What students say

It was so much more than a training!
20/11/25The sound healing seminar with Manolis was so much more than a training, it was a journey into the world of sound and inner silence. His energy, love, and grounded presence created a safe and inspiring space for learning, where every sound became an experience of connection and awareness. Through his clarity and heartfelt guidance, Manolis shared not only techniques but also the essence, the respect, intention, and presence that true sound healing requires.
It opened new perspectives on working with singing bowls and left me with a deep sense of gratitude. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who feels the call of sound!

One of the best training workshops I have attended
12/11/25One of my best seminars! Thanks to Manolis who in his teachings is detail-oriented, very disciplined yet so warm and generous! You leave this life changing seminar full of knowledge and practice.

One of the best training workshops I have attended
2/2/23I had the privilege of attending a two-day sound therapy seminar in Chania with Manolis Zografakis, and it was an incredible experience. As a massage therapist, I wanted to complement my therapies with Tibetan Singing bowls. Manolis’ deep knowledge and expertise in the field of Tibetan singing bowls and sound healing provided a comprehensive understanding of the practice. The seminar was suitable for all levels, and I left feeling equipped with practical techniques and protocols for using singing bowls in my own meditation and healing practices. Although I don’t play any musical instruments and have no knowledge of music theory, I felt comfortable during the seminar. Manolis’ guidance and explanations helped me understand the idea behind sound healing and how to use the singing bowls as a healing modality for my practice. I highly recommend this training seminar to any professional interested in using Tibetan singing bowls for healing.

I had a fantastic experience during the two-day sound healing seminar
