Cowdray Hall

Rebalance yourself with soundListen to the calming sounds of a variety of gongs, singing bowls and gentle percussion in a therapeutic sonic experience for relaxation and well-being.I choose beautiful and inspiring locations to add to the overall experience to make every event immersive and memorable. I play in a sensitive and and intricate manner using a range of multi-sensory techniques to providing a different and personal approach, allowing for a deep level of meditation and connection with sound.Sound and well-beingIts important to make time for ourselves, and to look after our wellbeing. These sessions use a range of large gongs, played in a gentle and sensitive manner to help achieve a deep sense of relaxation and meditation which can help to restore the mind and body back to equilibrium.What to expectYou will rest comfortably on the floor and listen to the sounds. You are not expected to do anything physically active. The session is aimed at relaxation and rest. Participants normally stay awake but reach a deep dreamlike state which can be extremely therapeutic for both the mind and body. I normally bring 3-4 large gongs, and 10-20 singing bowls, long with other gentle percussion, chimes and other instruments. The instruments vary with each session.No previous experience is needed, and all will be explained before the session.Sound JourneyThe term refers to a deeper level of relaxation and meditation using therapeutic sound. The gongs are an integral part of this experience and the way they are played in a sensitive manner also adds to the overall effect.What to bringPlease bring a mat (yoga mat/camping mat etc), one or two blankets, a pillow, eye covering and a bottle of water.I do have spare mats available if requested in advance.Benefits of Sound therapySound therapy can have a wide range of health benefits.
