SUMMARY:Gong Bath: Between Sound\, Stillness & Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a transformative Gong Bath session designed to help you relax\, release\, and reconnect with your inner calm. \nThe session takes place in a candlelit studio\, creating a warm\, inviting space to help you ease into deep relaxation. You’ll spend 45–60 minutes in stillness\, lying down\, fully immersed in the sound and vibrations of a variety of instruments\, including: \n\n2 Gongs (30″ Earth Gong + 36″ Paiste Symphonic Gong)\nHimalayan Singing Bowls\nShamanic Drum\nOcean Drum\nThunder Drum\nChime Bells\n…and many more percussive instruments\, all designed to guide you on a deep inner journey and facilitate experiences of altered states of consciousness (ASC).\n\nWhat to bring: \n\nComfortable\, warm clothing\nYour own yoga mat and blanket (a few mats and blankets are available in the studio if you forget or can’t bring your own\, on a first-come\, first-served basis)\nA pillow\, if desired\, for extra comfort while lying down\n\nSpace etiquette: \n\nThe studio is a non-speaking space. During sign-in\, participants can ask any questions\, which will be answered by a team member. Once inside the studio\, participants are invited to lay down or sit quietly on their mat and enter a personal inner journey — relaxing\, tuning down\, letting the day dissolve\, and beginning the healing process.\nIf anything comes up during the session\, participants may quietly refer to me or let me know\, but please keep your voice low so as not to disturb others.\nPlease turn off your phones before entering to maintain a quiet\, undisturbed environment.\nAllow in any sounds from the surroundings during the Gong Bath. For example\, if a fellow participant snores or makes other sounds\, consider them part of the immersive experience and let them flow with the vibrations of the session.\n\nIncense: Light incense may be used to engage your senses and enhance the experience. If you would prefer not to have incense\, please let me know in advance so accommodations can be made. \nThis session is designed to help you connect deeply with your inner peace\, sense of calm\, and overall wellbeing. Whether you’re new to sound healing or a regular practitioner\, this is a unique opportunity to reset your mind\, body\, and spirit. \nBOOKINGS:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gong-bath-between-sound-stillness-consciousness-tickets-1916108765899?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
