More about Further Journeys in Gong Master Training
Master Quality Instruments
Students will have the opportunity to experiment with a beautiful collection of master quality instruments. Ranging from gongs, singing bowls, and receiving instruction on the shruti box, chanting, toning and singing. There will be an opportunity to learn or deepen your conch shell playing and the use of a wide selection of other instruments within the context of deep immersive sound journeys. Through demonstration, experiential learning and deep listening, students will expand their knowledge, understanding, and awareness.
The Rhythm of the Course
The application of new skills will be explored during short one-to-one therapeutic sessions gradually expanding towards the giving and receiving of a full in-depth one-to-one with gongs bowls and other instruments.
So that we can make the most of our time together, the days will be full and long. The days will begin with pre-breakfast yoga/meditation/chanting to set the tone of the work. Instruction will be given throughout the day, ending with group sessions after dinner.
The Way of the Gong
All of this will be set within the context of the broader Way of the Gong, the growing of Gong Consciousness, and the role of the gong player as a world servant.
It is our heartfelt intention to meet you wherever you are on your journey in sound so that you leave with the confidence and skills to take your practice to the next level.
The course should be approached both as a valuable resource for deepening one’s own therapeutic practice, and also in the spirit of reciprocal learning, the call to everyone entering the way of the gong.
