About this Event
Join us for an immersive Gong Sound Bath at the at the Main Sanctuary of the St.Clement's Anglican Church in Lynn Valley, facilitated by Aravind Vanchesan (Theta Space).
Take a pause in the middle of the week.
This 75-minute gong meditation is designed to help you shift out of the pace of the day and into a deeper state of rest.
No prior experience needed. Just lie down or sit comfortably and let the sound do the work.
Many people choose to come with a friend. It often deepens the experience.
NOTE:
These sessions are intentionally priced to remain accessible and welcoming for the local community. A regular, grounded way to unwind together in Lynn Valley.
The pews at this venue are moveable and will be pushed back so that there is plenty of space for attendees to lay down in their mats up front.
What to Expect
This is a deeply restorative, laying down experience. The session unfolds gently and progressively:
- Arrival & grounding to help you settle into the space
- Intention setting to consciously arrive and let the day go
- Guided breathwork to down-regulate the nervous system
- Full-spectrum gong sound immersion for deep rest and inner stillness
- Quiet closing to integrate before re-entering the evening
The experience offers gong sound immersion using large, high-quality gongs, including two massive 38-inch Sun Gongs. The layered resonance of the gongs creates a surrounding “sound envelope” that many people experience as timeless, floating, or spacious, allowing the mind to quiet and the body to rest deeply.
Each sound journey is unique and unfolds organically in the moment.

- Anyone feeling busy, overstimulated, or tense
- Those looking for a non-effortful way to meditate
- Experienced meditators seeking deeper rest and integration
- First-timers curious about sound meditation
What to Bring
- Yoga mat
