About this Event
Join us for a two hour Gong Bath to relax and revitalize your mind, body, and spirit.
The Moon in Virgo brings forth a desire for order and clarity. Balancing our need to organise everything that is chaotic in our lives with trying to be more tolerant and accepting of the imperfections along the way. We will focus on trusting life run its own course and learning that not everything has to conform to our expectations.
This event takes place at Ensomble Studio and is an opportunity to delve deeper with a longer ceremony and fewer people.
The sound journey will commence with a smoke smudge to clear stagnant energies before we start. Then we will share some blue lotus tea**, engage in some breath work to clear the mind and then embark on a journey with the gongs and other instruments. Afterwards there will be some time to journal, share with others, and enjoy some herbal tea and chocolate before leaving.
If you've never been to a sound ceremony or gong bath, here is a little more information: gong baths promote relaxation, reduce stress, and can stimulate altered states of consciousness. Benefits include relief from anxiety, better sleep, released emotional blockages, and improved focus. They also help slow down heart and respiration rates, and increase nitric oxide levels. Entrainment, or synchronizing brainwaves with gong frequencies, can create overall harmony within the body. You will hear sounds from the gongs, as well as other instruments, such as Himalayan singing bowls, flutes, crystal singing bowls, rattles, and chimes amongst others. No two ceremonies are quite the same.
The venue has a capacity of approximately six people, so early booking recommended.
Please note there are two events on 24 November, one at 11am and the other at 6pm.

Testimonials:
Cherice - The full moon gong bath I did with Philip was absolutely wonderful. I had never come across Philip or his work until it popped up on Eventbrite. I felt intuitively guided to go and I’m so glad I did! It was a deeply nourishing and powerful evening that helped me move through some big things I was processing. Philip holds space so beautifully and I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience some deep healing for their nervous system.
Roy - I felt transported physically, mentally and spiritually. I was amazed by the peacefulness, clarity of mind, well being, and grounded sensation I experienced.
Laura - It's helped move me to a place of deep relaxation at the time of the sessions and I've noticed a real feeling of peace and calm afterwards, with an ongoing feeling of gratitude for things and with a more positive ‘can do’ attitude.
Bert - My breath was singing with the gongs. I could breathe and let the sound carry me and let go. As a health worker, stressful situations and environments have an effect on one's body. They have a certain vibration, and that vibration can be changed by listening to the gongs. It just realigns your body into being more relaxed and takes you back to the origin.
