are created by our voices.
SOUND HEALING 101
You will learn the basics of how sound - both through voice and instruments - can access healing for the body, mind and spirit - and the ways you can facilitate a healing space for yourself and others with sound. You will discover how sound regulates your nervous system, gives us access to altered states of consciousness and opens a multidimensional healing portal for transformation, empowerment and guidance. We will also explore ancient sound prayer practices, where an alchemy of sound, intention and visualisation can manifest reality. You will learn how to create 1 on 1 sessions using for example tuning forks or voice.
THE HEALING TEMPLE OF NATURE
Elemental Healing is a journey of re-wilding our selves to our essence through the powerful elemental energetics in nature. This wild elemental energy can attune us to become more clear, well balanced, powerful and rich mediums for the medicine of sound. We do this through intentional rituals and ceremonies in specific hot spots in the area of Jotunheimen - most in hiking distance from our training venue. In glacial waterfalls, mountains tops, caves, rivers, lakes and forrests.
ELEMENTAL SOUND HEALING
The geometrical perfection and beauty of nature will be a source of inspiration for our creativity to flow. And the elements will play an important role in activating our authentic aliveness and initiate deep soul remembrance. Drumming around the fire, cleansing in the glacial waterfalls, climbing to the top of the mountains and standing in the wind will help us free our primal sounds. When we are deeply present with the elements in the mountains, waterfalls, caves and rivers, we get to experience their elemental sounds and songs and rhythms through our own voices and bodies. It is a deep elemental attunement when the elements express themselves through us and we receive their frequencies, rhythms and songs.
In summary Module 1 consists of a wide array of sound, voice and song practices:

CACAO DIETA
Over the years we have cultivated a unique alchemy of cacao, sound and prayer. We love how cacao gives us access to our intuition, and hearts, and leads to a very expanded state of awareness. This is truly one of most feminine heart pleant teachers and communing with her for 2 weeks will offer a deep journey into your heart and how cacao works energetically as a plant medicine. We alchemise cacao with other plants , like Blue Lotus, Rose, Reishi - as well as plants from the local wilderness like Chaga and Nettle.
Learning Methods
Our approach to learning is heavily steeped in non-formal and experiential learning practices - beyond skill learning, our programme is a whole person journey of becoming a fuller, richer and more authentic version of you.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING LAB
We are breaking free of the old teacher-student paradigm and holding space for you to tap into your intuitive mastery deeply seeded in your soul. Instead of a traditional top-down curriculum based approach to your learning, we allow you to take a deep experiential and participatory journey of empowerment, healing and activation. We offer a safe space to play outside your comfort zones; full heart-centered presence allowing authenticity, vulnerability and healing; ceremonial intention setting and initiations; strong tribal co-creation and loving community support. You will have access to a huge instrument library and we will initiate you into the energetic healing portal of gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, flutes and shamanic instruments including drums and much more. The learning environment is nourished by small group practices, personal mentoring and special feedback practice. Furthermore, your learning and growth will be supported by a Learning Pod.
INITIATING PATH AND PURPOSE
What is your sacred purpose and how can you bring it into form in the greater earth community? Our journey together holds great potential for you to connect to your souls calling and vision and to shift into a deeper allignment with the path you are destined to walk in this life. And part of our journey is to discover; where we are stuck, limited and holding ourselves back? What are the current thresholds that we need to meet and overcome in order for us to go to our next level of potential? These questions are at the core of our work - and a north star for our personal transformation, individually as well as a group. The programme is designed for you to open to receive more direct inspiration for a vision of your path.
FEELING IS HEALING
Our retreat is a safe space to truly feel all that is alive in you. A space to be seen and held with love and compassion and be supported to free yourself from the past and curiously sound your future alive. Our space is known for its capacity to cultivate vulnerability, authenticity, connection, personal responsibility, presence and safety allowing us to release what no longer serves and revealing our true essence. Allowing old wounds to be touched and witnessed as well as allowing all emotions - from tears of grief, to sounds of rage, fear, laughter and joy. We love to hold space for such an extremely courageous and often messy transformation through loving presence, sharing circles, personal space holding, authentic relating and connection time in and with nature.

THE VENUE
Our training is hosted at Soleggen Fjellstue (google maps link), in the National Park of Jotunheimen, Norway. It is a renovated traditional mountain lodge, run by a Rudolf Steiner Foundation. With the purpose of being a physical, cultural and educational bridge to nature. . The physical buidlings are literally surrounded by the wild valleys and mountains, glacial waterfalls, rivers and lakes. It gives us amazing access to the wilderness, and the energy surrounding the venue is stunning.
Soleggen is a power spot in the northern part of the National Park of Jotunheimen in Norway. Our indoor journeying space is a warm and spacious dome just adjacent to the Solegggen Fjellstue. The dome was intentionally built as a space for meditation, movement, sound and healing. The whole area is a magnificent nature dome at the European crown chakra, a place of extremely high vibration that will hold deep space for our journey.
HOW TO GET TO SOLEGGEN
The location of Soleggen Fjellstue is in Jotunheimen National Park close to the town of Otta (see the map here https://goo.gl/maps/hCcEr7DjSAs3L6ZX6). You can either drive to the retreat center. Or fly to Oslo Airport (Gardemoen) and take a train and a bus to a rendez-vous location close to the Soleggen Fjellstue (we pick you up and drive you the last 20 min into the mountains).
