Gong Bath – Inner Sanctuary

Inner Sanctuary is a space to step away from the busyness of daily life and be held in stillness through the immersive vibrations of the gong. Each session offers a subtle unfolding, guiding you from grounding in the body, to softening the mind, into deep rest, and towards a quiet reconnection within. Rather than doing or processing, this is an invitation to simply lie down and receive. The sound supports the nervous system to settle, helping to release accumulated tension and restore a sense of inner balance and ease. Suitable for all levels. No prior experience is needed. Venue: The Life Centre, 86 Jervois Road, Ponsonby, Auckland 1011 Duration: Tuesdays, 6:30–7:30 pm (60 mins) Dates: • 25 August • 1, 22, 29 September • 6, 13, 20, 27 October • 3, 10, 17, 24 November (Please note that there are no Gong Bath sessions on 8 & 15 September.) Pricing: $30 (individual session) What to expect: The session lasts approximately 60 minutes. We'll begin with a short welcome and introduction, followed by a brief guided moment to help you settle, set an intention, and prepare for the sound journey. You'll then be immersed in around 45 minutes of live sound, featuring a range of handcrafted gongs (24"–50") together with other therapeutic instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and gentle percussion. After the sound journey, there will be a few moments of silence to allow the vibrations to settle and integrate before you're gently guided back to the present moment, returning to a seated position feeling grounded, refreshed and relaxed.
