This special evening will fill the Van Houtenkerk in Weesp with the sounds of gongs, crystal and metal singing bowls, overtone instruments, trumpet, organ, vocals and soundscapes. Your attention will fill with all kinds of timbres and you will find that the harmonic vibrations begin to resonate through the nervous system into your body and mind. As you pass your ego resistances and surrender to this, your field of attention fills up, leaving no room for your thinking and it falls silent. Body awareness also dissolves and the sense of separateness from other people and the world outside you disappears. This can cause a mystical experience where you feel at one with the universe again.
You are among the performing musicians making the experience even more direct and making it easier to lose yourself and relax in the sound of timeless silence and body and mind can recharge energetically.
For this evening, we have invited a number of inspired musicians:
Aleksandra Anisimowicz - soprano
Michael Telapary - Indian whistle
Fons Brouwer - organ
Frans de Rond - soundscapes
Michael van Polen - percussion
Spirit Connection - gongs and overtone instruments
Longer than you are used to, this reclining concert will last an hour and a half. Don't forget to bring mat, pillow and blanket so you can lie back and relax.
The cost for this Sound Experience Gong bath is €32.50 p.p. For those unable to lie down, it is always possible to attend this concert seated. This gong bath will be held at the Van Houtenkerk on Oude Gracht 69 in Weesp and starts at 20.00.
