Learn to play singing bowls & trust what you hear.
An 8-week live training in singing bowls, sound, voice and intuitive facilitation. This isn't about memorizing someone else's formula. You'll learn the practical foundations of working with singing bowls while developing the listening, embodiment and intuitive skills to create sound experiences that are uniquely yours. Whether you've never picked up a bowl or already own one and want to go deeper, this is where you build your own relationship with sound.
Choose Your Cohort →In-person begins October 20, virtual begins October 22. Kept small on purpose, once it fills, enrollment closes for this round.
You trust yourself. Just not always. Not consistently enough to stop checking.
- You've been wanting a singing bowl and don't know where to start, or you already own one and still hesitate before you play it.
- You know there's more wanting to move through your channel and your voice, and being seen and heard for it still feels vulnerable.
- Discernment is the piece that trips you up: telling the difference between ego, fear, God/Source, or intuition.
- You want what's beyond you, call it God, source, spirit, your own soul, to move through you with more ease, more trust, more faith, and less second-guessing.
- You already know. You just haven't stopped asking everyone else first.
- Another year of thinking about this will look a lot like this year did.
By the end of our 8 weeks, you'll be able to:
Confidently hold and play your singing bowl
Create different sounds, tones and textures with your bowl
Work with resonance, vibration and sustained tones
Work intuitively with one or multiple bowls
Combine singing bowls with your voice and toning
Create a simple beginning, middle and closing for a sound experience
Use your listening and intuition to decide what sound is needed in the moment
Hold space for another person or a small group
Create and facilitate your own 10-minute sound experience
This is not about learning a rigid sequence and repeating it forever. It's about developing enough practical skill, listening and embodied confidence that you can pick up your bowl, listen, respond and create.
Learn the instrument. Then make it your own.
Yes, you'll learn the singing bowl itself: how to hold it, use the mallet, strike and sing the rim, and work with tone and resonance. From there, sound becomes the vehicle. There's no rigid formula to memorize. You develop your own authority in your relationship with sound, learning to listen deeply, discern what you receive, trust it, and respond.
This is where you come home to your soul gifts, whether you're discovering them for the first time or deepening a knowing you've already carried for years, with sound as what gets you there. You'll leave with real confidence in your intuitive listening and your psychic senses, not because someone else validated them, but because you've practiced trusting them, out loud, in front of people.
You'll stop looking outside yourself for the "right" way, and start developing your own capacity to meet what's actually in front of you. You don't leave sounding like Karlee. You leave sounding like you.
Every month this stays a feeling instead of a practice, it stays exactly where it's been. Eight weeks from now, it doesn't have to be a feeling anymore.
What changes over 8 weeks
What you'll learn
Eight weeks, each one opening something further: your listening, your discernment, your voice, your gifts. By the end, you're not just trusting yourself. You're someone whose gifts are visible, expressed & impossible to keep quiet.
Open
Your first relationship with the bowl. Learn how to hold, strike and work with your bowl: using the mallet, singing the rim, and hearing the difference in tone and resonance, while you begin developing your own listening practice. You feel safe enough in your body to open fully to who you know, deep down, you came here to be. Grounding and protection are woven in from the start.
Receive
Listening to resonance. Explore tone, vibration and sustain, and how to listen beyond simply "playing the bowl." You already hear yourself. What you build here is discernment, between ego, fear, God/Source, or intuition, and the awareness to know which one is speaking. You'll begin attuning your chakras through sound, deepening what you already know into something felt, not just understood.
Trust
Moving beyond the formula. Begin responding to what you hear rather than relying on a predetermined sequence. You move before you're certain, and it turns out better than you ever could have hoped or expected. This is where playing becomes a sound journey, as you learn to shape an opening, a middle, and a close guided by what you hear.
Speak
Bringing voice into sound. Explore toning, vocalization and the relationship between your voice and your bowl. Something moves through you, unscripted, and you let it. Language and voice entering your practice while you play.
Tone
Creating with sound. Develop your ability to layer, sustain and shape sound intentionally. Vibration moves through your own body. Toning work, releasing the need for it to sound a certain way.
Highest expression
Your unique sound language. Bring together bowl, voice and intuition to discover what is uniquely yours. Whatever wants to come through, comes through, unedited. Intuitive vocalization, light language, or your own version of it.
