Who this is for
The art and practice of working with sound
Alchemy of Sound and In Depth are two complementary sound trainings created and taught by Soulravel founders Natalija and Jonny, hosted at Senses Sri Lanka.
Bringing together musical understanding, embodied practice and deep listening, these trainings explore how to create multi-instrumental sound journeys and guide others with care. Participants work with a wide range of high quality instruments gathered around the world from different makers. You will explore and play with Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, flutes, hand pan, chimes, tuning forks, harmonium, shruti box and many more instruments.

The structure
The two levels
Alchemy of Sound · Level 1
Four days · 30 hours · YACEP
A foundation for those wishing to share sound with others or deepen their own practice. The science of sound, accessible music theory and nervous-system awareness come together with hands-on instrument exploration, somatic movement, vocal toning and Nada Yoga.
Participants learn to shape complete multi-instrumental journeys and develop trauma-aware facilitation skills for both 1:1 sessions and group sound baths. Practice in pairs and small groups leads into creating and guiding a sound journey, with personal feedback from Natalija and Jonny. No previous experience is needed.
In Depth · Level 2
Three days · 20 hours · YACEP
A closer exploration of voice, musicianship and the art of facilitation. Breath, toning and Indian melodic exercises support vocal confidence, accuracy and range, while applied music theory and focused instrument labs deepen the understanding of harmony, layering, pacing and transitions.
Small-group practice offers individual feedback on playing and guiding, with attention to verbal and somatic cueing, the challenges of holding space, and trauma-aware facilitation in 1:1 and group settings. The training also supports participants in shaping their offerings and presenting their work professionally.
Take Level 1 on its own, stay for both levels over seven days, or return for Level 2. Practitioners with a comparable foundation training elsewhere can join Level 2 following a conversation with Natalija and Jonny.
Your facilitators
Held by Soulravel
Soulravel
Natalija & Jonny
Soulravel grew from Natalija and Jonny's shared love of music, yoga and bringing people together. With backgrounds in music, community work and years of teaching yoga, they offer retreats, trainings and gatherings across Europe and Asia.
Their work brings together sound, movement and breath with a deep appreciation for community and the many ways we can learn from practicing together. Whether sharing a sound journey, teaching or sitting in circle, they create space for people to explore, express themselves and feel welcome as they are.
At Senses, they share this through regular yoga classes, sound journeys, practitioner trainings and community gatherings.

Student voices
What graduates say
“The sound practitioner training by Nati and Jonny was just so great! I could feel the love and passion they poured into everything they did. The program was well organised and I felt comfortable during the whole training. They are both warm hearted, extremely talented and wonderful souls. Thank you for your presence, wisdom and guidance Nati and Jonny! I recommend everyone who wants to try something new, get insights or deepen their practice about sound or yoga to get in touch with Soulravel.”
George, UK
“From the very first moment, Nati and Jonny created a space where you can let go and simply be. Their warm, welcoming nature and openness surrounds the room and fills you with love. It was a wonderful and very educational four days with a fantastic group! The mix of theory and practice was the perfect balance, and the acquired knowledge could be applied during the course itself. I particularly appreciated being able to familiarize ourselves with the different instruments. You can feel that a lot of love, effort, and passion went into this training. Thank you so much, dear Nati and Jonny, from the bottom of my heart!”
Umesha, Sri Lanka
“Natalia and Johnny created a warm and peaceful atmosphere to learn a perfect balance between ancient techniques and the science of sound. For me it wasn't just learning about sound, I learned about myself. They gave us space to feel and connect as a group and I didn't want the 4 days to end. This course is for anyone wanting to deepen their listening and learn the healing powers of sound to incorporate into their personal or professional practice. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

Good to know
Before you book
Do I need to own instruments?
No. Everything is provided during the training. We will also tell you honestly what to buy first, and what can wait, when you start offering your own sessions.
Do I need musical training?
No musical background required. This is about listening, intention and the physics of vibration, not performance.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 covers foundations up to your first complete sound journey. Level 2 goes deeper into gong work, voice, mantra, group dynamics and longer layered ceremonies. Book either alone, or both together.
Are food and accommodation included?
No, to keep it accessible. Rooms are available on the farm, including a female-only six-bed dorm, plus guesthouses within walking distance.
Let the sound do what words never could
