TESTIMONIALS 

"I knew the value of sound through chanting and mantras. Now I take away the incredible impact that sound can have on the body and mind. I experienced a deep state of calm. I would like to add this into future yoga and yoga therapy sessions"

"I attended the Gong Discovery Day with Danielle to understand the theory of how sound can help and support body and mind. The most valuable experience was listening to and feeling the sounds throughout the playing, and learning how I can incorporate the Gong into my therapeutic practices."

"The Gong Discovery Day with Danielle was amazing.You go into it thinking you will only use small gongs but it was amazing to finish with a large one.The day was put together perfectly, the explanations and information were clear, and the feedback as you go along is amazing."

"I joined the Gong Discovery Day with Danielle because I loved sound and wanted to integrate into treatments but did not know where to start. Being able to play some of the large gongs was really valuable, and I leave with more understanding of the energy behind the sound. Now I’m curious about what I can do going forward."

"I came with very little experience of the gongs, having attended a sound bath. I’m taking away the theory of the gongs how to play them and how to experience the joy. Now I am feeling grounded, confident and excited."

"The Gong Discovery Day with Danielle was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is curious about gongs."

"I came to the Gong Discovery Day with brief experience of a sound bath and being drawn to gongs. The day with Danielle was perfect to be curious and explore. I leave with a much better knowledge of the gongs and I feel confident that I know what would suit me going forwards."

"The day was fab. I learnt and felt more connected than I thought I would. I loved experiencing, receiving and giving sound sessions. If you are thinking about the Gong Discovery Day with Danielle - do it!!"

Gong Intensive Weekend 

Take a step into your gong journey with Danielle North.

If you have already experienced the pull of the gong prehaps through a sound bath, or you own a gong and are ready to go deeper, this immersive weekend offers the opportunity to develop your skills, confidence and connection with this extraordinary instrument.

Through guided practice, exploration and experiential learning, you will deepen your understanding of how gongs work, how to create different sounds and textures, and how to use the instrument with greater awareness and intention.

The weekend will introduce you to a range of playing techniques, helping you develop your own relationship with the gong while learning how to create beautiful, balanced and meaningful sound experiences.

Alongside practical skills, you will explore the foundations of working with the gong in a sound healing setting, including listening, presence, creating space and responding intuitively to the energy of the room.

Suitable for beginners, this weekend is a chance to immerse yourself in the practice, build confidence and take a step into sound healing with the gongs.
