The Karyna Centre for Transformation was created in 1994 by Susie Nelson-Smith, the Director and has been a College dedicated to teaching professional, accredited training and study programs and a Centre for private healing consultations.

It is now possible to visit the Centre by appointment and view, play and listen to a selection of Alchemy, classic and therapeutic clear crystal singing bowls and purchase if you wish. For those unable to visit the Centre, an online shop has been created where you can purchase your own crystal bowl and experience directly the sacred healing sounds. Alchemy, classic and therapeutic clear crystal singing bowls and accessories are available as well as crystals and gems sourced from around the world; healing and meditation CDs; and unique objects for creating sacred space and mandalas. Purpose

Our purpose is to promote and support the awareness, study and practice of refined energetic healing and spiritual practices and to assist World Servers to serve humanity. Philosophy

The Karyna Centre is dedicated to serving the healing process of humanity by assisting people to expand and realise their natural gifts in a vibrational resonance that both supports and guides each person to activate the highest octave within. All teaching programs and therapeutic healing sessions are offered from the understanding that each person knows themself better than anyone else and all our work helps facilitate that knowingness.

The Global Crystal Bowl Symposium 4 is a global event being held at the 5-Star TUI BLUE Angkor Grace Wellness Resort from 29 October - 5 November 2026. During the program, we will hear from masters of the Crystal Bowls, on Sound, Science, and Spirituality.

πŸŒ… Close your eyes for a moment. Can you hear it? 🎢✨

The warmth of a Cambodian sunset.
A gentle breeze through the tropical gardens.
The day's conversations fade into peaceful silence.

The first crystal bowl begins to sing. One note becomes many, drifting through the evening air as the sky turns gold, amber, and rose. Around you, people from across the world pause, breathe, and simply listen.

It's more than a soundscape. It's a moment where time slows down. A reminder that some of life's most meaningful experiences aren't rushed; they're felt.

At GCBS4, these are the moments we'll carry home with us: the memories we create, the peace we experience, and the feeling of being fully present.

As the sun sets over Angkor Grace, perhaps you'll discover that the most powerful resonance isn't coming from the bowls. It's the one awakening within you. πŸ’›

✨ Imagine yourself there. What's the first feeling that comes to mind? Share one word in the comments below; we'd love to hear it. πŸŒπŸ‘‡

πŸ’ƒβœ¨ Every movement tells a story. Every note carries centuries of tradition. ✨🎢

One of the greatest gifts of attending GCBS4 is experiencing the rich cultural heart of Cambodia.

Traditional Khmer dance is renowned for its graceful, flowing movements, with each gesture symbolising emotions, nature, mythology, or moments from ancient legends.

Accompanied by the mesmerising sounds of traditional Cambodian music, these performances offer a beautiful glimpse into a culture where art, storytelling, and spirituality have been intertwined for generations.

As we gather to explore the healing power of sound, we'll also have the opportunity to appreciate another timeless expression of vibration and connection: music that has preserved Cambodia's heritage and inspired its people for centuries.

Travel isn't just about seeing new places; it's about opening our hearts to new perspectives. By embracing Cambodia's artistic traditions, we deepen our understanding of the country that will so warmly welcome us to GCBS4.

Who knows? Your most unforgettable memory might not be only the sound of crystal bowls, but also the rhythm, beauty, and grace of Cambodia itself. πŸ’›

✨ Before you arrive, take a few moments to discover the magic of traditional Khmer dance and music. You might find yourself falling in love with Cambodia before your journey even begins.

πŸ’› Sometimes the person who helps you heal isn't the one with all the answers; they're the one who simply stays beside you. πŸ’›

Healing isn't meant to be a solo journey. It's found in the friend who listens without judgement. The teacher who encourages you to keep growing. The community that celebrates your wins, lifts you through challenges, and reminds you that you belong.

That's one of the things we treasure most about the Global Crystal Bowl Symposium. People arrive from all corners of the world, often as strangers, and leave with friendships, mentors, and a community that continues to inspire them long after the symposium ends. 🌏✨

Whether it's sharing a sunrise at Angkor Wat, learning alongside world-renowned presenters, or sitting together in the beautiful resonance of crystal singing bowls, something special happens when hearts come together with a shared intention.

Because healing has a way of growing stronger when it's witnessed, encouraged, and shared. 🎢🌿

At GCBS4, we're not just creating an event; we're nurturing a community where everyone has something to teach, something to learn, and something meaningful to offer.

✨ Here's a little love challenge:

Tag someone who has supported your healing journey, believed in you, or simply been there when you needed them most. Let them know how much they mean to you. πŸ’›πŸ‘‡

The crystals spoke to me this morning.

I am Citrine, warming the solar plexus, dissolving self-doubt and calling forth the courage to begin.
I am Black Tourmaline, standing at the gate, grounding my energy and returning what is not mine to carry.
I am Moonstone, attuned to the tides within me, softening the sharp edges and welcoming mystery.
I am Crystal, vibrating with the Earth and the Stars.

Take a moment to feel which crystal is with you right now. 🌞

Sound. Stone. Soul.

This is the path.
This is the invitation.
This is the work.

There is still one place available in the Crystal Sound Therapy Certificate II.25–31 July, Blue Mountains.

If you have been sitting with this decision, I want to offer a gentle truth: The bowls rarely call without reason.

This training is for those who feel the pull toward sound as a healing art; whether you are entirely new to it, or returning to deepen what you already carry.

What graduates say:
"Susie's teaching changed the way I listen; not only to sound, but to myself."
"The in-depth training has been so rewarding. Be guided by your heart." β€” Karen Fullbrook

I am Dioptase, dissolving karmic debt and releasing what has been carried across lifetimes, making space for what is new.
I am Kyanite, guardian of the spirit, cutting through illusion with the precision of a blade of light.
I am Carnelian, activating the creative fire, beckoning dreams into form with warmth and confidence.
I am Crystal, vibrating with the Earth and the Stars.

What is ready to be released? What is ready to be created?
