SUMMARY:SOUND CIRCLE · GONG-LED YOGIC REST
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the yogic practices of deep rest and pratyahara (the inward turning of the senses)\, this special gong sound bath invites you to slow down\, settle in\, and reconnect with yourself. We begin with a guided meditation that includes intention setting (sankalpa) and a gentle rotation of consciousness\, helping to relax the body\, quiet the mind\, and prepare for deeper rest.   From there\, the experience opens into an immersive gong journey. Through waves of resonance\, rich overtones\, and spacious silence\, participants are invited into a state between wakefulness and sleep—where the body can rest deeply while awareness remains present. This is an opportunity to step away from the constant activity of daily life and simply experience being.   Following the journey\, participants are invited to enjoy tea and dates in a relaxed and welcoming space.

SUMMARY:gong sound bath · sound & silence
DESCRIPTION:A simple invitation to tune in — not only to sound\, but to the silence that holds it. Through waves of gong resonance\, rich overtones\, and spacious silence\, you are invited into a state of deep rest\, reflection\, and receptivity. The experience unfolds through immersive resonance and vibration\, creating space for the body to soften\, the mind to quiet\, and awareness to settle into the present moment. What reveals itself is not a destination to reach\, but an experience to be felt. Following the gong journey\, we gather for tea and dates — an opportunity to sit\, share\, connect\, or simply be.   All are welcome. No previous experience is required.
