Gong Bath @ Stenton

Flourish through the Power of Therapeutic Sound!

Welcoming those of you who are returning for another sound session. It is wonderful to hear of your experiences and how sound had benefitted you. I love to see your progression and transformation though life. For those of you joining for the first time - welcome to you. Whether this is your first 'sound bath' or not there is always an alchemy between you and the sound. Whether July is a time for rejuvenation, energising or cleansing, therapeutic sound can offer you a space to let go of the outer world and surround yourself with soothing sounds.

With Summer energy flowing may we feel into the sensation of blooming. Whether that may be with new possibilities or in celebration of growth, or perhaps to simply be with a presence of gratitude - let us gather and steep in therapeutic sound with a cleansing blend from a sun gong and symphonic gong 7-8.30pm on Friday 4th July 2025.

Our session will begin with a gentle guided meditation using words and sounds to support our bodies, minds and senses to relax and ease tension into a comfortable position laying down (seating can be an option if required). Following this a combination of meditative sounds will combine from tsingshaws, singing bowls, shruti box, two beautifully resonating gongs, mantra and voice. This gong bath will encourage us to surrender to the continued efforts of what we cultivate for fruits to ripen and flowers to flourish.

Therapeutic sound can relieve stress, reduce tension, physical pain, help ease the mind to a point of clarity or a sense of feeling 're-set'. It is known to elevate moods to a positive state and boost general well-being. To receive the sound experience it is best to lay on the floor however if you feel this is not possible for you please let Melissa know upon booking or prior to the event:

*The event will begin at 7pm but you are welcome to arrive up to 10 minutes earlier to use the facilities, orientate or to blow up your air bed - please no earlier than this. The doors will be locked at 7.10pm so everyone has a chance to fully immerse in the experience.

* Please note that these sessions are for smaller groups of people so that there is a comfortable amount of space for you to settle into.

What do I bring? You are welcome to bring your own mat and blanket, you may wish to bring a pillow, eye-mask, thicker mat to lay on, sleeping bag, blow up bed and anything that will enhance your comfort such as a hot water bottle or hat. Wearing what you feel comfortable in is a bonus.
