Become a Certified Tone Circle™ Facilitator
Awaken the healing power of your voice—and help others do the same.
The Program
The Tone Circle Facilitator training program is an immersive journey for teachers, healers, and community builders who feel called to lead sound-based spaces of personal restoration and community connection. Through this 5-module program, you’ll learn how to guide simple, powerful vocal toning circles that soothe the nervous system, invite authentic expression, and rekindle a sense of shared harmony.
You don’t have to be a singer—just someone who believes in the transformational power of the human voice. With a grounded framework, mentor support, and flexible scheduling, you’ll gain the confidence and clarity to bring this work into your community in a way that feels natural, sustainable, and deeply aligned.
Module 1: Common Grounding
Explore the origins, foundations, purpose, and guiding principles of Tone Circle™ and how they sync with and differ from more traditional vocal meditation practices. Together, we’ll examine the multi-dimensional importance of the empowered human voice—regardless of skill, training, or perceived beauty—and how it serves as an instrument for transformation. You’ll learn how vocal toning can be applied for holistic rest and release, repair and rejuvenation, empowerment, intention-setting, and more, and discover how Tone Circle is working to share and normalize simple, practical tools for transformation through vocal empowerment.
Module 2: Your Embodied Voice
Every voice is unique, and every sound has a place. Throughout history, frequency, pitch, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics have all been used—for better or worse—to influence the mind, body, and subtle energy field. In this module, you’ll learn to harness the power of the human voice to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive container that nurtures the whole person. Together, we’ll explore a range of expressive vocal techniques, both direct and subtle, and how to apply them when leading groups of singing humans.
Module 3: Empowering Others’ Vocal Journeys
Where your voice leads, others will follow. Your voice-heart coherence sets the tone (pun intended!) for your whole event. Learn when and how to encourage ease, comfort, and invite vocal safety and longevity for others' vocal toning practice. We’ll also touch on techniques for holding space for emotional release, helping others feel seen, heard, understood, and cared for. You’ll practice validating and witnessing with compassion and empathy for individuals in every stage of vocal awakening, learning to navigate moments when things don’t go as planned, while also empowering those who discover, often to their own surprise, “Whoa—I actually can and love to sing!”
Module 4: Bringing It All Together
In this practicum module, you’ll facilitate your own mini Tone Circle event in a supportive, low-stakes environment and receive constructive feedback from your peers. Develop confidence in guiding participants from arrival through closing—welcoming attendees, how to speak clearly about the practice, answer questions, lead grounding vocal warm-ups, invite individual and group intentions, and more—all while creating a flow that helps every participant feel included and at ease. You’ll also gain hands-on experience and recommendations for practical setup, lighting, and implementing the energetic container for an atmosphere of calm and cohesion from start to finish.
Module 5: The Operations of Crafting Your Event
Work with a mentor to prepare for independent facilitation with practical training in event management and ongoing growth. Learn how facilitators and administration partner to find venues, setup and produce events, and use the simple ticketing app for participant check-in and on-site ticket sales. We'll also cover how to coordinate with substitute facilitator network to get help when you need it. This final module supports your transition from trainee to confident event leader, ready to bring a Tone Circle™ meditation event to your community.
Support that carries you forward
Some trainings leave you hanging.
That's not how we do it at Tone Circle.
Your goals for growth and success are our goals, too. As you step out into facilitation, we reduce the administrative burden through ongoing partnership so you can focus less on the logistical noise, and more on enjoying leading your Tone Circle events.
As a certified active facilitator, you'll receive:
An official Tone Circle™ Facilitator Certificate
Upon receiving your certification, you’ll be recognized as a certified Tone Circle Facilitator and join a trusted network of dedicated practitioners sharing this work with their communities.
Priority event referrals
Tone Circle regularly receives requests from venues, organizations, and communities wanting to host vocal toning events and workshops. As a certified facilitator, you’ll be our first stop for these opportunities—expanding your reach and visibility as a trusted event leader in the Tone Circle network.
Monthly payouts
Yes—Tone Circle facilitators are community leaders who are compensated for their time with equitable energy exchange. You’ll receive monthly payouts based on your Tone Circle event ticket sales, always handled with transparency and care.
Lifetime access to all Tone Circle events
Be held when you hold space. Active facilitators are always welcome at public Tone Circle events—free to attend for ongoing inspiration, learning, and community connection.

1:1 vocal coaching with a former opera singer
Receive individualized guidance to strengthen your confidence, embodiment, and authentic resonance as a facilitator. Learn to use your voice as a tool for healing, connection, and clear communication.
Access to the substitute facilitator network
Life happens. Our substitute network ensures your circles can continue with care and integrity in the event of illness or emergency, while also giving you the chance to support fellow facilitators in return.
Supplies guidance
Know exactly what you need. You’ll get a complete list of instruments, materials, and setup items—plus purchasing recommendations for every budget and space. (In case you're wondering, you don't need to have crystal singing bowls to be a highly effective Tone Circle facilitator.)
Grow through continuing education
Stay supported through group practice sessions and facilitator gatherings that nurture your development and expand your skill set. Progress naturally through three facilitator levels (Certified Facilitator, Lead Facilitator, and Senior Facilitator & Mentor) as your experience deepens.

Questions?
We got you.
Do I need to have singing experience? No musical experience is necessary to lead a tone circle. Though backgrounds in singing or energetic and sound healing practices certainly support and enhance facilitation.
Do I need to have crystal singing bowls? No, you can facilitate vocal toning meditations in a few different ways! Whether they're too heavy or too expensive or both, we'll walk you through effective alternatives to a set of crystal singing bowls. If you'd like to purchase one (or a set), we'll share resources for that, too.
How long is the training? Currently, we estimate 8 hours of hours of foundational training, plus a single practicum day, with scheduling for all coordinated based on the unique needs of your cohort. Training can move as fast as a weekend, or be spread out on multiple days, as your cohort's scheduling allows, but all certification requirements must be completed within a maximum of 6 months.
A Path of Personal Growth
Tone Circle Facilitation Levels
Every facilitator grows in their own way—and we honor that! As you deepen your connection to this work, you’ll naturally progress through levels that reflect your experience, consistency, and contribution to the community.
Level 1: Certified Tone Circle Facilitator
Certified facilitators are trained to lead Tone Circle events in the core tried-and-true formats. Leading at least one Tone Circle per month keeps you active (as opposed to alternate, or substitute facilitator) and ensures you continue receiving the full range of facilitator benefits.
Level 2: Lead Tone Circle Facilitator
Lead facilitators are experienced event leaders who have completed Level 2 Vocal Alchemy training. At this stage, you may collaborate with senior facilitators to propose, develop, and lead new themed toning meditation formats.
Level 3: Senior Tone Circle Facilitator & Mentor
Senior facilitators are seasoned leaders and visionaries who help train and guide new facilitators. They carry the Tone Circle lineage forward, nurturing both the quality of facilitation and the growth of our shared community.
