A Journey into Sound, Stillness, and Sovereignty

In the quiet embrace of winter, we gather at The Thyme — a sanctuary nestled in the Berkshire mountains — for a three-day immersion into the ancient art and practice of Himalayan singing bowls.

Guided by the teachers of The Sound School: David Shemesh and Nada Das, this program invites both new and seasoned practitioners to explore the fundamentals of sound as a path of awareness, healing, and creative expression.

Through hands-on learning, participants will engage deeply with these multidimensional instruments — listening, feeling, and attuning to the subtleties of vibration and resonance. The weekend will include both theory and embodied practice:

  • The physical and acoustical properties of Himalayan singing bowls

  • Techniques of striking and singing, with various mallets and tonal intentions

  • Listening and identifying overtones, harmonics, and beats

  • Understanding the body as an instrument of resonance and awareness

  • Foundations for flow-state improvisation and spontaneous expression

  • Structure and flow for personal and group sound meditations

This immersion is open to all who feel called to the study of sound — from musicians and wellness practitioners to those simply curious about the language of vibration. Together, we’ll explore how sound can soften the mind, steady the heart, and reawaken our natural harmony with life.

Space is limited to ensure personalized guidance and hands-on exploration.

Lead Facilitators

  • David Shemesh

    David Shemesh began his pursuit of understanding the nature of reality at a young age, a journey that deepened after completing his service in one of the Israeli army’s top elite units. He has extensively studied Kabbalah, yogic and Buddhist traditions, Eastern and Western philosophy, as well as the use of medicine and sound as tools for altering consciousness across different traditions.Rather than just accumulating knowledge, David is committed to embodying his studies in his daily life, allowing them to be alchemized into wisdom that he can authentically share with others. His soul’s purpose is to help remove suffering from the world and inject happiness while guiding others on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.David offers different modalities, often integrating them together, some of the main ones including:

    • Sound practitioner & breathwork facilitator

    • Guided pranayama and meditation

    • Psychedelic integration coaching

    He is one of the founders of WOOM Center, New York’s first multi-sensory yoga and meditation studio, which is primarily based on the therapeutic and psychedelic properties of sound vibration.Today, David guides people through life-transformative experiences around the world, helping them expand their awareness, heal, and connect with their deeper selves.

  • Nada Das

    Nada Das is a sound meditation facilitator, using instruments such as antique Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, bells, and other overtone-rich instruments in service of our highest potential. The artist name comes from the Sanskrit terms for Sound/ Vibration ("Nada") and Servant ("Das"). In addition to the practices of sound, Nada Das draws from his training and experience as an international concert musician.

    Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound) is an ancient practice deeply rooted in Indian spiritual traditions that goes back thousands of years. Its core principles include using sound and deep listening for spiritual growth and self-discovery. Nada Brahma translates to "Sound is God" or "The Universe is Sound." It is a core concept in Hindu philosophy and spirituality, holding that sound and vibration are fundamental to creation and that all beings are connected to the divine and the cosmos through sound.

    In support and in service, Nada Das and other leading sound meditation facilitators have recently begun sharing recorded sound meditations freely on YouTube at youtube.com/@yogaofsoundofficial. You can also contact Nada Das directly at nadadasofficial@gmail.com
