Weekend Intensive Gong Course

The two-day Gong Intensive is an immersion in the Gong teachings

for a whole weekend, open to both beginners and those who already

play a little. Our work over the two days will be structured according to

the needs of the participants. A variety of gong-related subjects will be

covered including learning and practising various playing techniques.

This is an ideal workshop for those who want to kick-start their gong

experience and begin their gong journey in the powerful gong space!

There will be plenty of opportunity to use the different high quality gongs in Steph's collection as well as other instruments used in our gong work, and students will learn how to give a simple seated gong bath. Over the two days participants will have ample opportunity to deepen their own personal experience with this powerful healing instrument.

Completion of this course enables you to join the Gong Practitioner Course at session 2.

Please let me know on booking if you have any medical conditions.

Gong Practitioner Training

The College of Sound Healing Gong Practitioner Training Course© is a CMA-certificated training programme over five weekends, over the period of one year. This comprises 70 hours formal training, plus practise, coursework, reading and mentoring in-between sessions. Completing this course gives you the information, knowledge, tools and qualification - acceptable anywhere in the world - to be a Gong Practitioner able to treat clients in a therapeutic setting both on a one-to-one basis or in groups.

The Course was written for the College by Sheila Whittaker, who is the senior College Gong tutor, and advisor to the College on all matters gong-related.

The world of the Gong and its use for healing is a fascinating and relatively little-known subject. This Course aims to bring together and impart as much relevant knowledge and wisdom, ancient and new, as is possible in the time allotted for the Course. Some of this knowledge was lost in the mists of time and has been rediscovered during the last century. The Gong teachings are extensive and need time for participants to assimilate. This is best done in a Course run over the period of a year, to allow more comfortable integration of the powerful energies involved.

Participants are guided throughout the Course by an experienced, caring, supportive tutor, and encouraged to do their own reading and studies between sessions to further promote their training. Steph only takes a certain number of students on the Course each year, so that she has the time and opportunity to mentor each one individually. Students are allotted coursework and case studies between the formal sessions to enable them to practise working with clients, thus honing their skills and techniques, and gaining confidence and expertise before they venture into the world to offer their services professionally. There is a short written exam at the end.

Doing the Course over the period of a year also enables the participants to embark on their own healing journey with the gongs - to do their own inner emotional and self development work - so that they can clear much of their own "stuff" and clear their own energy vibration before they start to treat others. This is essential when you are working in a therapeutic capacity - we need to be able to provide a strongly held safe, supportive space for our clients, and know that when the gongs inevitably do their clearing work during a gong bath, that we can be fully present to support clients in their healing process.

Each participant will need to have the use of their own gong by the 2nd weekend session.

Guidance on choice of gong will be given during Session 1.

Please let me know on booking if you have any medical conditions.