Hold
Facilitating sound for others. Learn the foundations of holding space, reading the room and responding to another person's experience. You feel capable of holding space for another person: opening sacred space, setting intention, guiding someone into and out of a sound experience, and closing with care.
Share
Your first sound experience. Create and facilitate a 10-minute intuitive sound experience for the group, created and held by you. You are witnessed, fully.
By week eight, you create and hold a 10-minute sound experience.
Your own intuitive sound journey, built with your bowl and your voice, facilitated live for the group and witnessed fully. Everything in the eight weeks leads here, so you finish having done it, with people in the room.
The practical bowl skills you'll build
This is an intuitive and ceremonial training, and you'll also be learning the practical skills of actually working with singing bowls. You'll learn:
- How to hold and play your bowl with confidence
- Different playing techniques and how to discover the sounds your bowl naturally creates
- How to listen for changes in tone, resonance and vibration
- How to work with one or multiple bowls together
- How to begin and close a simple sound experience
- How to intuitively choose what to play without relying on a predetermined sequence
- How to bring voice, toning and other sound into your bowl practice
- How to create and facilitate your own 10-minute sound experience
The intention isn't to give you a rigid formula to follow. It's to give you enough practical skill and experience that you can pick up your bowl, listen, respond and create from your own embodied knowing.
How it works
A real cohort, not a self-paced course. A small group (up to twelve virtually) who practice together, get witnessed, and eventually facilitate, so the learning happens in relationship, not isolation. Each week follows the same rhythm: learn the skill, play it, be witnessed, refine it, and integrate it before the next session.
- Format8 weekly live sessions, virtual or in-person in Kelowna. In-Person begins Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Virtual begins Thursday, October 22, 2026, and meets on Thursdays.
- ContainerA sacred space held consistently across the eight weeks, with a small, witnessed community.
- SupportQuestions answered between sessions as needed.
- Bowl attunementA guided, intuitive structure to understand what your bowls are for you and how you'd like to play them, including how to attune yourself to them.
- ChakrasAttuning your chakras through sound, using your bowls to work with what you already understand on a felt, embodied level.
- Clearings & activationsTo embody your visibility, confidence, voice, power, and gifts.
- IntegrationEmbodiment practices to integrate what moves through you each week.
- What you'll needHaving your own singing bowl at home will be beneficial because you'll be practicing throughout the 8 weeks and developing an ongoing relationship with your instrument. Don't have one yet? That's okay. In the in-person cohort, you'll be able to work with Karlee's bowls during our sessions, and you'll also receive guidance on what to look for if you'd like to choose a bowl of your own. For the virtual cohort, it's best to have access to a singing bowl to practice with at home, and if you don't have one yet, Karlee can help guide you in choosing one. You don't need a collection of bowls or expensive equipment to begin. One bowl is enough.
- AccessLifetime access to all session recordings.
- Local opportunityA chance to facilitate alongside Karlee if you're local and in-person.
- CompletionA certificate of completion at the end.
What makes this different
You'll learn real, hands-on bowl skills, practiced live with guidance and feedback and witnessed by a small group, something a video on your own can't give you. There's no rigid sequence to memorize, and it isn't a standardized certification.
Not this
- A rigid, standardized sound-healing certification
- Someone telling you exactly which bowl to play and when
- A formula you can copy
- A purely technical course on singing bowls
- Learning alone from videos, with no one to hear you play
- A credential for a regulated healthcare profession
This, instead
- Developing your own intuitive relationship with sound
- Learning to listen, discern, and trust what you receive
- Your own sound language, not a copy of anyone else's
- Facilitating from presence, not performance
- A skill you build through practice and being witnessed
- Live practice with your bowl, with guidance and feedback each week
This is for you if…
- You've felt drawn to singing bowls but don't know how to begin.
- You already own a bowl but want to feel more confident playing it.
- You want to understand the practical foundations of working with sound.
- You want to learn how to create sound experiences rather than simply follow a script.
- You feel called to bring singing bowls into your offerings, ceremonies, circles or personal practice.
- You want to develop your ear, intuition and relationship with sound alongside the practical skills.
- You're curious about bringing your voice and toning into your bowl practice.
