Service Description

Gong sound baths are highly rejuvenating for the body, mind & soul and bring about an overall sense of relaxation, which can reduce anxiety, help develop a better ability to cope with stress, shift / release emotional blockages from trauma, and even stimulate altered states of consciousness for rest, relaxation and healing. Solstice marks the start of winter. It is also known as the returning of light. After the shortest day the sun starts to return and slowly but surely with it, the return of warmth and light. Acknowledging and celebrating such sacred days are our soul’s opportunity to recalibrate and express our innate wholeness and reverence through ceremony and celebration and connection back to nature and ancestral wisdom. Half of the Earth's quest for regenerative healing takes place in dormancy and darkness. Dark holy days are where we restore our depth and see the most far-reaching solutions especially during our bodies' times of heightened consciousness. We will start with a gentle relaxation exercise followed by a deeply meditative gong sound bath. We will finish with ceremonial cacao and healthy treats at the end. ❤️ Wear loose comfy clothing and bring your own yoga mat, blocks/ cushion, blanket and water. It is important that you are comfortable so feel free to bring any extra blankets or layers for your yoga mat to ensure you are super comfy. It is suggested that you don’t eat anything too heavy beforehand, a light healthy snack is ok. Gong Sound Bath Experience*: the gong has been used for thousands of years and is being recognised as a powerful, non-invasive healing modality. The sound waves from the Gong induce a meditative state and enter into the body, affecting change at the cellular level, as well as the quantum level. Even in one session, a noticeable change can be experienced. *Contraindications: please note that sound journeys are not suitable for anyone that is pregnant or has a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition, please check with your doctor. Hearing aids must be taken out during the gong bath.
