Globe Institute - Sausalito, California

Discovered this place while searching for sound healing navigating through some emotional challenges. I’ve used sound effectively for concentration, meditation, and emotional relief. We can easily see how sound affects the body with something as simple as music. If you’re familiar with brain wave entrainment or binaural beats that sync the brain hemispheres and initiate and bolster vibration and frequencies, this institute is excellent to support you in your journey. They have open houses, free to the public, so if you’re curious, get on their mailing list. At any rate, I went in for a session to discover the frequency that I resonate most with and left with 4 audio tracks - beta, theta, alpha, delta. I had been using general soundtracks for concentration and meditation and now I’m happy to say I have my own.

The nicest people work here. Bought the sound healing bed and vibrating dolphin ! A glorious experience ! The bed syncs up to specific music provided by the store. LOVE the experience, they let you try for free, you won’t be sorry

I found the Institute "hiding in plain sight" on a walk through Sausalito and signed up for an open house. The open house was both informative and uplifting. Highly recommend exploring their work to help heal people and the planet.

Globe Institute is by far the best sound healing center I have known of in Bay Area. The teachers are all REAL expertises and they REALLY love what they are doing. I was bit sad as they moved from SF to Sausalito as SF is closer to me, but this won’t stop me from driving an hour one way each time to have class there. I think Globe Institute is a hidden gem in this area and the class/info they provides are wayyy underestimated…. Until time will prove..

Negligent owner. Basically a glorified and over priced drop shipping company for audio components. Took a week and a half for them to ask for my address after paying almost a thousand dollars. Sent order in three separate packages with no tracking info provided. Sloppy, inconsiderate and genuinely unkind. Never again Globe.

Edit for response: he just drop ships his 'sound healing' equipment from Amazon. Get real buddy you over charged for my headphones and all components and it took weeks to get. No wonder you're under 3 stars.

I called with a few preliminary questions because I was set on enrolling in one of the certification programs. I expected to receive a receptionist but I was immediately directed to David, who I know is the head of the Institute. I appreciated that he was able to receive my call but the conversation was met with so much hostility that I could not get off the phone fast enough. I was, I still am, extremely rattled by it. I had already read the website pamphlets extensively, I just wanted some clarification before putting $2000 down. I’m glad I called because the conversation I had was so jarring, I would never want to be around someone who speaks to individuals, perspective students or otherwise, so rudely on the phone.
At one point he said to me, after I repeated something for clarification “Are you deaf!? That’s what I just said!”. This is not even the worst part of the 5 min conversation that transpired. It was so offputting I will be looking for another institute for my certification. In a way, I am grateful David answered and not a receptionist- as he is the primary instructor that one interacts with. I would not have known about this negative vibe unless I had this conversation. I can’t even recall when I have ever been spoken to like that by a person I did not know. I didn’t think asking a few questions was such an inconvenience or a warrant for such hostility.

I’m sure the Institute does not need or want my money- this is just a review to inform perspective students- I recommend you call David yourself and decide if you want to learn from this person before enrolling.

I visited the Globe Sound and Consciousness Institute for a sound healing workshop and open house. Globe Institute is one of those special San Francisco places. The sound healing table was a highlight but really it's all excellent: the instruments, and of course the sound system. What a treat!
