🍂 Autumn Equinox Deep Gong Journey – An Overnight Immersion for Balance, Renewal & Clarity 🍂

The Autumn Equinox marks a powerful moment in the year—day and night in perfect balance, light and dark holding equal sway. It is a time for reflection, release, and setting intentions for the season ahead. If you’ve experienced the deep effects of gong meditation before, you know how sound can help you align with these cycles. Now, you are invited to go further—into a full night of transformative sound healing at this potent turning of the year.

For the first time in St Albans, leading gong practitioners and healers join forces to create an overnight sound ceremony that mirrors the balance of the equinox. Through gongs, Himalayan bowls, and percussive instruments, you’ll be guided into deep meditation, energetic clearing, and personal realignment—preparing you to step into the coming months with clarity and purpose.

We will begin in sacred silence, then journey through the rhythmic flow of the night, following the natural circadian cycle. As sound waves carry you inward, your mind will release its busyness, your body will shed what it no longer needs, and your heart will open to your next chapter. By dawn, you’ll awaken with a renewed sense of inner equilibrium, ready to walk forward in balance with the shifting season.

Why the Equinox?

The equinox is a threshold moment—perfect for letting go of old patterns and planting seeds for what you wish to grow. Sound vibration works in harmony with this energy, helping you release stagnant emotions, dissolve indecision, and find harmony between your inner and outer worlds. Just as nature readjusts, so too can you.
