—————

Join Phoenyx for an evening of deep relaxation, meditation, and heart-centered healing through the transformative power of sound.

Inspired by the Buddhist practice of Metta (Loving-Kindness Meditation), this unique gong journey invites participants to cultivate compassion and goodwill toward themselves, their loved ones, those with whom they experience difficulty, and ultimately all beings everywhere.

Beginning with a guided meditation, participants will be gently led through a series of loving-kindness reflections and intentions, including wishes for safety, peace, healing, ease, compassion, and awakening. As the resonant vibrations of the gongs unfold, these intentions are carried into a deeply restorative meditative experience that supports nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and a profound sense of connection. The evening concludes with time for quiet reflection, journaling, and optional sharing.
