This training is not just about learning new techniques...it is about working with true intention, creating a conscious connection with people and instruments, being present, and holding a sacred space.
Why Hungary?
For years this training has lived on the island of Ibiza. This autumn it moves to the heart of Central Europe, and it brings something new with it.
Hungary has a grounding, nurturing quality, and you feel it as soon as you leave the city behind. This land's nature invites you to slow down, to return to your natural rhythm, to rebalance. For a sound healing training this matters more than it first seems. Before you can hold space and sound for others, you need to be settled and anchored in yourself. Spending the whole week here recalibrates your nervous system on a much deeper level, with the healing, grounding energy of Hungary and the sound healing practices working together.
Just north of Budapest, the Danube makes its great bend through forested hills, and in October the forest turns to gold. Budapest itself carries centuries of healing culture as the City of Thermal Baths. It is also easy to reach, with direct flights from across Europe at friendly prices and a short transfer to our peaceful setting.
This edition holds a few experiences you will not find on a standard sound healing training: a handpan workshop in cooperation with MAG Instruments, one of Europe's most respected handpan makers. An excursion to a giant Tibetan singing bowl, so large you can sit inside it. And when the weather allows, a sound session held outdoors in Hungary's beautiful nature.
A new land, a new chapter, the same heart-led work. If you feel the inner call to study sound in a place where healing runs deep, this is your invitation.

❤️ Deeply Immersive Experience
This training takes place in a restful, natural setting in the Danube Bend, that allows you to fully step out of your daily life and immerse deeply into sound awareness, connection and transformation.
👉 Included in your Training:
Erno Van Doesselaar is a Sound Healing Trainer, Soulbreath® Breath Teacher Trainer, and Yoga Teacher (E-RYT200, YACEP) with many years of experience guiding people through deep inner transformations using conscious breathwork, sound, meditation and mindfulness.
Music was already his big passion during childhood. He did not only listen to it, he felt it. The vibrations moved through his entire body, and often he would know how a composition would unfold before it did. He simply felt it. Looking back, this was his first real and natural connection with sound.
In his mid-twenties a profound awakening opened him to a path of self-discovery, spirituality and healing. He studied widely, from NLP and Reiki to breathwork, massage and meditation, and immersed himself in many spiritual teacher trainings. Gradually he became a Soulbreath® teacher and spiritual facilitator. In 1997 he experienced his first sound bath. Something in him immediately resonated deeply with it, and it inspired him to learn more.
For years he deepened his knowledge through professional sound healers who performed at yoga studios and teacher trainings where he was also teaching breathwork. That living immersion of watching, learning and feeling sound journeys eventually led him to study sound healing in person, and later to his own Sound Healing Teacher Trainings. Since then he has guided over 1600 participants through sound healing, and now brings that experience to Hungary as a teacher trainer.
What you will find in this training is not just technique. It is the depth, loving care and genuine presence that Erno brings to every session, rooted in the natural Sound Awareness he has been cultivating since childhood. In this training you will feel the difference between someone who has learned about sound healing, and someone who is really living it.

What to expect from this Sound Healing Teacher Training?
In a time where more and more sound healers are emerging, it becomes even more important to go beyond outer form, beauty, or technique alone.
This training is not only about learning instruments. It is
about learning how to work with sound from a deep connection within yourself, with your presence, sensitivity, groundedness and a real connection.
Because sound healing is not just about what you play, it is about the sound awareness. Your connection, the safe space that you create for others and the depth from which you offer it.
Highlights we will explore together:
How sound healing works and
How sound frequency affects us
Learning to truly connect to an instrument
The technical foundations of how to play
Learning to play Crystal Bowls - different techniques and combinations
Discovering more frequency instruments
Learning to play Tibetan singing bowls
Using singing bowls in individual sessions
Understanding what instruments you really need
We are very honored to include a special handpan workshop in cooperation with MAG Instruments. This is a unique opportunity that you will not find on a standard sound healing training.
MAG is one of Europe's most respected handpan makers. On our workshop day you will learn about the handpan both as a musical instrument and as an instrument for sound healing. You will discover different scales and layouts, understand what makes a handpan resonate, and have the chance to play. The focus, as always, is on expanding your Sound Awareness and your ability to truly listen.
The purpose of this day is the experience and the connection with a new instrument. Getting a deeper understanding of how to go beyond your own minds limitations and how to flow with sound frequencies. However, if during the workshop you find yourself falling in love with one of the handpans you play, there is the possibility to take that instrument home with you.
A handpan that already feels like yours.
This handpan workshop is included in your training.
As part of this training we make a special excursion to the largest Tibetan singing bowl in the world, here in Hungary.
This is a Guinness World Record singing bowl, more than two metres across and weighing over two and a half tonnes, with a deep fundamental tone you feel in every cell. It is so large that you can sit inside it while it is played, letting the vibration move through your whole body. For anyone who works with sound, sitting inside the world's biggest singing bowl is a once in a lifetime experience and a beautiful moment of integration during our week together.
This excursion is included in your training.
Hungary holds some truly beautiful natural sites, and when the weather allows it, we step outside for a special sound session in nature. There is something different about receiving and offering sound under open sky, with the ground beneath you and the forest around you. It deepens the grounding and the sense of connection that this land already gives, and it is a moment many people remember long after the training ends.
Start your sound journey in person!
👉 Get professional individual guidance
👉 Learn to truly connect and play skilfully
👉 Experience your sound healing connection
and your intention
One of the fundamental themes that we focus on in this teacher training, is how do we set up our sound bath and with what intention? This is very important because the instruments that we are using for a sound bath are enlarging the energies.
Our key points for this theme will be:
This means that if you are already a registered teacher, you can use this certificate to comply with the YA requirements for continuous education.

