TranceSonics Training / Workshop
TranceSonics at the N.E.S.T. with Peter Blum and Special Guest Instructors.
Students will learn how to work with themselves and others in a highly interactive environment with supervision and feedback. In this intensive overview, students will learn about theories, and be introduced to practices for personal and professional use.
