On 15, 16 & 17 December, we will organise a Gong Weekend at the beautiful Venwoude location in Lage Vuursche.

In this weekend we will teach you practical work with the gong, gong techniques, the history of the gong, building a gong bath and meditating with the gong.

You will then be expected in the Pyramid at Venwoude on Friday 15 December at 10.30 am at the latest and this is until Sunday morning 11.00 am. It is also possible to stay overnight at Venwoude, this then only concerns the overnight stay from Friday to Saturday. The costs for a single room are €45 and for a double room €35 per person.
Gongbad
A gong bath can provide a mystical experience expressed through the energy of the many harmonic vibrations that work their way through the nervous system. The body and mind are opened, emptied and recharged. Any sense of separation from other people and nature disappears. Anything that causes conflict disappears and it makes us feel part of the Universe. The mental, emotional and physical bodies become super conductive and super regenerative, making the usual resistance of the ego completely disappear and bringing us back to our Stillness.
You don't need to bring a mat for the Gong bath but you do need to bring a pillow and possibly a blanket.
Sound Yoga
Sound healing is based on the principle that everything, including our bodies, consists of vibration. Like a tuned instrument, the body is a harmonious entity unless the vibrational field is disturbed.
Through Sound Yoga, stuck layers, on a physical, mental and emotional level, can be released. Thus, feeling and intuition are purified and our actions become responsive in the Now rather than reactive from the past. Sound Yoga includes breathing techniques, meditation techniques and movement teaching with sound.
Full Moon Himalayan singing bowls workshop
In this workshop, we will use Full Moon Himalayan singing bowls. These bowls are made exclusively at full moon and in a Buddhist rite. We at Spirit Connection are the exclusive dealer of these bowls.
This afternoon is dedicated to working in practice with 4 attuned Full Moon Himalayan bowls both on and around the body. We learn to tune ourselves into clarity through these singing bowls. In practice, a setup like this has been shown to help with stress, tension, headaches, migraines, poor sleep, depression, pain, it increases energy, dissolves emotional and mental blockages and provides a better connection with your heart and soul.
Gongpuja
What is a Gongpuja?
You have to imagine the room being filled with about 20 gongs arranged in a vortex. Around this vortex, people lie sleeping or meditating an entire night in the sounds of the gongs. An "all night Gong Puja" is a journey through space in the Silence of who you are. Space is filled by multifying layers of overtones created by the gongs. It is an experience beyond all expectations. It is a ceremony of cleansing, regeneration, rejuvenation and insight - a process that takes about 6.5 hours in total. A Gongpuja involves playing at a volume at which you can sleep and/or meditate. Anyone participating in this evening/night is encouraged to participate fully in the Puja by taking turns playing the gong for the group or simply disappearing into the experience.
What should you bring?
Bring your own bottle of water, a duvet or sleeping bag and a pillow for a comfortable night. Think about comfortable clothes. Mattresses are provided there.
