Michael Bettine - Gongtopia - Gong Meditation

About this event

Gongtpia with Michael Bettine -

The Gong Meditation is so much more than just gongs. It’s gongs, singing bowls, bells and other percussion instruments, combined into a pulsating soundscape that is designed to help you slow down and invite stillness within. There’s no hurry, no destination—only the breath and being in the moment. The vibrations can help with stress, fatigue, depression, anger and blocked energy. This is personal self-care.

Performer, composer, and educator Michael Bettine has spent most of his life exploring sounds. Along the way, he has collected more than 400 percussion instruments, including over 130 gongs. He adeptly combines them to construct soundscapes that are “fascinating and inspiring” (Modern Drummer), "creating a shifting wall of sound" (Real Time Arts). As a writer, his latest books are ’The Way of the Gong’, ‘Art as a Spiritual Practice’ and his newly released 'The Sound of Being'. He has released over 60 recordings and maintains a busy schedule performing and teaching in both the USA and Europe.

Space is Limited, and there will be 16 Zero-Gravity chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you choose to sit on the floor during the event, please feel free to bring a small poof or floor mat. We're looking forward to seeing you there.
