Ana Raika will be facilitating a Gong Bath alongside Mary-Lynne co-facilitating sound with Crystal Tones® Alchemy Singing Bowls. This event is timed to be on Wesak in alignment with other gong baths around the world! During Wesak, Buddhists celebrate the life of the Buddha and his teachings. They remember the night of his enlightenment as well as his revelations about the nature of death, karma and rebirth, suffering and desire.

Holding space for deep rest and reconnection through the healing vibrations of the gong, layered frequencies interact with your brainwaves, gently encouraging a shift from the busy beta state into slower alpha and theta states associated with meditation, creativity, and deep healing. This process, known as brainwave entrainment, supports your body’s natural ability to restore and reset. As we settle into stillness, the gongs will do more than create music — they will create movement.

Sound vibrations will help to calm the nervous system, release held tension, and invite you into a space between waking and dreaming, where insight and renewal can quietly arise. Every session is different, but the intention is always the same: to bring you back into balance.

No prior experience is needed. Just come as you are — and let the sound guide you home.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring water to hydrate after. If you are attending in-person, everything you need will be provided for you (mats to lie on, blankets, and eye covers). If you are joining us virtually, we recommend using headphones for the best experience.

Events are offered both in-person in Richmond VA and virtually on Zoom. We have space for a limited number of people in person and plenty of spots online! If you would like to be in person and we appear sold out, please contact us.

Sliding scale pricing means that we are offering the same experience in a class, event, or session at multiple price points. Learn more about our sliding scale model here. Choose the price tier that best fits your financial needs at this time, based on your income level and circumstances.
