Forge a Singing Bowl
An Alchemy of Sound Residential
13 -16 August 2025
2pm Wednesday to 6:30pm Saturday

Deep Renewal and Living Co-Creation in the Heartland of Scotland
​
Be with us for a fully residential three and a half day immersion into forging sound.
To bring your own singing bowl into being offers surprising and wondrous openings . . .
Feed your whole being through a creative act as you open to a deeper sense of attunement with your own life and a wider sense of connection with the world around you.
. . . an invitation to meet the wonders of alchemy as you engage in a truly co-creative process of bringing a beautiful and unique sound being into form.
​
Forging Sound is A Co-Creative Process
​
​
These days and nights will offer you an immersion into the world of sound from the beautiful perspective of living in co-creation with Nature.
​
Through our own hand crafted instruments, sound sessions and stories, skilled and sensitive guidance we will take you into a making process that comes to us through a lineage of sound forging as a sacred art – an act that can support life in every way.
​
To craft your own singing bowl is a rich and expansive experience of immersion into an ancient process of forging, working closely with the elements and the tools whilst bringing a new consciousness to every moment. You will scribe, cut, shape, fire and sink your own small singing bowl, made of copper, brass or bronze.
At the end of the workshop you will not only have a beautiful, fine frequency sound companion and ally, you will have gone through an embodied experience of personal and alchemical change yourself.
​
Please note that this is not a blacksmithing process but a ‘softer’ engagement with metal and fire through copper-smithing techniques developed over many years and honed to a fine level of expertise and always with acknowledgment of a sacred lineage and connection to sound as a fine healing pathway for assisting consciousness and greater wellbeing.
​
The instruments, singing bowls or bells are finely tuned through the process itself – one that invites both you, the maker, and the metal instrument to become a harmonic and coherent being. Working together with the fire, the tools and the metal, together you forge a relationship as you bring forward your own beautiful sound frequencies . . . An instrument that may not only support and assist your own life but that of others, from now and for our collective ongoing futures.
​
The workshop is suitable for people of all ages from as young as 12 and the older ageless. A level of fitness that allows you to use your hands with some dexterity and strength is helpful. Please get in touch with us if you have questions or concerns about the suitability of the work for yourself.
