Facilitator: Aiste Venskune Aiste Venskune is a psychologist, sound therapist, art therapist, life coach and reiki master. Currently, she is on her way to becoming a certified hypnotherapist. In 2007, Aiste first became interested in sound therapy when she started attending gong baths regularly to find balance during her graduate programme in Psychology at Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania.

 In 2013, her interest deepened when she had the opportunity to explore the effect of a variety of therapeutic instruments at a retreat centre close to Vilnius. Shortly after, Aiste began her training with one of the leading Lithuanian sound therapists Raimondas Binkauskas who taught her to apply singing bowls for healing purposes. Since then, she has trained and played alongside with all heavyweights in the sound therapy community, among them Alicija Eiliakas, Aidan McIntyre and Don Conreaux.

What participants say after taking course: “Aiste patiently walked the class trough the basics of the singing bowls, gongs and a multitude of other therapeutic instruments. When we had the basics, she gently pushed us beyond our comfort zones, so that we could find our own voice and to stand independently. The STP course helped me tap into my healing abilities and personally was a true eye opener. No matter where you are in your personal development journey, I wound highly recommend this course.” – A.M. 

“Even though I felt I learned so much, so many techniques and details in this course, I think what I most liked was how focused Aiste was on helping us find our own 'voice' in this modality. That all knowledge comes from inside so what we really need to do is just trust our own instincts when we play or work with people. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' - there is 'Your way'. This approach can definitely kickstart a completely other kind of an inner-journey for many but what a wonderful one it can be!” – K.K.

“I really enjoyed the course, it helped awake some parts of me and connect deeper with my and others’ souls. Also it allowed a nice inner journey of learning how to listen to the body and its needs. Aiste is a brilliant teacher, she makes everybody feel welcome, comfortable and teaches with patience and energy. I loved also sharing the discovery with the rest of the group in a very unique and connecting experience. The instruments are fun, powerful and somehow magical.” – S.G.
