Vocal Sound Healing
Level 3 Retreat
Dear Friends,
After an absolutely amazing first edition of the Level 3 retreat in the Netherlands, we're excited to embark on a new journey in beautiful Portugal this coming February 2025.
The retreat showed us just how powerful it is to gather in person with diverse, yet like-minded individuals who share a similar background knowledge and a common intention to learn.
We realized that the time flew by too quickly and that there's so much more to teach and explore. That's why the second edition will be twice as long—6 days instead of 3. Still exclusively for Vocal Sound Healing students and limited to 24 participants from around the world, we know this new retreat will be very special once again.
This retreat will have a special focus on Sound Constellation work, along with exploring the Feminine and Masculine principles in human beings and how to incorporate these as facilitators. Finally, you’ll also be introduced to the practice of combining gentle touch with Vocal Sound Healing.
I can't wait to meet you there!
With love,
Jacob

What to expect…
✔ 6 days of bathing in a field of love in a stunningly beautiful natural setting, with the power of Vocal Sound Healing under the guidance of Jacob.
✔ Discover and engage with the power of Sound Constellation Work using Jacob’s method. You'll learn how to apply this work in both 1:1 and group settings by mastering the fundamentals and going through the process yourself.
✔ Understand how and when to apply the principles of feminine and masculine facilitation through concrete exercises designed to enhance your space-holding skills as a Vocal Sound Healing facilitator and in daily life.
✔ Explore the transformative practice of hands-on Vocal Sound Healing. In this modality, you combine gentle, energetic touch with vocalization. Both you and your client engage in sound, and your touch further facilitates the movement of energy within your client.
✔ Participate in Sound Bathing, exploring the power, magic, and beauty of making sound for someone, particularly in a group setting.
✔ Gain life-changing insights, transformations, and experiences that will stay with you for years to come.
Embarking on a Songdance retreat offers a unique path to empowerment through creative expression. By weaving together healing rituals with music, sound, movement, visualizations, and constellation work, we facilitate transformative experiences.
Treating yourself to a retreat means much more than simply taking a break. It's not just about enjoying lovely organic food or walking through beautiful gardens. It's an opportunity to dive deeper into yourself.
At its heart, a retreat allows you to experience the power of Vocal Sound Healing. This experience helps clarify your true qualities and the beauty of your heart, fostering inspiration, clarity, and peace. You'll step away from everyday stressors and the fight or flight response, welcoming an opportunity to discover and embrace your deepest self.

The venue
Monte Velho
Monte Velho is a sharing space and holistic learning center. From its hilltop location, the center offers a profound connection to the vast natural beauty that surrounds it—the strength of the elements in the region, and the breathtaking coastlines and forests that make this place so special.
Monte Velho is located in the middle of nowhere, where south-Western Europe sinks into the Atlantic. It is a region enriched by the strength of its nature, where the high cliffs overlook the ocean, filling the air with a fresh breeze, spreading myths and tales of fishermen, sailors and pirates, sunken ships and great fisheries.
For nearly twenty years, Monte Velho has hosted a wide variety of retreats, teacher trainings, and festivals, as well as unique, holistic summer holidays that allow everyone to connect with the sacredness of this land and its powerful natural beauty.