Yes, very much so, and it is just as meaningful if you already have experience. If you are completely new to sound, I will guide you step by step, so you feel safe and held from the very first day. And if you have been playing for a while, you will find the space to refine your touch, deepen your Sound Awareness and fill in the pieces that may have been missing. Whatever level you arrive at, I make sure you leave with a real, felt experience.
Yes. A big part of our week together is the teaching lab, where you practice with each other through playful partner exercises, give and receive real sessions, and get gentle, honest feedback in a safe and warm space. This is where the theory becomes something you can actually do and feel in your hands. You will leave able to hold sessions with confidence. And even after the training is over, I am always happy to support you with your questions as you find your own way.
Yes, the training is taught in English. I am a native Dutch speaker, so Dutch and German can also be accommodated when you need it. Most of the people who join me travel from the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and other parts of Europe, so you will be in good company in an international group near Budapest.
We gather in the Danube Bend, a beautiful natural area within easy reach of Budapest. The week includes a special handpan workshop in cooperation with MAG Instruments and a special excursion to the world's largest Tibetan singing bowl here in Hungary. Once you book, you will receive a welcoming email with more details.
Absolutely, and many of the people who join travel from abroad. Budapest is easy to reach from across Europe, often with direct and affordable flights, and from the airport our location is a transfer away. Before you arrive, I will guide you with easy to follow and precise instructions, to make sure that your journey is smooth and that you can land comfortably.
When you complete the training you receive a 50-hour Sound Healing Teacher Training YACEP certificate, confirming that you can facilitate sound healing sessions for groups and for individuals. People use this certificate to teach in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and far beyond.
Yes. Sound healing is generally practiced as a complementary wellness offering. After this certified training you can hold sound healing sessions, workshops and sound baths in line with the wellness guidelines in your own country.
You will get a lot of practical experience with crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, koshi, tuning forks, handpan and more. My focus is always both sides of it, the technical skill of how to play, and the intuitive, deep connection that you need to make a session authentic and well balanced in your own style.
Sound healing works through vibration and frequency, which influence the nervous system and our brainwave states. Sound frequencies can bring deep relaxation, ease stress, nervous system regulation and emotional balance. In the training you will learn the physically felt experiential side and the nervous-system science behind it, so you really understand what is happening when you play.
Because stepping away from your daily life really changes everything. Here in Hungary in the beautiful nature of the Danube Bend you can fully arrive, slow down and deeply immerse yourself, away from home. This land carries a deep and grounding healing energy that supports our sound healing practice. AND you will have more experiences that you simply cannot have at home: A unique Handpan workshop with MAG Instruments and sitting inside the world's largest singing bowl.
Our group has a maximum of 8 people. I keep it intentionally small to make sure that you get enough personal guidance, plenty of hands-on practice and a real connection with the others. That intimacy is exactly what makes the experience so rich, because it is the pure connection that builds a unique sound healing session.
You will be able to structure and lead harmonious sound baths, offer private one-on-one sound healing sessions, work confidently with a range of instruments, understand how to regulate the nervous system through sound, and bring sound healing into your yoga classes, retreats or wellness work.
Yes, your accommodation during the training is included. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport connects to most major European cities, so travelling here is straightforward, and from there the Danube Bend is a short transfer away.
You secure your place with a €500 deposit. I would book sooner rather than later, as there are only a few places and the group is small. ( maximum 8 ) And if you have more questions, or you are not 100% sure whether this is right for you, just message me, I am always happy to talk it through with you personally.
If you are an EU citizen, for example from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany or France, you do not need a visa. UK participants can join short trainings in Hungary under the standard tourist entry conditions. Do always check the current rules before you travel.
