28–29 November 2026Northern Light Yoga, Oslo
This two-day workshop is an invitation to everyone who wishes to deepen their skills, understanding, and experience of working with the gong, whether for personal practice, playing with others, or facilitating gong baths and sound journeys.
Mastering the gong does not mean controlling the instrument. It means learning to listen, respond, and allow the gong itself to become a teacher. The path of mastery involves both technical development and personal growth: sensitivity, trust, awareness, and presence.
Throughout the weekend, we will combine practical gong playing with meditation, creative exploration, and the art of holding space for others.
WHAT WE WILL EXPLORE
Deepening your gong practice
Refine your playing techniques, develop your sensitivity to sound, and discover new possibilities for expression.
Playing and improvising together
Explore deep listening, musical interaction, group dynamics, and the creative process of building sound journeys together.
Creating and facilitating gong baths
Learn how to plan, organise, and hold a complete gong bath, including preparing the space, choosing instruments, creating a flow, communicating with participants, and supporting integration.
Self-care for facilitators and spaceholders
Explore specific meditation, grounding, and self-regulation techniques to maintain your own balance, presence, and well-being when working with others. Learn to recognise your own limits, establish healthy boundaries, and take care of yourself before, during, and after holding space.
The gong as a path of self-mastery
Discover how working with the gong can deepen awareness, patience, trust, and your relationship with yourself and others.
An important part of the weekend will be creating and facilitating a public Gong Bath and Sound Journey together on Saturday evening. This provides a practical opportunity to bring everything into experience, from preparing the space and arranging the instruments to improvising, collaborating, and holding a shared sound experience.
The workshop welcomes both developing and experienced gong players. Previous experience is helpful, but you do not need to be a professional gong practitioner or have completed earlier modules of the Gong Master Course.
