SOMKURA Teacher Training - A Journey into Sound Healing and Ancient Wisdom

“Learn the music of your Soul and you will never get lost”

This three-day intense training will bring you unique tools to apply in your classes or individual therapy. The tools will help heal and support your students, whether they are children or teenagers. These tools are techniques rescued from ancient wisdom of indigenous people in South America, Africa, Australia and Asia and adapted by me, so you can introduce and use them in your work with children and teenagers of this time and age.

With these unique tools you create:

- A more profound relationship and trust with your group/ the child

- A safe place in which they can heal and reconnect with themselves

- Emotional, physical and mental healing as they are able to unlock their blockages of limitations

- A reconnection from children/teenagers with their own true nature and nature in itself

- A playfull, holistic tool to create a inspiring, healing space in groups with children/teens or at Home

"We are vibrational beings and our cells can vibrate in different frequencies. When we use ancient techniques and the Healing Power of Sound, our cells will vibrate in harmony and in this state... there is no space for illness.”

This unique training consists of three days of intensive course on location + one follow up Zoom half-day course to be able to exchange experiences, ask questions and get new inspiration by Maphalda

This training is created for:

. Kids&Teens Yoga Teachers

. Psychologists/ therapists/coaches who (want) to work body-oriented and via sound healing and practices from ancient wisdom

. School and Kindergarten teachers who want to have unique techniques to introduce kids to meditation and relaxation at home or in school/childcare.

. Parents who would love to help their own children/teens to heal from daily stressors with soundhealing and other effective but not so widely known techniques

At the end of this complete training you’ll know and have experienced:

. How sound can heal and why

. Which sounds and meditations are suitable for children and teenagers

. How you can make these sounds with instruments

. Use your own voice as a healing tool

. How to integrate sound healing and old ancient techniques in your yogaclass or individual therapy

. Know and have experienced how you can help children reconnect with nature and their nature

. How to use the sound healing, instruments and the old, ancestral techniques in different situations

Module 1

Sound Medicine: the healing power of sound for children and teenagers

Every cell in our body has a certain vibration. As we exist for 80% of water, frequencies and vibrations move very fast through our bodies. When we are subjected to a less positive or harmonious vibration, our cells fall out of harmony. But good vibrations, like from ancient instruments, can create a soothing effect throughout your entire body, mind and soul.

Sound Healing has many emotional, physical and mental benefits, but will mostly help your students to:

. Balance | Reduced stress and Anxiety

. Improve sleep | Better pain management

. Clear energetic blockages | fewer mood swings

. Deep Relaxation | Release emotional trauma

In this training, we will explore various ways of harmonization through sound, using instruments and also our voice. We will work on the physical, emotional and mental body but we will also direct attention to the energetic body and the chakras. You will learn the theory and the ‘how to do this’ in a way that suits children and teenagers.

Module 2

Ancient techniques and rituals to connect with nature

Since the beginning of our existence, we are connected to nature, in fact, we are part of it!

Human beings have always had their healing rituals and found ways to live life in a balanced way, respecting the cycles in nature and learning to flow with them.

In the life we live now, we need to rebalance ourselves and make a new (deeper) connection to nature. This is important for all people and especially for children and teenagers, as they are so closely connected to technology/devices.

In this training, you will learn old, ancestral and safe practices which I have adopted for children and teenagers. These practices will help your (yoga/coaching) students:

. To be more confident

. To flow and learn from nature’s cycles

. How to release emotions

. Creatively express themselves

. Heal, align and feel more courage

. Strengthen their emotional system

The practices will also bring a feeling of unity and belonging to a group and inspire children/teenagers to live more in balance with their own nature and the nature that surrounds them.

Module 3

Follow up | Zoom Session

After a training, starting to use all the tools and techniques in your own (professional) life, it can be really helpful to have a moment to reconnect with Maphalda, because you will probably have questions after a month and a half of 'realtime' practice.

This two and a half hours zoom session is created so that you can share your doubts and also learn from the questions that your colleagues will bring in.

Besides clarifying your questions, this is always a great moment of creativity where new ideas for applying the techniques to classes and therapies can emerge.
