We still have a few spots left for this Friday's Gong Bath with Laura Li Fong Yee! ✨

Join us for a meditative immersion in the sounds and vibrations of Gong, complemented by other healing instruments.

This Gong Sound Bath will allow your nervous system to relax and your body to experience and remember its own, natural state of healing.

The Gong is said to contain all the sounds of the Universe and heals whatever needs to be healed. Appropriate for all seeking stillness, relaxation, meditation, balance, connection, and healing of body, mind and spirit!

When I feel like a failure, I look at my plants, at how they wilt and seem to be dying, and then water and sun and my loving words bring them back to vibrancy. I let water move over me, sun change me, love reach me. I root down into the soil and back into my lineage, which reminds me that everything is temporary but nothing disappears, this is how life is. I reach forward and up, shaping a world that feels good for me, for all who look like me, for all who love like me, for all who have yet to realize that love is liberation. I let myself work through anger until all that is left is compassion. I cultivate justice within myself, rooted not in vengeance or righteousness but in love and interdependence. I work hard on answering my calling, listening to the bass notes of my life, following underground rivers to find more room for my whole self. I let my days be spent in love, connection, and creation.
