Sound Trance Formation

Here we present a training cycle in musictherapy and trancetherapy for personal, professional and spiritual development.

This course starts in october 2011 and consists in 6 consecutive blocks over a period of 2 years with 3 weekend workshops per year. It is conceived for therapists in general, (psychologists, musictherapists, psychotherapist, socialtherapists and arttherapists), and people who are searching a wider and spiritual approach to their own work in a therapeutical context. It also can be a good complement for musicians, artists, coaches, etc.

The leading team is:
• Dr. Peter Hess, psychiatrist, neurologist,
musictherapist (Germany);
• Heike Hess, holistic health practitioner, sound therapist (Germany); and
• Joel Olivé, musictherapist, musician (Spain)



The sound and trance formation course is based on 30 years of experience and development in psychotherapy, psychiatry and musictherapy. Peter Hess has invented this new form of receptive music therapy, the so-called Gong Therapy. This is very similar to psychedelic therapy developed by Stanislav Grof and Richard Yensen (psychedelic = reveal / decode the soul) and shamanic rituals, but has the advantage that these experiences can be better integrated in our culture and society. Archaic instruments in sound trance create a connection with the roots of our own existence in the womb but also with the roots of humanity as a whole. This enables us to overcome the duality and leads to a new consciousness model through mindful awareness of the inner process.
