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 two-day 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.
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. The Highlight of the course is a Gong ceremony in which you can experience the deep and healing effect of a sound journey. On the second day, you will learn how to create and hold gong baths ad sound journeys yourself, how you create the necessary environment by taking care of all the elements.
We are putting a strong emphasis on how you can take care of yourself as an instrument so become more receptive for 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.
It is important to note that you don’t need to have a Gong on your own. We will work a lot with synesthetic exercises through which you will learn methods of how to practice deep listening, focus and flow, and improvisation skills which are key faculties for the art of the gong without a gong.
