THE HEART OF THE SOUNDFLOWER TOUR is designed to help seekers fall in love with the multiple aspects of India—the culture, the architecture, the arts, spiritual and communal practices—and much more. The tour has its roots in sacred sound, both the auditory and visual aspects, which can inspire us, heal us and create a renewal of purpose in life.

Traveling to India as a seeker will allow you the joy of awakening to new aspects of your own journey and path forward. THE HEART OF THE SOUNDFLOWER TOUR embraces the culture and rhythm of life, lived in a place where civilization as we know it began. The trip offers a multi-faceted experience which you can enjoy from your own perspective.

As part of Cyma Technologies endeavors to cultivate extraordinary sound therapists, we are opening this door to share invaluable knowledge.  There will be countless opportunities to deepen your personal experiences, and to discover the heart and soul of India, where  sound healing first began.

Experiences will be provided for a fantastic journey into the culture, cosmology and roots of yoga—to include the ancient teachings on sound. Feel free to invite other adult spiritual seekers to join us.

We anticipate this carefully crafted journey, (which is limited to 20 participants), will sell out quickly. Please review the details below, as well as the instructions for how to insure your place on the trip.
