The Dunster gong bath is a group event where participants are immersed in the sounds and vibrations produced by gongs. During the gong bath, you will be greeted by healing sound practitioner, Alexandra Simson before she plays a series of gongs of different sizes and tones, producing a range of frequencies and vibrations that are said to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, induce a state of deep relaxation, and promote overall well-being. The experience can be likened to a meditative journey, with the sounds and vibrations of the gongs guiding the participant into a state of heightened awareness and relaxation. Wonderfully restorative and deeply relaxing, the experience nourishes on many levels as the sound vibrations bring the brain to a state of calm and soothes the nervous system.

The soothing vibrations of these extraordinary instruments create a profound sound healing experience giving us the chance to let go of our current situation and perhaps allow in some new consciousness or guidance. In a unique and beautiful way uncomfortable physical symptoms, old wounds, unconscious patterns, emotional blocks - some we didn't know we had can be dislodged, released and cleansed.

"Alexandra is a highly experienced, sensitive and intuitive practitioner. We had never experienced a gong bath before and this was an amazing day. We came away feeling completely relaxed and “ in tune”. It is extremely healing and beautiful and we would recommend it to anyone, for any reason."

Not to put you off...

Gong baths are not suitable for anyone whose had major surgery in the last 6 weeks, who suffers from fits (epileptics), or is extremely sensitive to sound. They are also not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy due to the unstable nature of pregnancy during that time. If you wear a hearing aid, your device should be turned off during the session. If you have any concerns, please speak with your doctor in advance.
