Journey Into Gongs

  • The Block Fitness (The Old Rock Gym) 131 Regal St. Murphy, NC 28906 US (map)

This will be a fully immersive gong bath at the Block Fitness Center (The Old Rock Gym) in Murphy, NC. The vibrational resonance and rich layering of the gongs wash over the body, inviting deep relaxation and a meditative state. One of the beautiful aspects of the gong is the ever-changing landscape of tones and harmonics. There are low deep rumbling waves, warm washes and bright splashes. Because the mind cannot anticipate where the sound will go next, it gradually takes a back seat, allowing us to move beyond our usual thought patterns and drop into a deeper state of relaxation and presence.

The gong bath is an opportunity to slow down and drop in deep!

With a background spanning over 30 years in the field of therapeutic sound I have experienced several workshops with Gong Master Don Conreaux, including a weeklong intensive at Ananda Ashram in Monroe, NY in 2017. This experience affirmed and broadened my understanding of the gong as a powerful tool for sound healing, and it has since become an integral part of my healing practice.

Journey Into Gongs is an invitation to experience the beauty and power of a remarkable healing modality.

Please bring your own yoga mat, blankets, pillows, bolsters- whatever you need to be comfortable and supported. Chairs will also available for those who prefer not to lie down.

*Note- Generally people want to lie down during the gong bath (or gong puja, as it is sometimes called). However, one of the things I have discovered is that moving with the gong, with its wide array of frequencies and vibrations, can be incredibly freeing and release lot of tension in the body. The room is very large, so if you feel called to move, there will be plenty of space.

This event is by donation. Everyone is welcome! Pay what you are comfortable with. I'll post a payment link at the bottom of this page, or you can pay when you arrive at the gym. You're also welcome to wait until after the gong bath and see how you feel.
