GONGTOPIA, with Michael Bettine, is so much more than just gongs. It’s gongs, singing bowls, bells, and other percussion instruments combined into a pulsating soundscape designed to help you slow down and invite stillness within. There’s no hurry, no destination—only the breath and being in the moment. The vibrations can help with stress, fatigue, depression, anger, and blocked energy. This is personal self-care.Michael Bettine - Bio
