COST : £205 incl 2 nights accommodation and food

VENUE : Primrose Haven, Primrose Haven, Felindre, Brecon, Powys, LD3 0ST

DETAILS : The weekend will integrate the healing power of nature into our healing voice work. We will work with the sounding traditions of people that lived close to nature and used sound to deepen their connection with their environment. Primrose Haven contains many beautiful gardens and natural spaces. The retreat will be held in the Sound Peace Chamber, the Celtic Roundhouse and in some outside spaces such as the Peace Garden, the Stone Circle with the four directions and elements, the Emissary Wheel and beside a mountain stream in the nearby woods. We will explore some of the deeper healing potential of nature and use sound to connect with this, which will encourage a sense of belonging within us.

We will gain an understanding of the qualities of the elements - fire, water, earth and air - and explore our relationships to them and the way they influence our lives.

We will demonstrate the ways that sound can be used to heal ourselves and others and the healing power of sound in nature. Nature can provide a very supportive environment in which to release pain and disharmony through sound. We will work with this potential on an individual and group level.

We will share our experience of the Damanhur projects of the Music of the Plants and Orienting Trees to help raise the global network of tree consciousness.

GONG BATH MEDITATION

DATE : Approximately 3-4 times per month

TIME : 20:00 to 21:30

COST : £15, some concessions available

VENUE : The Sand & Sound Centre, Wren Nest Business Centre, Glossop, Derbyshire, SK13 8HB

DETAILS : Experience the profound healing and deep relaxation with the sounds of the gongs and other percussion instruments, in this sound meditation with Masha at The Sand & Sound Centre in Glossop, occasionally at other venues.

WHAT TO BRING

Bring something comfortable to lie on (sleeping bag, folded up duvet etc), a blanket and a pillow, so that you can make a cosy "nest" for yourself, which will help you feel relaxed and enjoy the beautiful healing sounds. It helps to have a bottle of water with you, as we need to be well-hydrated, especially after the session, in order to get the full benefits from the healing sounds.

BEFORE AND AFTER

It is best not to have any alcohol or any other mind-altering substances for 24 hours before and 24 hours after the gong bath. Try not to schedule any other appointments or tasks immediately after the gong bath meditation, as it is best to take it easy if you can, since the healing effects continue for some time afterwards.

FEEDBACK

Examples of feedback from previous gong bath participants:

"My first ‘gong bath’ experience - I had no idea what to expect but this was the most special, beautiful and relaxing way to see in the Spring Equinox."

"An amazing out of this world session."

"The most beautiful session to experience with Masha. Deeply relaxing and a great spiritual journey to an improved sense of health, wellbeing and connection. Such gorgeous sounds reverberated through my whole body and filled me with a sense of calm and stillness."

"For me Masha's Gong Bath Meditations have been like a rapid track into a very deep meditative state. I do not experience this depth as soon through other practices. I love it and I will be back."

COVID PRECAUTIONS

Whilst face-to-face events have now resumed, these may have to be cancelled at short notice if local guidelines change. All appropriate safety precautions are in place at the venue.

TO BOOK : Advance booking is essential. Contact Masha by email at masha@practicalhappiness.co.uk

GONG PRACTITIONER TRAINING COURSE - LEVEL ONE

DATE : Saturday 28th May 2022 - Sunday 29th May 2022

TIME : 10am to 5pm

COST : £220.00

VENUE : Turiya Yoga Studio, Trefonen Rd, Oswestry, Shropshire, SY10 9AT

DETAILS : The College of Sound Healing Gong Practitioner Training Course© is a CMA-certificated training programme over five weekends, over the period of one year. This comprises 70 hours formal training, plus practise, coursework, reading and mentoring in-between sessions. Completing this course gives you the information, knowledge, tools and qualification - acceptable anywhere in the world - to be a Gong Practitioner able to treat clients in a therapeutic setting both on a one-to-one basis or in groups.

The Course was written for the College by Sheila Whittaker, who is the senior College Gong tutor, and advisor to the College on all matters gong-related. ​

The world of the Gong and its use for healing is a fascinating and relatively little-known subject. This Course aims to bring together and impart as much relevant knowledge and wisdom, ancient and new, as is possible in the time allotted for the Course. Some of this knowledge was lost in the mists of time and has been rediscovered during the last century. The Gong teachings are extensive and need time for participants to assimilate. This is best done in a Course run over the period of a year, to allow more comfortable integration of the powerful energies involved.

Participants are guided throughout the Course by an experienced, caring, supportive tutor, and encouraged to do their own reading and studies between sessions to further promote their training. Steph only takes a certain number of students on the Course each year, so that she has the time and opportunity to mentor each one individually. Students are allotted coursework and case studies between the formal sessions to enable them to practise working with clients, thus honing their skills and techniques, and gaining confidence and expertise before they venture into the world to offer their services professionally. There is a short written exam at the end.

Doing the Course over the period of a year also enables the participants to embark on their own healing journey with the gongs - to do their own inner emotional and self development work - so that they can clear much of their own "stuff" and clear their own energy vibration before they start to treat others. This is essential when you are working in a therapeutic capacity - we need to be able to provide a strongly held safe, supportive space for our clients, and know that when the gongs inevitably do their clearing work during a gong bath, that we can be fully present to support clients in their healing process.

Each participant will need to have the use of their own gong by the 2nd weekend session.

Guidance on choice of gong will be given during Session 1.

Alexandra is a really suitable and passionate teacher, and I will recommend her to anyone who is interested in pursuing the same path in life." - Tony

"I left your course with an excellent practical understanding of how to be a sound healing/voice practitioner, from advertising myself as a therapist to how an actual treatment session works. The reading and assignments you set gave me a solid grounding in the theory behind sound therapy and gave me great tools for speaking with clients (potential and actual) about how and why sound can help them.
