Sound Meditation with gong and tibetan singing bowls
with dominika baran & dariusz zaczkowski
When: every 1st Friday of the month | 7 – 8 pm
Price: £15 | per person
Experience the universal sound of the gong and Tibetan singing bowls. Allow the sounds to take you into a state of peaceful meditation and let it touch you deeply at a cellular level. Let go of any expectations and experience total relaxation and connection with the Sounds of the Universe.
• Strengthens self-confidence, creativity and motivation
• Stress reduction through deep relaxation and endorphin release
• Promotes deeper sleep
• Activates self-healing mechanisms within the body
The gentle and harmonious sounds of gong and Tibetan singing bowls are absorbed through the ear and quickly lead to deep, long lasting relaxation. The rhythmic sound vibrations are transmitted to the body. Sound massage creates an atmosphere of safety and security, in which it is possible to let go of stress, anxiety, worry. In this soothing atmosphere, we can again come in contact with our needs, our “inner wisdom”.
Dominika has played Gongs and Tibetan singing bowls for many years, being inspired by Gong master Don Conreaux. It is her passion to promote harmony and unity using natural mandala.
Dariusz is a multi-instrumentalist. He studied at Peter Hass Institute of Sound Healing. www.gayasound.com

gong bath with gordon coxon
every other thursday | 6:30-7:30pm
What is a Gong Bath?
In a gong bath the body is literally ‘bathed in sound’, promoting a deep sense of well being and inner peace. The sound of the gong has the effect of timelessness – and of de-materialisation. People often have the experience of floating in space, or in an ocean; some have inspiring visions, or see colours.
More than a musical instrument, the gong is a conduit for vibrational waves of energy, releasing reverberating tones of great fullness and resonance that interact with the human body on a very deep, even cellular level. The gong facilitates deep meditation; it can open all the chakras and enable healing to more readily occur as the body concentrates on drawing in the sounds it needs to re-align and harmonise itself.
And the silence which settles when the gong bath ends is often very profound. Most people emerge from a gong bath feeling extremely relaxed, re-energised and refreshed. The aura, nerve and immune systems seem strengthened and the inner voice of higher consciousness more easily heard.
‘Feel the gong’s pulsations and let the millions of vibrations dance and flow through your senses. You will become fearless, relaxed and awakened.’ – Yogi Bhajan
Gordon Coxon spent the early part of his musical career working with such luminaries as the mime artist Lindsay Kemp, the Velvet Underground’s John Cale and punk star Toyah Wilcox. He later ran an improvising electronic jazz combo, the Space Cadets, and, more recently, began composing and recording music incorporating the sounds of nature, notably birdsong, along with devotional material such as Shamanic poetry and Buddhist chant.
Gordon was drawn to the gong several years ago through a deepening involvement in yoga and meditation and it has since become his main sphere of interest. He studies with Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux – the world’s foremost authority on the gong – and offers gong baths regularly in group sessions and on a one-to-one basis in Brighton and London. He currently employs a beautiful 32 inch Paiste symphonic gong, a 28 inch Chinese wind gong, temple cymbals and chimes.
Availability: Limited to 12 people (please register). In 2011, the Gong Bath will take place every other Thursday. Upcoming: 27/10 | 10/11, 24/11 | 8/12, 22/12
