Festival of Lights: Gong Bath

Take some time out of your day, destress and relax your mind and body with a candlelit gong bath.

A gong bath – also known as a sound bath or gong meditation – offers you the opportunity to relax and revitalise as you listen to the playing of a gong. Little effort is required – all you need to do is lie comfortably on a mat or sit in a chair and listen to and feel the sound and vibrations.

The event is free, although places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are asked to stay for the entire session to get the most out of it, and to avoid disturbing others.

Mats, blankets and cushions are provided. You can just wear your ordinary clothing.

Gong baths are not recommended for women in their first trimester of pregnancy, those with a pacemaker or anyone with epilepsy.
