My journey in Sound Healing began late 2019 when my curiosity of sound frequencies enhancing and healing the mind, body and soul began. I joined a few sound bath experiences, but it wasn’t until 2021 where my heart was ripped open in a fully immersive Sound Bath Ceremony in Malibu, California (my home state). The chic, welcoming environment and the openness of the practitioner and the participants were so real and raw that I HAD to bring this practice to my community. It changed me in a deep way that I wanted to recreate that magical moment over and over again in my own way.
In May 2022, I had the honor to be trained by a Professional Intuitive Sound Healer and today I am so excited to host my FOURTH Sound Healer Certification Course to provide my personal experience and expertise in this RAPIDLY growing field.
My style is both intuitive and structured. I provide impactful, welcoming and soul-led sound baths by curating a fully immersive experience that allows mind and body to settle before any sound even begins. How? Each sound bath is an experience- it is intentional. From the meditation used to calm the mind, the practitioner’s tone of voice, demeanor, and in my opinion, even the set up can make the difference. For me, a sound bath is more than “just” bowls being played. It’s a grounded time to be led back to self.
About the Training:
This training is open to anyone interested in learning about the mechanics of sound frequencies and their impact on the mind, body, and soul. It is designed for those who feel called to lead intentional, ethical, and heart-centered sound bath experiences. Throughout the course, students will explore both scientific research and intuitive methods, while being encouraged to experiment with their own techniques to begin developing a unique personal style.
The course is a mixture of lecture and hands-on learning. This structure ensures students not only learn the technical fundamentals but also begin shaping their unique voice as practitioners from day one.
The certification course includes ONE 8” inch C Note Crystal Sound Bowl. This allows students to practice at home as they begin to build their own collection.
Lectures will be both on the floor on padded meditation mats and on chairs. Students are encouraged (although optional) to bring in any additional items they need to maximize their comfort during the three day course (ie meditation pillow, blankets, etc).
Each day the course will either begin or include meditation and yoga. Even though ARY Retreats will have mats available, students may bring their own yoga mat.
On day 3 of the certification, students will have the opportunity to lead a community sound bath with their peers to put into practice what they have learned throughout the certification course. Students are encouraged to invite friends, family and their community to partake in the community experience. For this portion of the course, students are required to wear neutral-colored clothing (white, cream, tan, beige).
To continue the celebration and uniqueness of each practitioner, day 3 of the certification students will have the opportunity to work with a professional photographer to begin building their portfolio for marketing purposes. Students may wear anything they feel represents them and their style. Students may bring any additional props to their photoshoot they would like to include (branding items, additional instruments, decor, etc). ARY Retreats will have a gong, sound bowls, and chimes available for students to use for their photoshoot.
Three months after the certification is complete, students will have the opportunity to book a 30 minute consultation with Annette to discuss anything they need to further their career in sound healing.

FAQs:
Do you have to be “Certified” to be a Sound Healer?
Technically, no. There is no “governing board” that approves or denies your capacity to lead sound baths. However, ARY Retreats believes ethically you should understand the basic mechanics, fundamentals, and contraindications before using these types of methods on clients and community.
Is ARY Retreats providing overnight accommodations?

NOBLE SOUND HEALING CEREMONIES
Escape the City with a Noble Sound Healing in Nature
Year Round // Private Ceremonies Available Upon Request
This intimate sound bath experience is exclusively for those seeking a unique escape away from the city. Just 1.5 hours outside of Dallas, Texas , Camp Discovery offers beautiful scenic walking paths amongst the immense trees of Hopkins County.
As guests enter our family campgrounds they will be transported to a place of serenity. Guests will only need to bring water + wear comfortable clothing as we will have everything beautifully prepared for a relaxing outdoor sound bath experience (mat, light blanket, and pillows).
Guests will park in a designated area and will be greeted by our certified Sound Healer. Our healer will lead our guests to the yoga deck where the ceremony will take place for the next 1.5 hours.
Before entering the sound healing space, our Sound Healer will cleanse each guest with sage, juniper, or incense. Once everyone is cleansed, guests will find their seats on their beautifully arranged mats.
Once they settle and get comfortable, the healing session will begin with a short mediation to amplify the experience.
After the sound healing session concludes, the sound healer will give time for guests to share what they saw, felt, and/or experienced.
To reflect on the experience, guests will be encouraged to take a nature walk around the property amongst or stay for a picnic on our custom made farm table.

CACAO CEREMONY
On Going | Cumby, Texas
UPCOMING DATE TBD
Leave your info below to be the first to know the upcoming dates!
Join us for a beautiful, quiet afternoon at Camp Discovery’s for our Cacao Ceremony with Sana con Tere- a DFW based experienced Cacao Ceremonialist.
The afternoon begins with a gentle cleansing with copal (Mayan incense) around the body to clear you from any negative energy. You will then be guided to sit on your padded mat in quiet meditation and will have the OPTION to initiate the ceremony with HAPÉ - a safe, non-psychedelic plant medicine made from tobacco, that is inhaled through each nostril that “is used for deep connection to the spirits, animals and Mother Nature, it is very cleansing and powerfully healing for the body, mind, and soul.” It is said to decalcify the pineal gland for higher expansion.
The purpose for HAPÉ is to help you fully integrate into the experience, relax and let go. It is a VERY grounding medicine.
After the optional HAPÉ, the ceremony will officially begin. Tere will briefly explain the purpose and healing properties of Cacao and gently prepare with song and meditation to drink the heart opening elixir.
Please note, this is not a psychedelic experience. It is simply an experience for you to slow down, connect with nature and yourself.
You are encouraged to come solo, with a friend or partner.
Mats are provided.
Bring water, warms clothes and a blanket. Depending on weather, ceremony may be held inside a glamping tent.

_______
“Cacao ceremonies today have …a genuine desire to connect with, to be guided by, and to learn from cacao. Cacao ceremony is an opportunity to listen and connect.
Cacao Ceremony means relating with cacao with gratitude, intention, and reciprocity. There are infinite ways to do a cacao ceremony, both as a solo practice and in a group context, as ceremony is an art form that responds to what is arising and true in the present moment.
When we relate with cacao ceremonially, we open our apertures to a far greater experience than simply enjoying cacao as a delicious beverage with health, mood, and energy benefits. While all of these are compelling reasons to drink cacao, according to some Indigenous elders, ceremony is the way to put our lives into order and, in turn, bring the cosmos into order.
Cacao is a teacher that is skilled at helping us reconnect with our own hearts, tend our relationships, and walk through life purposefully and guided by clear vision.
The three universal pillars that we see as core to creating cacao ceremony are: gratitude, intention, and reciprocity.” -Ora Cacao
