Workshops
Sound massage for back problems
In this workshop, we look at how we can address stress-related back problems with the Peter Hess® sound method, how to design a sound massage, and how to follow basic principles such as "strengthening what is healthy" and the perspective of salutogenesis.

Cosmetics and sound
In this workshop, we show how different singing bowls can be used before, during and after a cosmetic treatment. Feeling comfortable during the treatment and enjoying the vibrations and sounds of the singing bowls is a special experience. Above all, it is also a practical demonstration for beauticians who do not yet have singing bowls in their repertoire.

Sound yoga
We invite you to let yourself be touched and seduced by the wonderful sounds and vibrations of the singing bowls, to connect with your very own inner sound and immerse yourself in your individual rhythm. Flowing like an ocean wave, you can let your breath come and go. During pranayama (breathing exercise), you can let your body flow smoothly and meditatively into the yoga exercises at your own rhythm.
Workshop leader: Janine Gabelmann

Gong sound yoga
In this workshop, we travel through our nadis (meridians/energy channels) with the sounds, vibrations and frequencies of the gong. We get our prana, our life energy, flowing. For each chakra, we connect with a "seed sound" and practice a yoga asana as well as pranayama (breathing exercise). In this way, we realign ourselves and bring balance to body, mind and soul. The vibration of the gong can support your self-healing powers. This allows tension and blockages to be released and your joy of life to unfold.

Sound games for children

Sound transformation with Peter Hess
Peter Hess is the founder of the sound massage named after him and last year developed the seminar "Sound Transformation", which he offers as an online seminar. In the one-hour workshop, he would like to offer participants excerpts from his program to join in. Transformation is understood as the process of change from the current state to a desired target state in the near future.
Transformation can also be a process through which a person gradually approaches a new level of consciousness over a certain period of time. Transformation is then a development, a movement, a change. Through sound transformation, we can connect with the origin and with our self and expand our consciousness. It is a protected space in which you are not distracted and can be undisturbed with yourself. Attention is directed inward.
Sound, sound spaces, sound meditations and short sound exercises provide the framework for positive development. Once we have experienced the effect of the various sound exercises, we only need a little time each day for sound exercises to let our own ideas arise within us and make them a reality.
Workshop leader: Peter Hess
