Sound Healing · Belgrade
Sound, stillness and time that is entirely your own.
A guided experience with gongs, singing bowls and silence. Join an open workshop or choose a private session — for yourself or a closed group.
Session flow
What actually happens.
From the start, you know where you are, what comes next, and when the session ends. No previous experience is needed.
Arrival and orientation
You get to know the space and receive a short, clear introduction before the sound begins.A comfortable position
You sit or lie down in a way that is comfortable and possible for you. There is no technique to perform.A sound arc
Mladen shapes a whole through gongs, singing bowls, other acoustic instruments, changes in intensity, and silence.Silence and a quiet close
The sound gradually ends, leaving time to stretch, get up slowly, and return to the pace of the day.
A different kind of attention
Time without the next task.
Most everyday attention is used for messages, screens, obligations, and reacting to the next request.
At Aural you simply arrive, settle in, and know the session has a beginning and an ending. There is no task to perform or prove. you do not have to produce, interpret, or achieve anything. Attention can stay with sound, silence, and whatever you notice, without being asked for a particular result. For a while, your attention does not need to serve the next outer demand.
The Aural signature
A story with no picture.
Mladen does not play instruments as a sequence of disconnected sounds. Over the course of the encounter he builds a whole arc, changing rhythm, intensity, instruments, and silence so the experience takes on its own flow.
It is a little like a film without an image. The sound changes, but nothing tells you what to see or how to read it. When your eyes are closed and there is no next task, attention gets more room. Images, memories, thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations may appear — and sometimes it is simply listening.
Sound gives the experience a structure. Whatever story appears inside it is your own.
Sound as a physical phenomenon
Sound is not only what you hear.
A deep gong, a sustained singing bowl tone, or a shift in intensity does not have to remain only a listening event. Some sounds can also be felt as vibration—in the body, in the space around you, or as a sense that sound is physically surrounding you.
Sound is a physical phenomenon: vibration from the source creates pressure changes that travel through the air, and hearing and touch are not fully separate ways of perceiving.
Sound does not need mystification to be fascinating.

Why these instruments
Instruments that give you more than a single note.
Gongs and metal singing bowls have complex patterns of vibration. Their sound does not end as soon as they are struck: different components become more and less prominent as the tone evolves and gradually decays.
That range gives Mladen material to shape a sound arc during the encounter — from almost imperceptible details to moments when sound fills the whole space.
- Layers
- Several tones and overtones within one sound
- Duration
- A long decay that changes as it unfolds
- Contrast
- From very quiet to powerful, and back into silence
A long history of listening
Sound has been part of human experience far longer than modern Sound Healing.
almost 9,000 years
Jiahu, China
Archaeologists found complete, playable bone flutes with several finger holes.
This does not mean those instruments were used for what we now call Sound Healing. It shows something simpler: people have used organised sound for music, ritual, gathering, and experience for a very long time.
The limits of the claim
What we know — and what we do not claim.
Research on music and structured sound-based interventions has reported short-term changes in self-reported tension, anxiety, mood, and some autonomic measures.
Results vary with the intervention, context, and measurement. Evidence specific to contemporary Sound Healing and singing-bowl sessions remains limited; some of the available studies are small or observational.
That is why Aural does not present Sound Healing as treatment for disease. We offer a carefully shaped experience of sound, guided attention, silence, and time of your own — without promising a medical outcome.
The full health and professional boundary is set out in our Terms of Use.

Practical questions
A few more things before you arrive.
Not necessarily. The names often describe related formats in which participants rest and listen to gongs, singing bowls, or other acoustic instruments. Aural uses Sound Healing for its own carefully guided format with sound and silence, described on this page.
The duration is shown with each published workshop. A private format and its duration are arranged directly, depending on the number of people and the context of the session.
Wear comfortable clothing, have a light meal beforehand, and arrive 5–10 minutes early. You receive the exact practical information for your chosen date with your booking.
An open workshop has a published date, price, and a group you join. Private Sound Healing is one arranged date for you or your closed group of 2–15 people.
Yes. Spoken guidance during an open workshop is minimal, and practical booking and arrival information can be sent to you in English by email.
Contact us before booking or include it in your message. We will check the specific date and space and clearly explain what can be arranged.
