Group Sound Healing Sessions
Please scroll down for details of scheduled events
Your own private group session can also be arranged
Soundbath or Gongbath - highly recommended for chilling-out!
Participants are bathed in a cocoon of healing sounds using an array of Gongs as well as Himalayan and Crystal Bowls. The intention is to promote a state of deep relaxation (an optimum state for our innate healing powers to take effect), while allowing the body to pick up the vibrations it needs to help shift blocked energy and restore the body's natural frequencies. Towards the end of the session I also use a variety of other sound healing instruments - rainsticks, ocean drum, bells, shakers and more. These help to ground people before leaving but also add to the magic of the event. The term "Gongbath" implies an even greater focus on the use of gongs within the session.
Depending on location, participants lie on the floor on a yoga mat or something similar or on recliners. It's advisable to avoid stimulants (alcohol, coffee, etc.) before-hand and to have some water with you for after the session.
The bath lasts an hour including a brief introduction and settling time. Time is also allowed later for coming to. Some participants choose to leave promptly and quietly so they can hold on to their relaxed state while others stay and chat about their experience, or I can be contacted later to give feeback.
Rhythm of Life Drumming - a very empowering event! See also Workshops & Seminars Page
Through the power of the drum these sessions are about self-expression, having fun, de-stressing, mutual support and connection with life rhythms. We usually include some simple chants to enhance the process. No previous drumming (or chanting) experience is necessary. Frame drums (e.g. N. American Buffalo drums) are provided but if you have a frame drum please bring it along.
Sound Exploration - working creatively with others
In these sessions you have the opportunity to try out my my gongs, bowls, drums, etc and to work within a small group to create a soundscape (an auditory picture). The benefits derive from the pleasures of creating the sounds for yourself, the process of working creatively within a group, and observing and reflecting on any resistances that might surface. These sessions lend themselves well to a private group arrangement involving friends or colleagues.