- You want to come home to your soul gifts, whether you're discovering them for the first time or deepening what you already sense, with sound as the vehicle.
You don't need to consider yourself a sound healer, musician or experienced facilitator to begin.
This isn't for you if
- You're not open to being seen or being of service through what you learn
- You're looking for a formal, standardized training
- You'd rather not deepen your intuition or your relationship with sound
- You're not interested in becoming more embodied in your soul gifts and mission
- You want someone else to tell you exactly what to do, every time
What you'll walk away with
You can walk into a room, pick up your bowl, and create a real sound experience for someone else, without needing a script or a plan worked out in advance.
You have an actual practice you return to, not just a feeling you once had. Your bowl, your voice, your intuition, things you now use, not just believe in.
You trust what you hear and feel enough to act on it, not because someone confirmed you were right, but because you've practiced following it and watched it hold true.
You say the thing you've been holding back, in the moment it actually needs to be said.
Your nervous system knows what it feels like to settle into your own frequency, and you can find your way back there on your own, without needing a 10-minute guided meditation, a breathwork session, or someone else walking you through it.

Before you join
Yes. Having your own singing bowl at home will be beneficial because you'll be practicing throughout the 8 weeks, but you don't need one to enroll. In the in-person cohort, you'll be able to work with Karlee's bowls during our sessions. For the virtual cohort, it's best to have access to a bowl to practice with at home, and Karlee can help guide you in choosing one. One bowl is enough. You don't need a collection or expensive equipment to begin.
No. You don't need to know how to play singing bowls before joining. We'll begin with the foundations and build from there. If you've already been working with bowls, you'll have space to deepen your technique, listening and intuitive relationship with sound.
That's exactly what weeks four and five are for. This isn't about singing, it's about speaking and toning, letting sound and language move through you while you play, and releasing the need for it to sound a certain way, inside a space that's actually held for that. How much of your voice you share, and when, is always your call. Most people arrive nervous. That's the starting point, not a reason to wait.
No. Some people complete this training and go on to facilitate for others. Others use what they learn purely for their own expansion, expression, and embodiment. Both paths are supported here.
This is a hands-on singing bowl training rather than a professional certification program. The focus is on learning, practice, embodied skill, intuitive listening and developing your own way of working with sound. You'll receive a certificate of completion at the end, and it isn't a standardized or regulated healthcare credential.
No. Some people arrive already knowing they want to facilitate. Others simply feel there's more in them, without being able to name it yet. The eight weeks are built to help you find out.
Compare it to what waiting actually costs. Another year of owning a bowl you're unsure how to use, another year of the gift staying private instead of practiced. This gives you a real skill, a real practice, a witnessed community, and lifetime access to every session, not a single workshop you forget by next month.
Yes. Payment plans are available, and depending on when you enroll, it can work out to as low as around $250 a month. Message Karlee directly & she'll help you find a plan that actually fits your budget. Money shouldn't be the reason you sit this one out.
One live session a week is the real commitment, plus a few minutes a day with your bowl if you want to practice between sessions. That's it. Miss a live session and you still have lifetime access to the recording, so nothing is lost. The bigger cost isn't the time this takes. It's the time you've already spent circling this without a structure to actually move it forward.
This isn't a self-paced course you can quietly abandon in a folder. You're in a live cohort, being witnessed weekly by real people who notice when you're not there. That container is part of the design, and it's often the difference between another good idea and something you actually finish.
Once you enroll, you'll receive a welcome email with your cohort details, session dates, and everything you need to prepare. The in-person cohort begins Tuesday, October 20, and the virtual cohort begins Thursday, October 22. You don't need to have everything figured out before you arrive. Just bring yourself, an open heart, and your willingness to explore.
From "I need to figure it out" to "I know. I trust it. I move."
- You receive an impulse, and you trust it, instead of needing outside confirmation first.
- You pick up your bowl and follow the sound's breadcrumbs, wherever they lead.
- You say the thing you've been afraid to say.
- You create the offer, the session, the sound journey you've been sitting on.
- You facilitate for another person and stay present while you're being witnessed.
Trust what you know. Follow what you hear. Let your gifts move.
Because the fastest way to actually trust your gift is to use it before you feel fully ready.
