Workshop Description
Step into the warm, resonant world of the Handpan in this relaxed and inspiring afternoon workshop held within a lush, tranquil rainforest retreat in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
Whether you've never touched a Handpan before or you've had a little experience, this session is designed to help you feel comfortable, musical and connected with the instrument from the very beginning.
Each participant will have their own Handpan for the entire workshop as we explore tone, rhythm, flow and intuitive playing in a supportive group environment.
We'll move gently from simple techniques into real music-making, group grooves and creative exploration throughout this 4-hour workhsop. You will leave not just knowing how to play, but actually playing.
What's Included
Before the evening begins, a light, nourishing meal will be shared from 5:00pm to 6:00pm, creating time to relax, connect, and enjoy food together after the workshop before easing into the sound immersion.
Sound Healing
As the day gently unfolds into evening, a deeply immersive Sacred Sound Journey from 6:00pm to 7:30pm offers space to unwind, integrate, and fully breathe into the moment.
Using a blend of flutes, yidaki, handpan, and other world instruments, Luke Julian and his partner, Cornelia Truemper, weave a gentle yet powerful sonic landscape. Guided by Cornelia’s angelic voice and sacred collection of sonic tools, the journey supports deep relaxation, emotional release, and energetic alignment.
This sacred closing invites you to rest, receive, and realign in a nurturing space of resonance, presence, and connection.
Give yourself an afternoon to slow down, reconnect, and experience the magic of music in nature.
Spaces are limited to keep the experience personal, so reserve your space early.
