Please click here for the most current dates and add them to your calendar. 

Although it is always preferred for you to attend LIVE, if you are unable to join us, you can still watch the replay.

***Regardless of whether you attend the Sound Temple Ceremonies LIVE or via replay, you are required to email 4 sentences analyzing your experience and what you learned from participating in the ceremony within 5 days of the replay being added to the Sound Temple Membership Area.  

Q:  When does the course start?

A:  The first module will be available on Tuesday, 9/7.

Q:  When does enrollment close?

A:  Enrollment closes on Thursday, 9/9, at 9pm PDT (please confirm your corresponding time zone here).

Q:  What is the price of Shamanic Star Sound Certification?

A:  9 monthly payments of $345, or 1 payment of $2,997.

Q: I signed up for Shamanic Star Sound from a previous season, do I have access to the new certification course?
A:  It would be my greatest honor to walk with you as you deepen on the path of Sound Medicine. All previous SSS alumni are invited to join us for this LIVE certification course. In honor of your previous investment, I’ve put together a special offer for you! Please check your email for more information or email us at info@rakaiel.com

Q:  Is this an online course or in-person?

A:  This course is held entirely online!  You can join from anywhere in the world.

Q:  Do you offer payment plans?

A:  Yes!  See above for details & choose the plan that works best for you.

Q:  How does the monthly payment plan work?  Will the charge show on my statement each month, one month exactly from when I first paid?

A:  Yes, that is correct.  If you choose the 9-month payment plan, you will see the charge once per month, for nine months, on the date you first paid.  For example, if you sign up and pay for your first payment on the 20th, the remaining two installments will pull on the 20th of the following eight months.

Q:  Do you offer scholarships?

A: In full acknowledgment of the economic differences that systemic racism, white supremacy, and colonialism have created across generations, we have a few scholarships available for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color for 33% off the course. Please send us an email here if you are interested.

Q:  What if I decide I don’t want to take this course after I sign up?  What is your refund policy?

A:  Remember there are no “bad or wrong” decisions.  You can’t mess it up!  Sometimes when we choose to make an investment in ourselves – especially if it might bring more awareness into our lives, illuminating ways in which we’ve been holding ourselves back under the guise of playing safe – we can start to doubt our decisions and want to run away.  I totally know, I’ve been there so many times.  This is why I wrote the refund policy directly on the sales page under the sign-up button.  Empowerment can be extremely threatening to the parts of ourselves that want to stay small.   The vision I hold for you is one where you trust yourself completely, knowing that whatever comes up, you are strong enough, compassionate enough, and smart enough to handle it – especially the more you begin to work with Sound as a loving guide and ally.  Place your hand upon your heart and feel how safe and held you are by your higher self.  You’ve got this!!  And here is the official Refund Policy from above:  I want you to be intentional in everything you do.  Place your hand on your heart and take a deep breath before you complete your payment.  Read the affirmation on the payment page out loud.  Really feel all of the people in your life who will benefit (most of all YOU) from this decision to invest in yourself.  I always say, the money I spend on me comes back times 3!  That said, if after 1 week from the exact date and time when the first module’s content has been released on 9/7/2021, you don’t feel like this is for you, you have until 8am Pacific time on 9/14/2021 to request a refund by sending us an email.  After 8am Pacific time on 9/14/2021, no refunds will be offered.  I honor this commitment you are making to yourself, and take your intention to participate very seriously.  If you are not certain if this course is for you, please email us HERE with any questions you may have.  

Q:  I can’t make the live classes and/or sound labs, will they be recorded?

A:  All LIVE classes & labs will be recorded – however – your presence and participation is required. If you are unable to attend any of our LIVE classes or labs, you must email us no later than 24 hours in advance to let us know you will be absent. Once the replay becomes available you will have 5 days to watch it and send us an email with 5 bullet points outlining what you learned.  For labs you will be required to send in video/audio examples of your practice.

Q:  What is the time commitment for the certification?

A:  At the very least you will need to plan for:

• 6 hours per month to attend our LIVE classes & labs
• If you are unable to attend the classes & labs on the scheduled day, you will also need to plan to write out your reflections & send them in within 5 days of receiving the replay
• 4 hours per month to attend the Sound Temple Ceremonies
• Time to record & send in your reflections from each ceremony
• 15 minutes per week to record your 10 minute Sound practice and share it with your Small Group companions via Voxer
• Time to participate in our Private Online Group space + share feedback and reflections with your Small Group companions.
• Homework assignments will vary – probably best to plan for 2-5 hours per month.  Some months will be more, others less.

Q:  I don’t have any sound healing experience yet, can I still take the course?

A:  100% YES! This course will be the best thing that ever happened to you as you begin your journey with Sound Medicine!  I am so excited for you!!

Q:  I don’t have any sound healing instruments yet, can I still take the course?

