MORNING GONG SURRENDER with Lea Garnier & Special guests
“No one can resist the power of a gong played well” Baba Don Conreaux
A tone of fullness, when suspended in acoustic space, feeds back upon itself. This looping of sound volume is called nesting, and it finds its center of balance in 4th dimensional space, in a non-dimension of No Time. Any sound that is "fattened," made fuller and suspended in time, takes on a more holistic quality of resonance, continuously spilling more of itself into the acoustic volume of space until it attains its fullness potential.
Bathing in this space, the overtones of the gongs feed us until we reach a state of Holistic Resonance. We can sense the feeling of our own body transform into a feeling of no body as we surrender to the gongs and allow them to do their work. There is a paranormal sense of levitation, timelessness and bliss that can be experienced, along with a consciousness of detachment, compassion and peace.
Saturday August 1st ~ 7pm to 8:30pm
FULL MOON CRYSTAL SOUND HEALING CEREMONY WITH PYRAMIDS AND SINGING BOWLS with Lea Garnier & Scott Williams
The sound of Crystal Singing induces deep cellular healing within the meditation state. Crystal vibrations reduce stress, reconnects us to our higher spirit, massages the body, and also helps to restore balance, and helps to align our mind-heart-cosmic connection. Scientifically, there is proof that crystal sound waves can re-pattern our cellular structure.
The pyramid form is a statement of perfection and balance. It is one of the highest geometrical shapes found on the physical plane. It represents conscious connection with the infinite source of energy at the apex, and complete groundedness and physical stability at the base. They are symbolic of the ultimate balance that each soul must achieve to complete its evolutionary process.
Sunday August 2nd ~ 11:00am to 12:30pm
MORNING SOUND BATH TUNE UP!
Our body is a divine instrument that dances us through our life experience. We come in and out of tune moment by moment. Also known as neural coherence, we have the opportunity of being "in tune" after experiencing the therapeutic sound bath.
Allow yourself to enter a timeless space of listening as we weave all our sacred sounds together. Gongs, Bells, Dulcimer, flutes, crystal and more!!. Deep listening leads to the experience of sonic bliss; a deep and lasting vibrational rejuvenation for body and soul; a profound aesthetic experience; and a journey through the senses. Allow yourself to be still, listen and heal.
