Listen. Learn. Create. Transform.
At Silence In Sound, we believe that sound is more than something we hear—it is something we experience. Founded by Craig and Jacquie Shankster, Silence In Sound is a specialist sound resource based on the edge of the breathtaking Snowdonia National Park in Mid Wales. For over four decades, we have dedicated ourselves to exploring, researching, collecting, and sharing the transformative qualities of Himalayan Singing Bowls, The Original Singing Gongs, and traditional sound instruments.

 

Our journey began in 1982 and has taken us across Nepal, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where we studied sound therapy, vibrational sound massage, and the practical applications of therapeutic sound. Through years of travel, learning, and collaboration, we have developed trusted relationships with highly respected craftspeople and suppliers in Nepal, enabling us to personally select practitioner-quality instruments for our clients.

 

Today, Silence In Sound serves a diverse community of sound practitioners, therapists, musicians, educators, wellbeing professionals, and curious explorers seeking a deeper connection with sound.

 

A Space to Explore Sound

Our studio is designed as a calm, welcoming environment where learning and self-discovery can flourish. Whether you are taking your first steps into the world of sound or refining an established practice, we provide opportunities to develop confidence, practical skills, and a deeper understanding of the relationship between sound, vibration, and awareness.

 

Through workshops, studio visits, demonstrations, and one-to-one guidance, we encourage a hands-on approach that allows participants to experience sound directly rather than simply learn about it.

Authentic Instruments, selected with care.

We are passionate about sourcing instruments with exceptional character, resonance, and craftsmanship. Every Himalayan Singing Bowl and Singing Gong we offer has been individually chosen for its quality, musicality, and energetic presence. Silence In Sound is also the creator and importer of the Original Singing Gong range, helping practitioners and musicians access instruments that inspire creativity and exploration.

 

Independent and Inclusive

Silence In Sound is entirely independent of any religious or spiritual organisation. We welcome people from all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions, creating an open and respectful environment where sound can be explored through personal experience.

Our Mission
To create meaningful experiences through sound, inspire curiosity, support personal growth, and provide exceptional instruments and learning opportunities for those who wish to explore the remarkable world of vibration and resonance.Whether you visit our studio, join a workshop, or discover one of our instruments, we invite you to listen deeply, learn openly, create freely, and transform through sound.
