DESCRIPTION:We are doing it again!! Join us for the World Gong Puja\, Septe
 mber 19 from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am\, to unite and co-create a global vibrati
 on of peace and harmony. We will gather in sacred space and experience dee
 p harmonic resonance through the continuous soft playing sounds of multipl
 e gongs.\nPlease arrive at 10:00 pm to set up your comfy bed and get orien
 ted. Opening sacred space is at 10:30 pm and the gong players will begin. 
 There are four players\, Jesse Kalapa\, Elaine Kohrman\, Kristen Loree\, a
 nd Douglas Cardwell who will take turns playing the gongs all night. Yes\,
  it's 8 hours of soft playing that induces a gentle trance state for rest 
 and sleep. At 6:30 am we greet the sunrise with a rousing gong crescendo a
 nd close the ceremony. There will be time for debrief to end at 7:00 am. 
  \nThis sacred all-night “puja” or devotional ceremony is an internat
 ional event which coincides with the International Global Gong Puja. The s
 oothing sounds of gongs induce a deep meditative state where participants 
 can sleep and drop into inner stillness. The gongs create long-sustained v
 ibrations that generate a unified field.  Immersion in these sound waves 
 over several hours creates a global reverberation that connects with other
  gong pujas around the world in a network of frequencies.\nThis event is f
 or those eager to go deep into a sacred sonic space and emerge transformed
  to sustain these vibrations in our daily lives. Let's join together to ra
 ise our vibrations and gather in global unity.  Last year’s event had o
 ver 1\,000 gong players from 83+ countries!\nContact Elaine Kohrman at  S

 s limited\, please register in advance.
