Psychedelic Gong Bath (Round Chapel)

Please wear warm clothes and bring your own mats and sleeping bags/duvets/blankets 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. Ceremonial cacao chocolates will be available for a donation of £2-£3 (bring some cash please).

To get the best out of the experience:

* KEEP YOURSELF WARM & COMFY. The venue is an old church. Bring a sleeping bag/duvet/warm blankets + mat/mattress to lie down on. Wear thick socks and warm clothes.
* 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 from 7pm. Please take your shoes off before entering the hall, and place your mats in tidy concentric circles around the centre. 

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

~ We close the door strictly at 7.30pm. 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 £2-£3.

~ Event capacity is 90 people. If you prefer small intimate groups, try out Kat's (Sound Mysterium) sessions at her studio in Chalk Farm.
