Community

Community is much more than belonging to something.

It's about doing something together that makes belonging matter.

Community is belonging, supporting, and togetherness.

Community is an essential element of wellbeing.

A lot of my work focuses on community wellbeing. The Gong is one of man's most powerful and oldest transformational and therapeutic 'instruments'. Gongs have been used for ritual, ceremony, prayer and meditation since the Bronze Age. I use Gongs in my popular community Gong Baths and also in my 1-2-1 work with clients seeking a more personal touch to their experience with the gongs and sound healing.

 

The vibration of a gong is a powerful method for reducing stress.

​

In my community Gong Baths I create 'an ocean of sound' that encourages a natural state of profound relaxation. Essentially, I'm activating the parasympathetic nervous system, (natural body rhythms like breathing) to counteract the over-stressed sympathetic nervous system (fight and flight response.) It is thought that depression and anxiety can also be alleviated through attending regular gong baths.

​

I aim to reduce isolation in bringing communities together through Gong Baths, and also contribute towards better social cohesion.

​

In a gong bath, a listeners heart rate slows, blood pressure drops and the breath is restored to its natural rhythm.

​

Gongs induce a whole-body felt vibration and a deeply impactful meditative state is created in the mind. This results in a sense of expanded 'awareness and wholeness'.

​

The vibrations and sounds of the gongs enable negativity to leave the mind and body, the perfect method for effortless relaxation. This really is quality 'you time'.

Regardless of religious beliefs, age or gender.

An immersion in sound is a precious moment to truly relax.
