YOUR FACILITATOR - KIRK JONES, MS
Kirk Jones, MS, Master Sound Healer & Founder of Evolvlove Sound & Light Academy
Kirk was powerfully drawn to singing bowls 23 years ago, attracted to the power and beauty of the rich, ancient tones. 10 years later, he witnessed how singing bowls resonated with and elevated his own spiritual and healing journeys, so he decided to learn how to apply this to his own life and to help others.
Since then, he has assisted thousands of people on their own healing journeys, bringing great joy, relaxation, pain relief, emotional release, spiritual upliftment, clarity, and empowerment. He is honored to use and share this sacred gift.
Kirk is a member of the Sound Healers Association, a facilitator for the International Academy of Sound Healing, and a consultant to the Medical Sound Association.
Feedback from Kirk's trainings
"I would recommend this training/retreat to anyone even curious about sound healing. It was in fact healing on a degree I did not expect & cracked me open to other possibilities of how I can bring this to my community & mostly myself. It's another beautiful tool of self-care & something special to offer to loved ones."
"I couldn't have possibly expected the level of healing I experienced. I can't wait to pay it forward. Thank you!"
"So grateful for this experience and knowledge to carry back home with me. I learned so much about myself - going home a renewed and rejuvenated me!"
"The class was very educational. The hands-on experience was more than I could have asked for. Bowls on my body is incredible. Thank you!"
"Thank you for a wonderful and beautifully healing class experience! Sound is incredibly powerful, healing, and beautiful. I'm so excited to explore and play with this more and bring it to others in my healing practice."
