About this Event

Garden Gong Bathing

Immerse yourself in a transformative meditative journey with FONA’s full moon gong bathing at the National Arboretum. This event is part of FONA’s Wellness Wednesday series, hosted all summer long during summer evening hours.

During this meditative experience led by Noaco Wowsugi, gongs resonate with rich vibrations, creating a soothing soundscape that washes over you. Participants lie comfortably while the resonant tones penetrate the mind and body, helping to release tension, enhance emotional well-being, and foster a sense of inner peace. Set against the backdrop of the Washington Youth Garden in the Arboretum, this unique opportunity will allow you to unwind within the calming energy of nature.
