Gong Journey: Sound Bath in Yaletown - Dec 6

Info

An immersive Gong Sound Meditation experience is set to take place in Yaletown. Participants will begin the evening by setting their intentions, with the option to incorporate the Huachuma plant, a shamanic cactus from the Andes known for enhancing self-awareness and meditation.

Following this, attendees will engage in a brief Guided Breathwork session designed to calm the nervous system. This will be succeeded by a Monochord meditation featuring a 33-string OM Monochord, which produces a soothing sound landscape to elevate the spirit.

The highlight of the experience will be a Gong Sound Bath, where participants will be enveloped in a rich blend of frequencies from various gongs, including the 38-inch Pure Titanium Sun Dance Gong and the 38-inch Paiste Planetary Sun Gong, among others. The aim of this sound journey is to provide a safe and relaxing atmosphere for deep inner exploration.

What participants need to bring: Nothing. The studio provides yoga mats, pillows, blankets, and more. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
