Discover the transformative effects of sound therapy with this 1-hour gong bath experience.

During this session, participants will be surrounded by the resonant vibrations of gongs, carefully designed to induce deep states of relaxation and calm. As you settle into the experience, allow the soothing tones to wash over you, releasing tension and promoting a sense of inner peace.

Scientific studies have highlighted the benefits of sound therapy, particularly gong baths, in reducing stress and promoting overall well-being. The rhythmic patterns and frequencies of the gongs can help entrain brainwaves, leading to a meditative state and improved mental clarity.

Beyond the immediate effects, many participants report experiencing lasting benefits such as improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and enhanced mood following a gong bath session. By immersing yourself in the healing vibrations of the gongs, you can tap into a deeper sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or explore new avenues of self-care, our 1-hour gong bath offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with yourself and find balance amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. There will be cups of tea available afterwards to help us integrate and ground

**THIS EVENT IS RESTRICTED TO 15 PEOPLE ONLY**

From an article in Wellington media about Erika:

Erika Grant is many things: a multi-talented musician, a music teacher, an astrologer, a float facilitator and has just added to her quiver of sonic talents a purveyor and creator of gong baths. She is interested in, amongst many things, how deep relaxation, rest, spirituality and music intersect.

She has played with a myriad of bands in all sorts of guises, to name just two Cookie Brooklyn and the Crumbs and the marvellous Orchestra of spheres. She has also performed in many festivals both here and abroad, such as the Fertility Festival, and has made multiple live soundtracks for the Wellington Film Society, including the recent live soundtrack screening of the F.W. Murnau 1926 black and white movie classic masterpiece Faust. She graduated from the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand and was awarded the 2009 Chapman Tripp award for outstanding music composers.
