Event Details

For the Love of Gongs – 5 DAY Journey Training

THIS IS A LIVE 5 DAY CLASS held at the Kootenay Sound Healing Centre near Riondel, BC. We have over 30 large gongs here for students to learn, play and explore with  🙂

May 12 to 16 2025!

9:30 am to 4:30 pm pacific time

For the Love of Gongs  is designed to inspire new and experienced players to expand their practice and skill set. We will begin by discussing the gong and gong culture throughout history. We will explore the physics of sound and what happens when we strike a gong. Techniques are taught that expand our perceptions on how we hold a mallet, and how we approach striking a gong. We will learn how our choice of mallet affects the quality of tone expressed. Most importantly, learners will study how to play the gong therapeutically and in an aesthetic way.

Learning the techniques will build confidence while encouraging play and exploration. This class will help to take our relationship with the gong to another dimension.

Therapeutic Sound Journeys with gongs, bowls, chimes, and more. We will introduce all of the sound healing instruments we use to create a therapeutic sound journey. We look at how we can weave our tools together. How to listen to our inner knowing to help guide our choices of when to add an instrument.

How we can use drumming to invoke trance states and deep journey work.

We introduce the Acutonics® planetary hand chimes and how they provide powerful ways to invoke planetary archetypes and their intervallic personalities. They are a great way to set an intention with the repeated focus of the journey theme.

Together we will collaborate and create a sound journey. We discuss the beginning, the middle, and the end. Students will be creating and presenting their sound journeys to the group.
