A week-long program lets people experience the air of the Himalayas in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul. Inside Raum Art Center, the Todak Todak Healing Art Center opens its doors anew, and to mark the opening, a Himalaya singing bowl exhibition and a Nepal healing program led directly by master instructors from Nepal are being arranged. Running from June 1 through June 8, the schedule is designed for those who want to step back from the pace of the city and realign the rhythms of body and mind.
Todak Todak Healing Art Center opens at Raum Art Center
Todak Todak Healing Art Center is introduced as a premium healing center that combines art and meditation, sound therapy, and a neuroscientific understanding—built on the dignified setting of Raum Art Center. It offers more than a place to pause and rest. It is a space that lets visitors look closely at how stress, sleep, emotions, and habits act on the body and mind, and then find balance again.
The center is led by Kim Ja-hye, the CEO, and Cho Yong-sang, the director. CEO Kim Ja-hye is the curator of Raum Art Center and an Art Medi-Therapist, and she handles singing bowl curation based on her musical background as someone who studied piano in New York and has absolute pitch. Director Cho Yong-sang is a neuroscientist and a professor at Gachon University, as well as an adjunct professor at the College of Medicine, Korea University. It is a configuration where artistic sensitivity and scientific understanding meet in one place. The Todak Todak Healing Art Center Raum opening ceremony runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on June 2.
Nepal Yoga Home, a tradition of practice carried on from the Himalayas
The program is arranged at the official invitation of Nepal Yoga Home, a yoga, meditation, and healing education institution in Nepal. Nepal Yoga Home is an organization that has operated since 2008 near Nagarjun National Park on the outskirts of Kathmandu. It has offered healing programs such as yoga and meditation, Ayurveda, singing bowls, and Reiki to students who have come from more than 100 countries around the world.
Two Nepalese local master instructors join as master teachers. Dr. Acharya Prakash is the founder of Nepal Yoga Home. He holds a master’s degree in the fields of yoga science and human consciousness, and a doctorate in the study of meditation. He is introduced as someone who was born with a frail constitution and entered the path of meditation to heal himself, and who has continued deep practice through Himalayan monasteries, caves, and forests. Er. Tirtha Acharya is the founder of The Trek Nepal and a privately certified 200-hour and 500-hour yoga teacher, and he serves as a sound healing facilitator based on the tradition of Himalaya singing bowls.
From June 1 to 8, a chance to experience authentic Himalaya singing bowls from Nepal
The program consists of three main tracks.
Singing bowl exhibition and a free sound bath experience
A singing bowl opening exhibition will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on June 1. Visitors can directly see, listen to, and compare authentic Himalaya singing bowls brought in from Nepal. On that day only, a free mini sound bath experience will also be offered. For those who want to purchase singing bowls, separate curation is available through phone reservations.
A 6-hour professional certification course
A 6-hour certification course integrating breathing, meditation, and singing bowl healing runs on June 2 and 3. It is an intensive course that teaches breathwork, meditation, and singing bowl healing based on Kundalini through both theory and practice together. On June 8, a separate certification course focused on breathing, meditation, and stress management will be offered. All courses run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with lunch time from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Sound therapy one-day class
Held in the evening from June 3 to 5 and on June 8, the sound therapy one-day class lets participants surrender their bodies to the vibrations and resonance of Himalaya singing bowls for one hour each day. It is structured as a time to restore mental balance and awaken inner energy amid deep relaxation.
Tuition is 500,000 won for the 6-hour certification course as a special price to mark the MOU signing (certificate issuance fee of 98,000 won is separate), and 120,000 won for the sound therapy one-day class.
Who is the program for?
This program spans yoga instructors and meditation guides,
those interested in singing bowls and sound healing,
those interested in Reiki and energy healing,
and also healing program operators and wellness professionals. It is fine even if you are not an expert. If you are someone who needs deep rest while looking inward, you can participate in a way that matches your own goals, with both experiential and certification-format programs prepared together. The program runs with a small, select group and requires advance reservation.
One week in which the quiet of the Himalayas comes to the middle of the city. For those who want to pause for a moment and listen to their own breathing, early June at Raum Art Center may become a comma to take one step of rest.
The program will be held at the Todak Todak Healing Art Center inside Raum Art Center (564 Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul). Inquiries about participation and singing bowl purchases are available at 010-5290-8028 and 010-7561-1604.
