How to Choose & Play Your Singing Bowl
An interactive workshop with sound bath, teaching, and hands-on practice
Join us for an immersive workshop designed to help you connect with the healing power of sound and find the singing bowl that’s right for you.
Julie Kalua has served as the singing bowl buyer at East West Bookshop for over three years. With professional training in sound healing and a finely attuned ear for subtle tones, she is dedicated to helping others discover the healing power of sound. Julie guides participants in listening, feeling, and choosing bowls that resonate with their unique energy and practice.
This workshop includes:
🌬️ Arrival & Grounding — short breathing practice and mini sound bath to begin
🎶 Learning — explore the differences between crystal and Tibetan (metal) bowls, with live demonstrations
👐 Hands-On Practice — hold and play a variety of metal bowls, trading with neighbors to experience their tones; optional guided play on crystal bowls
✨ Integration & Gift — Receive a follow-up email with deeper bowl wisdom, a free eBook to support your journey, and a special 10% discount on singing bowls and accessories (valid workshop night only, with purchases of $50 or more).
You’ll leave with greater clarity about both crystal and metal bowls, and the confidence to choose the bowl that resonates with your own energy and practice.
“Authenticity is my main experience with Julie. With that quality, she invites the raw you out and makes you free completely being yourself, then making choices from there. I am new to sound healing and singing. I had been thinking about taking singing classes. Julie’s vulnerable share affirmed my confidence in honoring my authentic voice, after hearing her journey as a professional musician and now discovering her own voice. She was so patiently and generously guiding me discovering the resonance between the Tibetan bowl with my own rhythm and voice, which was such a soul touching unforgettable experience that is so precious in this world.”

Your class was one of the best workshops that I’ve attended at the store, and I’ve attended many over the past 30 years. Thank you!”
