A journey inwards through sound.
On the floodplains of the old Meuse river bordering De Keent nature reserve, you will find our sound chapel. A lovely serene environment to come home to and feel at home in. We will now give our gong retreat here for the first time.
The power of sound
In sound, we meet and are together. The personal dissolves into impersonal awareness in which the spontaneous, unique moment unfolds.
What can you expect?
With everything we do, the meditative quality of sound is central. Always tuning into silence. You will learn about the underlying meaning of gong and gong baths. You will play and listen to gongs, crystal singing bowls, Himalayan singing bowls and other overtone instruments yourself. You will learn to give your own sound baths, gong and sound meditations and play in groups.
You will also meditate on sound and learn to tune yourself to and with the gong.
During the retreat, we regularly do light Pranayama and Qi Gong exercises.
CEREMONIES
A programme component is a ceremony in which you play the gong with 'facing your inner child' as an intention.
And as a finale, we do the nightly gongpuja. A ritual where we spend 7.5 hours together during the night. The gongs are played non-stop in rotation by the participants. In addition, you lie down to sleep and/or meditate. Due to the duration of the puja, a complete reset of body-mind follows. The mental, emotional and physical becomes super-conductive, causing the ego's usual resistance to dissolve into unconditional being. A beautifully purifying experience as a finale.
For whom.
For advanced and beginners seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and immerse themselves in pure awareness through sound. Giving and receiving are central.
There is a lot of playing and training in pure, impersonal listening, playing and feeling. This is an important part of being able to give and receive so unconditionally. The invitation is in pure awareness (consciousness, presence) to let the play unfold.
