Location TBC - Camberwell
Overview
Join The Black Wellbeing Collective for an hour of a Gong Bath & Meditation experience! Take a pause, relax and unwind to sound healing.
How does sound healing work?
Stress reduction is one of the most important results of receiving sound therapy. It is the underlying cause of many physical conditions and it melts away with ease when you are bathed in the ocean of sound healing vibrations.
Every sound is a vibration and this vibration touches each and every cell of our body. We perceive sound with our ears, but also with other cells in our body.
Important notes:
The event will feature use of a gong which can be felt quite deeply for some individuals. The gong can for some be audibly intense so we advise those who use hearing devices to consider how volume and frequencies may interact with your devices. For those with auditory sensitivity, you are also welcome to wear ear coverings/earbuds if this helps you to mute the sound a bit. If you have questions or concerns about accessibility and your experience participating please email z.campbell@su.arts.ac.uk by the 8th January.
Yoga mats will be provided and we recommend wearing something comfortable and warm as you will be laying/sitting on the floor (if this is not accessible you are welcome to participate with a wheelchair or using a chair provided in the space). Some people may want to bring a pillow or hoodie to rest their head on, and a scarf or blanket to cover their body.

Gong
As many of us do not practice meditation daily, Sound healing goes straight to source. The frequency of vibration tunes the brain into the state of meditation by accessing the alpha or in a Delta brain waves.
