2023 EDITION TESTIMONIAL:
"Martin's training not only takes you through the wisdom of the gong and how to play it but also dives deep into the essence of sound itself and different elements that make up the entirety of what it means to be a sound healer. The training was built on fundamental principles of sound healing, while also providing me the autonomy to be my own artist and tune into my unique practice and what resonated with me. I really value Martin's holistic approach to sound healing and would highly recommend this training to anyone who wishes to become a gong practitioner or to dive more deeply into this world."
