Learning the “whats and whys” of good playing, and linking them to practical experience will open the door to discovering that the gong can take you from the mundane human experience into learning to know your Self more deeply. You can then explore further for yourself and share it with others.

Caring for a gong

Intermediate Training: Sunday, August 30th | 2:00 - 6:00pm 

We will provide the knowledge and refined skills to learn to deepen the conversation between you and the gong. This discovery is where the long-term, deeply satisfying relationship develops further.

Then the gong responds by sharing the depth of its language resulting in the experience of deeper cosmic communication. We will also explore how to play bowls and connect their voices with gongs.
