Please  bring your own mats and blankets or sleeping bags to the venue.

“Psychedelic experience without psychedelics”.

As you lie on a mat on the floor, gongs, singing bowls, other ritual instruments and voice will be used to weave a tapestry of sound. 

The vibrations create a feeling of being 'bathed' or carried away into the space, with participants variously reporting subtle or powerful bodily sensations, a deep meditative state often accompanied by rich imagery and visions, or feeling of timeless nothingness and bliss. During the session the brainwaves are altered to the state that is self-healing, and has balancing benefits on the body and mind. Occasionally some sounds might trigger unpleasant and suppressed emotions that flow up to the surface — please accept them as a part of a healing process. In most cases the overall experience is very relaxing and ecstatic, and participants feel refreshed and recharged for a few days after the session.

Tea with lucid dreaming herbs including blue lotus will be served before and after the gong bath.

 

To get the best out of the experience:

* KEEP YOURSELF COMFY.  Bring a sleeping bag or blankets + mat/mattress to lie down on.
* COME WITH NO EXPECTATIONS and with an open mind.
* WEAR AN EYE MASK or put a scarf on your face to cover your eyes which can enhance your visual sound experience.

 

 

~ Doors open at 6.40pm. Please take your shoes off before entering the hall. 

~ Switch off your mobiles and use the toilets before the sound session begins.

~ We close the door strictly at 7.10pm. Gong sound bath lasts about 1hr30min.

~ The tea is served before and after the sound session. Optional ceremonial cocoa chocolates available for a suggested donation of £1-£2.

~ Event capacity is 60 people. If you prefer small intimate groups, try out Kat's (Sound Mysterium) sessions at her studio in Chalk Farm.

 

Facilitator: Kat Bumbul / Sound Mysterium

Kat Bumbul of Sound Mysterium has been offering gong baths in London for almost 15 years, along with tea ceremonies, retreats, tuition in sound healing and private gong, singing bowls and shamanic sessions.

As a practitioner of Siberian shamanism, Kashmiri Shaiva tantra and Dao Yin Shu, Kat incorporates her gifts and skills from these practices into the sound work to bring a healing experience to a deeper level, transforming sound bath sessions into shamanic ceremonies.

Attendees describe the experiences as "profoundly beautiful," "incredible and unique," "a sacred space to return home," and "a truly wonderful and peaceful experience." Many mention feeling deeply relaxed, rejuvenated, and transported to another state of consciousness through the expert playing of the gongs, singing bowls, and Kat's captivating vocal performances. The beautiful, atmospheric venues like the Round Chapel add to the immersive, otherworldly nature of the events, which are consistently praised as well-organized, welcoming, and highly recommended by those who have attended.

I had some weirdo nearby who kept on making strange noises and doing movements and kept moving into my space, so it was a bit strange and I couldn't really relax and drop into the experience. Venue was nice though.

It is difficult to find fault with this wonderful experience. My entire body is wracked with aching arthritis. Bathing it in the vibrations of the gongs is one of the few effective forms of relief I get. It might be conducive if, just before the gong bath begins, we could acknowledge our neighbours. Going alone can feel intimidating, especially when lots of people seem to know each other.

It was a lovely space and I felt very welcome by the host who took the trouble to smudge us all individually - unfortunately I did not have enough warm blankets so the evening was rather chilly!
