Why is gong therapy so popular?
Gongs are portals to other places, they are the most tonally complex instrument and create sounds that are a sensation that can both be felt in the body heard by the ear. It transforms our emotions, connects us to something beyond ourselves, embodies creative energies, and can bring us back to center to a state of harmony with our purpose.

“So glad I signed up for the Rooted in Sound Retreat and Sound Bath this last weekend. We learned about so many sound instruments like gongs (that was awesome), drums, also singing bowls, chimes and so much more. Best of all we got to experience playing them and receiving them. This was the most fun I've had at a retreat in a long time, probably ever. I highly recommend this Retreat and the Sound Bath when they offer it again. “ Julie
What will I be doing?
In this class we will be learning basic techniques for playing a variety of gongs, gong theory, and be introduced to the tools of the trade. Types of gongs, mallets, stands, cleaning supplies, and other tools will be discussed and you will have the opportunity to interact with them.
This class is a mix experiential as well as theory. What do you experience when you play a particular instrument? How does it make you feel? How does it make others feel to listen? How can we use these amazing instruments to enrich our life and the lives of those around us?
We will play some fun games as a group. We will be playing for each other. Most importantly we will be playing for ourselves.
