Gong Bath Experience hosted by PACT for Autism

PACT for Autism - Gong Bath experience for PACT registered Autistic/Audhd/ ADHD adults and PACT registered parents, carers and Allies

What are Gong Baths?

Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound.

It’s referred to as a ‘bath’ due to participants being immersed in the vibrations of these instruments during a session

Using sound as a form of healing dates back to ancient cultures. Records of using gongs have surfaced from as early as ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman times.

Gongs have been used as shamanic healing tools, celebratory instruments, and a method of communication for thousands of years.
