EVENTS

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.

HAPPENING NOW

Upcoming gatherings

Flier for the Gong Gathering with Hamid Jabbar, Thursday September 17, 6:00 to 7:30pm at Abundant Space in Scottsdale, Arizona, $44

Gong Gathering

Thursday, September 17. 6:00 to 7:30pm. Abundant Space, Scottsdale. $44 suggested. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds.

Come gather around the gong in community. An evening of sound meditation and music: the gong and the instruments played alongside it, used to help you balance and integrate.

Flier for the Beyond Gong weekend, Saturday and Sunday September 19 and 20, 9:30am to 5pm, New River, Arizona

Beyond Gong

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.

Flier for the fall sound events series

Fall Sound Events

September 17, October 8, November 11, December 9. 6:00 to 7:30pm. Abundant Space. $44. Registration is open for September 17.

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.

LEARN TO PLAY

The trainings

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.

Sound Practitioner Training

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.

Advanced Sound Practitioner Training

Level II, for people who have finished Level I and are already playing for others. Forty hours, capped at eight people.

Online course

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.

NEW DATES

Dates go out by email before they go up here

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.
