Feeling overwhelmed, tense, or energetically heavy lately? With everything happening in the world right now — socially, politically, and personally — many of us are carrying more tension than we realize. These are the times that it becomes even more important to create space to rest, process, and reconnect. When we take time to regulate, replenish, and release what we’ve been holding, we show up more grounded—for ourselves, our loved ones, and our wider community.
This experience is designed to support exactly that. Please join us for this special evening of deep release, nervous system reset, and immersive sound meditation.
After a brief introduction and guided meditation, Phoenyx will lead an intense ~60-minute gong sound immersion, using two powerful gongs and gentle Koshi chimes to guide you into a deeply meditative, restorative state. The session will close with optional time for journaling and group reflection.
Unlike many sound baths, this journey includes periods of strong, immersive, and at times loud gong playing. These powerful waves of sound can help clear stagnant energy, unlock emotional release, and shift the body into theta brainwave states associated with deep relaxation, insight, and healing.
Gongs can evoke a wide range of experiences—physical sensations, emotional release, imagery, or stillness. At times, this intensity may feel activating. Participants are encouraged to allow whatever arises, while staying connected to their breath and body. You are always welcome to adjust your position, use grounding techniques, or step out if needed. Earplugs will be available for those who are sensitive to sound.
Come as you are. Leave lighter, clearer, and more connected.
