Music & Sound Therapy

Sound has been used for healing across cultures for thousands of years—from Tibetan singing bowls to Aboriginal didgeridoos, from Gregorian chants to Native American drums. Modern science is now validating what ancient traditions knew: sound profoundly affects our physiology and mental state.

Music and sound work on multiple levels. They can entrain brainwaves, shifting us from anxious beta states to relaxed alpha and theta states. They can synchronize heart rhythms and breathing. They can stimulate the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin. And they can access emotions in ways that bypass cognitive defenses.

At Algarve Wellness Retreats, we integrate various sound healing modalities into our treatment programs. From individual music therapy sessions to group sound baths, from active drumming circles to receptive listening experiences, we offer diverse opportunities to harness sound's healing potential.

Our sound healing space is designed for optimal acoustics and comfort. You'll experience high-quality instruments including crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and more—all played by experienced facilitators who understand the therapeutic application of sound.
