Gongs in the Yurt: The final stretch of winter's stillness

In the final stretch of winter’s stillness, join me for an evening of gongs in the yurt. The fire will be glowing, the space warm and calm, allowing you to settle into your cosy nest of blankets and cushions. As the night gathers round, the gongs will begin their slow, soothing song, inviting you to leave the world outside behind, and rest deeply.

Lie back and let the sound carry you into stillness. This is a space to simply be - to breathe, release, and let the sound do the work. A moment to pause, soften, and restore your inner calm.

Why come?

As winter lingers and the darkness perhaps feels long, this evening is an invitation to pause. To rest in a space where nothing is asked of you. To be held in warmth and safety, soothed by the resonance of the gongs.

The vibrations help the body unwind and the mind quieten - a balm for those carrying the noise of busy lives or tender hearts. My intent is that you’ll leave feeling lighter, softer, and more connected to yourself, refreshed in that quiet, wordless way that deep rest can bring.

What to Expect:

An immersive Gong bath, soothing your senses with therapeutic vibrations to release tension and invite stillness.

What to Bring:

Cosy layers, blankets, cushions or pillows - anything that helps you feel comfortable and supported. Yoga mats and bolsters are provided. You’ll be lying or sitting for around 60 minutes, so please think comfort: bring extra padding, a thicker mat, or even an airbed, folding recliner, or sun lounger if you prefer. You’re also welcome to bring and sit on a camping or folding chair.

An eye mask to help you further switch off. Water to drink at the conclusion of the session.

If you need any additional consideration to fully take part, please let Lydia know - your comfort and inclusion are important.

Important notice

Taking part in gong baths is generally considered safe for most people, regardless of age or fitness level. However, considerations should be taken for the following people:

• Mental health conditions - People with severe mental health conditions, such as paranoid schizophrenia, severe personality disorder, or psychosis, should not participate in gong baths. If you have PTSD or trauma that may need to be considered, please also make contact so that we can discuss any further support needed.

• Pregnancy - Individuals who are pregnant in the first trimester should not participate in gong baths. Caution should also be taken during other trimesters as studies have not been undertaken on pregnant women. If you are pregnant and want to participate, please talk with a healthcare professional to make sure they’re a safe option for you and then let me know of any considerations that need to be followed.

• Epilepsy or seizures - People with epilepsy or a history of seizures should not participate in gong baths.

• Hearing impairments - People with hearing impairments may still be able to participate in a gong bath, but the experience may not be comfortable. Caution should be taken with tinnitus. However, by sitting further away from the Gongs and wearing ear plugs, the vibrations may still be felt and the experience enjoyed. It is advised that hearing aids are removed as the higher pitched tones can interfere.

• Sensitivity to sound - People who are sensitive to sound including individuals with Ménière’s disease may experience discomfort or agitation during a gong bath. Caution is advised. Please talk with a healthcare professional to make sure they’re a safe option for you and then let me know of any considerations that need to be followed.

• Metal implants - Caution should be taken by people with metal devices in their body, such as a pacemaker, coronary shunt, artificial heart valves, or metal pins or staples as discomfort may be experienced. It is recommended that it be a minimum of 12 weeks post surgery and that if you are concerned or are unsure whether you should attend that medical advice be sought. During a group Gong session, the vibrations are not directed at specific body locations and so the impact will be indirect, however discomfort could still be experienced. It is recommended to sit further away from the Gongs initially.

Ultimately, individuals should listen to their bodies and consult with their healthcare provider if they have any concerns or underlying health condition before participating in a Gong bath.
