The Gong is one of man's oldest therapeutic instruments, and is used in yoga, sound meditation, and vibrational therapy from the distant past to present. The Gong is an ideal tool for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and as a facilitator to break up emotional blockages. This training program is meant to take you through the world of the Gong which makes this an ideal course of study for those who own Gongs, or are thinking of purchasing one. Aspects of this program will cover Gong styles and types, playing implements, stands, playing techniques including rub mallets, and more.

This program looks at all the ways the Gong can be used for Sound Therapy, Meditation, Yoga, live performance and personal practice. An examination of new gong products will also be reviewed. Ideal for all levels of experience. The program will showcase sound baths, and numerous demonstrations, meant to elevate your awareness in using this instrument in many applications.

Hosted by Mitch Nur,PhD who has been playing Gongs for over 4 decades and has a personal collection of over 50 hanging Gongs, and hundreds of resting Gongs from all the world's Gong cultures. He blends the science with the experiential which makes this a dynamic learning experience. Students will encounter a mentoring program that increases awareness, ability, and confidence.

The Art of the Gong is connected through centuries of old traditions and sacred tonal soundsmiths.

The basic structure of this syllabus is in 6 parts, with the first 3 representing all the basic and essential knowledge about Gongs, followed by 3 advanced workshops which penetrate the inner understanding of this most ancient of instruments. New for 2014, is a program on the science of metals and how it relates to Gongs, this added day presents scientific insights no other program in the world offers. This course examines the tonal alchemy and metaphysical approaches with an emphasis on how to use the Gong's frequency domains as a psycho-acoustical entry point for shifting consciousness. The Gong technician who can reach a place of non-conceptuality and locality can use the Gong as a wheelhouse to alter Time and Space.

The Gong Camp is a 5 day retreat with an optional 6th day for a visit to the Gong warehouse of Steve Weiss Music for those students wishing to purchase Gongs and accessories; and is recommended even if your not looking to buy a Gong, just for the insights. All Steve Weiss Gongs are hand selected in China, what is left or rejected, is sold to the other Gong suppliers in the world. Here's your chance to hand select, from an already hand selected inventory! Steve Weiss Music carries every manufacturer including Matt Nolan, and the German manufacturers. Steve Weiss Music is the official supplier of the Gong Camp.

Our Gong Camp location is a private yoga studio close to Lake Nockamixon, in scenic upper Bucks County, near Perkasie, PA. There is a limited amount of shared apartments onsite, that are fully furnished, including bedding. The apartments are a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel. There is also a local hostel on the opposite side of the lake, which is a very cost effective option for lodging.

You do not need to own a Gong or bring a Gong, we will have Gongs set up for everyone to play, representing all the Gong cultures of the world. This program does not focus on one type of Gong, like so many other programs do. We are not judging one type of Gong over another, nor are we teaching you a particular philosophy. We are teaching you solely about Gongs, showcasing all the different types, styles, and manufacturers. You are then the judge, to what type of Gong sounds good to you, without any bias or endorsement from any maker. You will leave this program knowledgeable, empowered, elevated, and confident.
