Three Days to Forge a Singing Bowl – East Sussex

Meet the Alchemy of Forging Sound.

August 1, 2025

to August 3, 2025

Friday 10:00 to 18:00, Saturday and Sunday from 09:30 to 17:30

A three day non-residential workshop to experience the alchemical process of transformation through forging a singing bowl .

You will be fully assisted and supported in working in a co-creative process of crafting with metal to bring a unique fine frequency sounding instrument into form.

To birth your own singing bowl is a rich and expansive experience of immersion into an ancient process of forging, working closely with the elements and the tools whilst bringing a new consciousness to every moment. You will scribe, cut, shape, fire and sink your own small singing bowl, made of copper, brass or bronze.

At the end of the workshop you will not only have a beautiful, fine frequency sound companion and ally, you will have gone through an embodied experience of personal and alchemical change yourself.

These days will offer you an immersion into the world of sound from the beautiful perspective of living co-creation. Through sound sessions and stories, skilled and sensitive guidance we will take you into a making process that comes to us through a lineage of sound forging as a sacred art – an act that can support life in every way.

. . . an invitation to meet the wonder of alchemy as you engage in a truly co-creative process.

Full details given for participants following registration.

To forge a singing bowl with us invites you to a ‘softer’ engagement with metal and fire than through blacksmithing. You will be guided in your work through coppersmithing techniques developed over many years and honed to a fine level of expertise to allow your instrument of copper, brass or bronze material that you will come to know in what may be surprising ways.

The instruments – singing bowls or bells – are finely tuned through the process itself – one that invites both you, the maker, and the metal instrument to become a harmonic and coherent being. Working together with the fire, the tools and the metal, together you forge a relationship as you bring forward your own beautiful sound frequencies . . . an instrument and healing companion that may not only support and assist your own life but that of others, from now and for our collective ongoing futures.

The workshop is suitable for people of all ages from as young as 12 and the older ageless. A level of fitness that allows you to use your hands with some dexterity and strength is helpful.

Please get in touch with us if you have questions or concerns about the suitability of the work for yourself.

What metals will be on offer?

We will be offering copper and its alloys, bronze and brass for you to choose to forge with through this three day workshop. Each metal allows a different range of sounds and qualities to work with and we will introduce you to them as sound beings from meeting our own hand forged instruments as we introduce you to the nature of each one.

Can I make a gong?

We are not able to offer gong forging during this workshop. It is a very different process to bowl forging. Please get in touch with us directly if you would like to know when we offer our infrequent gong forging workshops.

Our Hosts and the Venue

Maya and John Morgan set up their own forge at their home after finding a sense of deep appreciation for working with the metal sounding instruments over the past twelve years. It’s because of their dedication to peace and healing and also their generosity and hospitality that we are able to once again be hosted and assisted to bring our work to the UK from where we currently live in Portugal.

Not only are they our hosts but also our UK team, bringing their own finely tuned skills and knowledge to the work we are all committed to. Together we will co-create a couple of special forging days to Resound our Earth with ever more fine frequencies of both sound and community, looking out over the beautiful Sussex Weald.

Over many years they have dedicated their lives and home to building a field of health and wellness that is grounded and solid, forging has become an integral part of their world and they generously share their devotion to peace through sound, music and their company, Helios Homeopathics.

These days will be immersive and dedicated to growing the world community of sound beings that are contributing to the Earth frequencies of Love, Peace and greater Wellbeing for All of Life.

appreciation for a bowl crafted in a three day workshop in Wales

Erna -Wales, 2022

I absolutely love my singing bowl and use it every day before sleep on my body. It gives me a feeling of calm, especially recently as life seems to get more taxing in all sorts of ways. It even travels with me! I also believe that frequency healing is the healing of the future, however it is applied.

Peace and Unity through forging sound instruments

K. G.

Every step of the process was meticulously crafted to allow us all to experience a fullness of consciousness in our co-creation and really live in the moment. This is an astounding feat in the noisy world we all inhabit and I have rarely felt such peace and unity in the world, given in the spirit of love and joy. The instruments I created were beyond anything I could have imagined and this would not have been remotely possible without the gentle guidance of Gabriella and Heather I have played my bowl and tubular bell for many friends and family members who are dazzled by their clarity and pure sounds. They will travel with me to all my favourite landscapes to spread our connection…

Bowl Workshop

Louise Carpenter

These workshops are about so much more than making a singing bowl. The bowl making process is held in a vibrational field which encourages self-reflection leading to self-knowledge and insight, recognition and potential release of blockages to the free flow of energy whether mental, emotional, physical or spiritual: Gabriella and Heather are always there to facilitate these healing and clearing times.

recommendation from another maker/soundsmith

Jesse Blauwhof, Andromeda Gongs, The Netherlands

I highly recommend doing a workshop with these two, it’s a beautiful, magical journey!
