at ormi_khoomii@yahoo.com Open to anyone who wishes to bring consciousness to their
world of sound & vibration. Gongs resonate with powerful, positive healing energy. They are inspirational tools in anyone's healing practice. The workshop will be an
experiential journey through the sounds of the gongs, their history and use in
meditation/relaxation and deep listening practices. Attendees will learn the
techniques of making the gongs ring and sing in a relaxed and friendly
environment and have the opportunity to receive and take part in a gong sound
massage/meditation. Michael and Candida have
been playing gongs for the past 20 years. Michael has performed and been
invited to teach many times at the Gong Master training camp by Gong Master
Don Conreaux. He has performed with
Don's Mysterious Tremendum Ensemble since they first visited the UK and has
appeared on many of their recordings. He was invited to New York in 1997 to
teach and perform with Don. Candida completed the first UK Gong Master
training course led by Don Conreaux and with Michael leads Deep Gong Sound
Journeys, Therapeutic Gong Baths, Gong Massage Treatments, Gong Yoga session
and individual Gong Healing sessions. As Dane Rudhyar has said “A gong is a perfect brotherhood of tones perfectly united and
blended, as a vehicle, or vahan, for some cosmic entity. In it the law of cohesion 'manifests fully. It is a concentric and organic body, through which the energy of sound flows uninterrupted; and in some cases at least, it has not only an elemental soul
born out of the cohesive principle, but also a spiritual soul as well brought down into its mass
by the concentrated devotion of its maker. The artisans of old spent years casting and fashioning some
temple gongs so that the tone of the gong might be a revelation to all the
devotees who would hear it filling the holy places.” |