A:  You are required to have at least 3-5 different types of sound healing instruments prior to our first lab together on 9/30.  You should have at least 1 instrument in the following categories:

1) Dispersive: Percussive instruments that disperse or “chop” the energy (rattle, drum, rainstick, ocean drum, etc)
2) Smoothing/Hypnotic: Instruments that create continuous, hypnotic soundscape (crystal bowls, gong, didgeridoo, handpan, Tibetan bowls, classical harp, etc)
3) Neutral:  Instruments that do a bit of both (koshi chimes, bells, xylophone, crystal harp, tuning forks, etc)

You will need to have a variety of different instruments so that you have a good amount of sonic “material” to work with. The goal is to have you feeling comfortable and confident to facilitate Ceremonies that are 90 min-2 hours, so you need to have enough Sound to be able to work with for that amount of time.  As soon as you sign up you will receive a video to support you in building your family of instruments.  This is an advanced Sound Healing course, with practical sound labs and homework that you will be required to complete in order to receive your certification by the end of our journey.  If you have any doubts at all that you will be able to obtain the necessary instruments please wait until another time to join us for the certification.  If you have any questions about this please send us an email here. 

Q:  I’m already a professional Sound Healer, will I benefit from doing this course?  

A:  I love working with people who already have a good amount of experience, because then we get to experiment more.  As a professional Sound Healer myself, I’m always on the lookout for opportunities to deepen my Sound practice and enhance my abilities as a Ceremonial Facilitator.  I trust your inner guidance.  You know if you are called.

Q:  What kind of instruments do you teach about?

A:  I only teach about those instruments I’ve played and can demonstrate for you (crystal singing bowls, crystal lyre/harp, crystal pyramid, tuning forks, koshi chimes, bells, drums, flute, rattles, rainsticks, ocean drum, practitioner crystal singing bowls).  I will NOT be teaching about didgeridoo, gongs, Tibetan bowls, handpans – but you are absolutely welcome to participate in the class if you have these instruments! 🙂

Q:  OMG I’m soooo excited to get some Sound Healing instruments!!  Which ones do you recommend???

A:  Yay!!  I love your excitement!!  As soon as you sign up, you’ll get access to a video where I describe everything about which instruments I recommend, where to get them, etc.  I also went over the basics here.

Q:  Do you offer a Sound Healing Certification with this course?

A:  Yes. I am so happy to finally offer a certification!

Q: Does your course have voice activation as part of the program? 

A: I am so excited to finally be able to say YES to this question! Our guest teacher ONYI is offering a beautiful and empowering bonus section on using your voice as a sound healing instrument. I will also be sharing some vocal exercises and techniques in our LIVE labs.

Q: Can I do the Sound Healing and the Astro Empowerment and/or Remembering Lemuria courses at the same time? I’m sitting with this question. I have a few bowls, I use them regularly. I want to expand but I also don’t want to crowd my learning plate completely.

A: I don’t know what all of your time commitments are, so I feel like I can’t answer this question adequately.  I do know that we make time for what is important to us – so this might be a beautiful invitation to tune into your priorities & goals + considering other things that may come up along the way.  SSSC is a pretty intensive experience, so it’s best to review the Course Requirements and take an honest look at your schedule to make sure you can show up fully.  For those who want to weave Astrology into their Sound Medicine practice, we are excited to offer $447 off of the Astro Empowerment experience as a self-study addendum.

Q: Are your bowls 432 or 440hz frequency? Are any of them ‘pitch perfect’? Have you found it difficult to play with other people whose bowls are not pitch perfect or not the same frequency as yours? Where did you source yours?

A: I have two sets of frosted crystal singing bowls. Both are 432 Hz, and both are from a brand called Top Fund that you can find on Amazon. One set is perfect pitch (this is my main set. They also nest inside each other, condensing down into two carrying cases). It is definitely difficult to play with other instruments that are not 432hz, especially other crystal singing bowls. I’ve been able to get away with playing with 440 handpans/pantams, gongs, and metal singing bowls, but I have found it nearly impossible to play with 440 crystal bowls.

Q: Is your Sound Healing certification only for women?

A: Not at all! The Shamanic Star Sound is open to anyone and everyone who resonates with the sacred medicine of Sound! We need as many Keepers of Frequency and Carriers of Sound Medicine as possible on this planet at this time!! If you are feeling called to this collective mission, trust that!

Q: For our alumni: What is the difference between the Shamanic Star Sound Course and the Certification?

A: The original course was 8 weeks, and the Shamanic Star Sound Certification is 8 months. In this space we have the opportunity to go way deeper than we did before.

I’m teaching all of the classes live, and updating all of the subjects with everything that I’ve learned over the past 3 years since I first recorded the videos for the class that you took.

There will also be homework assignments at the end of every class, required reading, small groups for accountability, teachings on Astrology and how to weave the Astrological energies into your Ceremonies with proficiency. Students are also required to send in a 10 minute guided meditation, and a 45 minute video Sound ceremony, complete with lights & altar spaces.

Basically, by the end of the certification I want everyone to be able to offer ceremonies and hold space with the same level of confidence and proficiency that I do, but in their own unique Frequency expression.

Have a question that I didn’t answer here?  Send us an email and we’ll answer your questions asap!

I am in deepest gratitude to all of my teachers for supporting me and guiding me on this path. I am especially grateful to Erica Sandstedt for everything she taught me about how to hold a safe and sacred space for deep transformation and healing using Sound Medicine, and how to navigate the multidimensional realms. I’d also like to thank Rich Raffals and Rene Jenkins for their Sound guidance and support.
