UK, All Night Gong Puja - An Autumn Equinox Celebration, Sarah Gregg, Sheering, Essex, 21 Sep 2019
Join us for what is always a beautiful and transformational event, the All Night Gong Puja. We will be harnessing the energies of the Autumn Equinox, traditionally a time to express our gratitude for our blessings. Join us for an inspirational and uplifting event to adopt new energies for yourself so that you can bring your ideas, hopes and dreams into action though the deep healing that the gongs played for such an extended period of time will bring.
Please arrive for 8 pm on Saturday evening. There will be time for you to settle in and get comfortable before our opening ceremony which will start at 8:30 pm. Last entry will be 8:15 pm so as to avoid any disruption and doors will be locked after this time. The opening ceremony will be followed by ten hours of the gong played by experienced gong players.
To maintain the peace and ambience, all people present are asked to respect a “Noble Silence” during the event. This not only stops others being disturbed in anyway, it also allows each person to go within and enjoy a truly meditative experience. There is a large breakout room available should you need some time away from the gongs, and we ask that you maintain the silence here also. Or you may wish to spend the whole time in the gong space. You can sit in meditation, lie back, relax and also sleep.
The hall is well equipped with a large kitchen, secondary hall and toilets etc. Teas and light refreshments will be available during the evening, and you are also invited to bring any thing to share you feel would be received in gratitude (nibbles etc—vegetarian please).
Please bring a yoga mat or something to lie on, blanket, cushion and anything to make yourself warm and comfortable during the experience (camping mattress, duvet, sleeping bag, pyjamas etc).
Gongs will stop around 7 am and after a closing ceremony, there will be the opportunity to have a cup of tea and toast for your homeward journey. Again, if you wish to bring any breakfast items (vegetarian only) with you then please feel free to do so.
There is plenty of parking outside the hall, although those arriving last may have to double park.
Gong pujas are very special, sacred experiences. It is recommended you have experienced at least one gong bath before attending this event, so that you are aware of the deeply transformational effects of the gong. You are also invited to bring your own positive intention along with something to place on the Altar to represent your dreams, goals and aspirations.
If you are pregnant, have recently had surgical implants or have a pacemaker/defibrillator installed, please enquire whether this event is suitable.
