What is coming up
Everything on the calendar is on this page. Gatherings run around the Phoenix area most months and most of them are about ninety minutes. No experience is needed, and nobody is watching you.

Sunday, August 23. 10:00 to 11:30am. Abundant Space, Scottsdale. $44.
A Sunday morning of communal sound. We gather around the gong not to be healed, but to harmonize. Body, mind, and community. The studio provides mats, blankets and bolsters. No experience needed.
Saturday, September 5. 5:00 to 6:30pm. Namaste Yoga. $55.
An evening built to settle the nervous system. Guided meditation, then gong, flutes, voice and world instruments. Part musical journey, part gong meditation. Bring a blanket or bolster if you want the extra comfort.
Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20. 9:30am to 5:00pm both days. My place in New River. Sliding scale, $333, $444 or $555.
Two days of playing together, built around the gong and the power of overtones. I will be teaching advanced gong playing throughout, in a way meant to be accessible to everyone in the room, and around that there is a song circle, cymatics, time with the newest instruments in the field, and the kind of conversation about sound that practitioners rarely get to have with each other. Eight places, and my online sound course comes with every one of them, so it is open to beginners and to people who have been playing for years.
September 17, October 8, November 11, December 9. 6:00 to 7:30pm. Abundant Space.
A monthly evening around the gong, running through the fall. Same room, same hour, once a month. Come to one or come to all four.
Dates are added as venues confirm them.
Separate from the gatherings, and run on their own schedule. If you want to play these instruments rather than lie down under them, this is the way in.
Level I. Thirty two hours in person, across two weekends, at my place in New River. Hands on the instruments the whole time, in a small group.
Level II, for people who have finished Level I and are already playing for others. Forty hours, capped at eight people.
Over 20 hours of self paced video, at your own speed. A reasonable way to find out whether this is for you before committing a weekend to it.
Dates for both in person trainings are announced as they are set, and go out by email first.
Gatherings, training dates and the occasional piece of writing. Venues confirm on their own schedule, so the list on this page is always a little behind what I know.
If you have never been to one, sound meditation covers what actually happens in the room.
