Gong Sound Bath

Join us at Lynn Valley United Church for an immersive Gong Sound Bath, facilitated by Aravind Vanchesan of Theta Space.

This 75-minute gong meditation is designed to help you shift out of the pace of the day and into a deeper state of rest. No prior experience is needed; simply lie down or sit comfortably and let the sound do its healing work. Participants are encourage to bring blankets as pillows to assist in comfort during this exercise.

This deeply restorative session will begin with arrival and grounding to help you settle into the space, followed by intention setting to consciously arrive and let the day go, guided breathwork to down-regulate the nervous system, a full-spectrum gong sound immersion for deep rest and inner stillness, and finally a quiet closing to integrate before re-entering the evening.

The experience offers gong sound immersion using large, high-quality gongs, including two massive 38-inch sun gongs. The layered resonance of the gongs creates a surrounding “sound envelope” that many people experience as timeless, floating, or spacious, allowing the mind to quiet and the body to rest deeply.

Each sound journey is unique and unfolds organically in the moment.

Who this is for:

- Anyone feeling busy, overstimulated, or tense
- Those looking for a non-effortful way to meditate
- Experienced meditators seeking deeper rest and integration
- First-timers curious about sound meditation

What to bring:

- Yoga mat
- Pillow/blanket
- Water
- Eye mask (optional)
