The Art of Private Sound Medicine
✨ 5-Day Intensive | May 14–18, 2026
📍 San Antonio, TX

Sound medicine is not only about the instruments we play —
it is about the space we learn to hold.

Join Michael Enderle and Yaelle Shaphir, L.Ac. for a deeply immersive 5-day training in the art of one-on-one sound healing.

Whether you are just beginning or already on the path, this experience will refine your listening, deepen your presence, and expand your relationship with sound as true medicine.



What You’ll Explore
🔸 Bronze Age Instruments — gongs, bowls, tuning forks, drums, rattles, bells, conch & shruti
🔸 Private Session Facilitation — how to hold, read, and guide a client journey
🔸 Sound Science — resonance, entrainment & vibrational healing
🔸 Nervous System Reset — vagus nerve + parasympathetic activation
🔸 Sacred Techniques — breath, ritual, and ancient practices
🔸 Presence & Intuition — becoming the instrument

Each day is a blend of teaching + hands-on “playshop” integration.



A Rare Opportunity
Train inside a real gong forge at Schroeder Studios.
Witness instruments being born — from raw metal to living sound.



Investment
$963 includes training, instruments, manual + certificate
Optional add-on: Life As A Shruti ($40)

Comfortable clothes • mat • blanket • eye mask • water

meditation…
sit or lay down or float….
You observe your breath.
You notice thoughts arise… and pass.
You feel emotions… without clinging or resisting.
And in that simple awareness, something shifts:

I am
not my thoughts.
I am
not my cravings.
I am
not my fears.
They come… and they go.
The practice creates results:
• less reactivity
• less attachment
• more (peaceful) mind
life hasn’t changed…
My relationship to life has changed.
