The Emily Hess® Basic Trust Intensive Retreat includes three course modules.

During these in-person courses, you will be introduced to the Basic Trust Sound Settings and Sound Meditations. Upon completion of the courses, you may choose to take the online Master Class, which focuses on safely applying the settings you have learned. To become a certified Emily Hess® Basic Trust Coach, you must complete both the Masterclass and the Peter Hess® Sound Massage Level I course.

​

For each seminar you will receive a certificate of attendance. After the completion of all three experience courses you will receive another certificate that entitles you to use the learned content in coaching or mentoring settings with your clients.

Basic Trust - Sound of Life

This course is an invitation to enrich your life story and shift your perspective toward growth and possibility.
Life’s tensions can often disconnect us from our bodies, clouding our sense of well-being. Through deep relaxation practices—such as extended Sound Massages—you’ll be guided into a renewed sense of vitality, awakening what we call the “Dance of Life.”

In creative and experimental sound spaces, you are encouraged to reclaim your inner power, gently shaping your life with greater freedom, responsibility, and joy. These transformative experiences help you reconnect with your innate resources, offering new ways to approach and even reframe your personal biography.

You’ll also learn how to bring these powerful sound spaces into your own professional or therapeutic practice.

Course content includes:

​

• Drawing strength through a resource-oriented connection with your ancestors

• Exploring your life journey through sound

• “Dance of Life” – an embodied sound experience
