Module 2 Schedule
The Meditative Art of Gong Playing
From Sound into Silence
Module 2 shifts the focus from technique to meditation.
We explore how playing the gong becomes a meditative practice in itself.
Special emphasis is placed on white sound — its capacity to cut through mental patterns, regulate the nervous system, and open a space beyond thought. The aim is to move from playing the gong to allowing the playing to become meditation.

An introductory evening open to new participants.
We revisit foundational playing techniques, posture, listening, and presence — reconnecting with the essence of the gong.

Closing circle
We are offering public Meditative Evening with the Gong on the following date:
• 17 April
Introduction to Gong Playing:
A Meditative Evening with the Gong
We will explore simple playing techniques and, more importantly, the quality of listening behind the sound.
How do you approach the gong?
How does sound affect the nervous system?
What happens when playing becomes meditation?
Through guided exercises and shared practice, you will experience how the act of playing can shift from “doing” into allowing — from creating sound to entering silence.
This evening can be taken as a standalone event or as the gateway into Module 2 of the Gong Master Training.
This introduction to the Gong is part of Module 2 of the Gong Course.
If you are already signed up for Module 2 or the Full Gong Course, you do not need to purchase a separate ticket for the Gong Ceremony. Your participation is included.
If you are not taking the course, you are still very welcome to join separately at the Introduction to the gong Playing Evening by signing up for the individual date.

Module 1
Introduction to the art of playing and mastering the GONG
This is an introduction and an approach to one of the most magnificent instruments.
This course will give you insights into the history and variety of the GONG and its various use as a healing and meditation tool.
You will have the chance to explore and play several instruments yourself and receive guidance if you are interested in purchasing an instrument yourself.
You will receive a booklet about basic playing techniques and practical information.
We will teach you some of the basic playing technics of the gong as well as other overtone instruments that can be used for sound and gong bath ceremonies.
We are putting a strong emphasis on how you can take care of yourself as an instrument so become more receptive to the subtle vibration, and at the same time how you build up your nervous system so you are capable of holding the space for a group of people.
We will teach you meditations and Kundalini Yoga exercises that will help you to enter and maintain a meditative state of mind and expand your electromagnetic field.
The Highlight of the module is a Gong bath on Saturday in which you can experience the effect of different gongs and overtone instruments.
The attendance of this course can be approved and certified by Northern Light Yoga Academy and will count as the first module of the Gong Master Course.

We will practice the ability to listen to each other while we interact and improvise with each other developing intuitive trust in the group and the process, accepting the Gong itself as a master. The Highlight of the course is a Gong Ceremony that we will conduct together on Sunday afternoon. Playing together as a group can be an initiation for you on your own path of self-mastery.
