"After five minutes of Conreaux playing, I was hooked. Not only did I feel deeply relaxed, but my hands felt on fire, red hot and full of energy. At one point, it actually felt as though my body were being lifted off the ground by the sheer force of these great waves of sound, and afterwards I felt I could run a mile." The Sunday Times, 10 August 1997

The primordial resonance of the gong has tremendous power for healing and uplitment and spiritual awakening, and today is an opportunity to study it with Don Conreaux-probably the world's leading exponent.

Tibetan monks and the Chinese have been using gongs to aid meditation for centuries. You don't even need to be able to hear: even the deaf benefit from the gong, as its powerful vibrations transcend the power of physical hearing.

Today you will experience the in-depth healing power of a gong bath, and learn techniques for emotional stress release, chakra alignment, and yoga breath exercise. In this hands-on workshop you will learn the skill of a healing tone artist using the bronze gong, singing bowl, sacred blowing conch, and vocal overtoning and acquaint yourself with the gong's esoteric and mystical origins as well as present day applications.

Don will be joined by singing bowl master Aidan McIntyre.

For the past 30 years, Don Conreaux has brought the mystical and entertaining sounds of the ancient bronze gong (tam tam), bells, bell bowls, shofar and spiral sea horn (conch) to millions of listeners around the world. He has appeared many times on television and radio as a performing artist. He has two degrees in theatre arts and has worked throughout his career in film and television; he was an actor, writer, and director in Hollywood before arriving in New York in 1984. He is a genuine Gongmaster, as well as artistic director of The Mysterious Tremendium Consort and School of Sacred Sound. He promotes the gong as a means of stress reduction and subsequent healing, and also sees tone vibration as a tool for expanding awareness and global unity. www.holistic-resonance.com
