As the festive season approaches, step away from the noise and busyness of the city and take an evening to slow down, unwind and immerse yourself in live sounds. Bringing together [ihridaya](https://www.instagram.com/ihridaya)’s gong bath and a talented guest musician, this evening is an invitation to rest, reconnect and simply be. \n \nGongs, singing bowls, ancient flutes, throat singing and traditional instruments weave together within the beautiful acoustics of this candlelit church, creating an immersive soundscape where you can lie back, close your eyes and simply listen, unwind and relax. \n \n--------- \n \nEach month features a new sound collaboration, making every gathering a unique experience.\n\nThe church’s stunning acoustics allow every note, vibration, and subtle texture of sound to come fully alive. \nWhether you’re familiar with sound baths or joining for the first time, this is an opportunity to pause, rest, and immerse yourself in an evening of beautiful live sound.\n\nWe would love to welcome you. \n \n|| THREE || \nIt is a real pleasure to share this new journey with Joe from [Sound Travels](https://www.instagram.com/sound__travels?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&vrfl=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==), whose deep connection to ancient instruments, nature and the power of vibration brings a beautiful new dimension to the sound experience. The captivating and soothing sounds of the flutes, and his remarkable throat singing, will intertwine with the deep resonance of the gongs and singing bowls, gently carrying our minds into a different state of awareness and creating a rich, immersive journey of sound and presence. \n \n**About Sound Travels:** \n \nJoe is a sound journey artist whose work is rooted in a deep, intuitive connection to the ancient language of sound. He is drawn towards the healing power of vibration and the forces of nature. he creates immersive sonic landscapes that blend traditional instruments, throat singing and sacred frequencies to invite presence, reflection, and restoration. Allowing us to drop into a place where words are no longer needed and we feel rather than think.\n\nWith a deep respect and interest for the cultural origins and history of the instruments he uses—from overtone-rich singing bowls and chimes to ancient wind instruments, shamanic frame drums and rattles, central Asian Lutes and many more— Joe approaches each sound as a living story, songs of praise to the ones who came before us who survived many hardships and used sound as a way of expressing their human experience. His exploration is both sonic and spiritual: a journey into the forgotten wisdom of rhythm, nature, resonance, and breath. When we listen/play we feel a sense of remembering something we have lost connection to. \n \n**What to expect?**\n\n**7:05-7:15pm** : Arrival and settling in. \n**7:15pm** : Doors close and the session begins promptly. \n**8:20pm** : Session ends.\n\nSimply bring a mat, blanket, eye mask and anything else you need to feel comfortable. During the experience, there's nothing you need to do but just lie back, close your eyes, and allow yourself to be carried by layers of sounds and vibrations.\n\nAs the gongs blend with a live guest instrument, waves of sound gently wash through the space, offering a soothing sonic massage for body and mind. Many people leave feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, and more connected to themselves.\n\n**IMPORTANT NOTE:** \nGong baths are not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, or for anyone with epilepsy. They are also not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy due to the sensitive nature of this stage.If you wear hearing aids, please switch them off during the session.
