Join us for a unique overnight journey of sound, rest, and deep renewal.
A Gong Puja is an immersive sound experience in which gongs and other healing instruments are played continuously throughout the night. As you rest or sleep, waves of sound gently accompany you through different states of consciousness, supporting deep relaxation, restoration, and inner balance.
The night will start with a guided meditation accompanied by the sounds of Himalayan singing bowls and crystal bowls, helping you settle into your senses and relax — opening you more fully to the Gong Puja that follows.
The Gong Puja itself unfolds mainly through the sound of gongs, played softly and sensitively so you can drift naturally between sleep, meditation, and quiet awareness. Toward the end of the night, other carefully selected instruments — such as crystal singing bowls, monochord, shruti box, flute, and violin — gradually join the soundscape. Combined with the body’s natural regenerative processes during sleep, this can support the nervous system, helping to release tension, calm the mind, and restore vitality.
Whether you sleep deeply, dream vividly, meditate, or simply rest, the night offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and experience the restorative power of sound.
We look forward to sharing this special experience with you.
