GONG EXPLORATIONS – A Residential Immersion with Mike Tamburo
✨ More than a workshop — this is a 3-day immersive living experience with the gong, guided by one of the most influential and sought-after artists of our time, Mike Tamburo.
In response to the strong interest following our first sold-out training, we are opening a second, highly exclusive 3-day residential immersion in a serene natural setting near Berlin.
ADELHAUS, Hauptstraße Wilmersdorf 3, 16928 Pritzwalk
📅 Monday – Wednesday, August 10–12, 2026
For these three days, we gather in one place — living, eating, and creating sound together — allowing the process to deepen beyond technique and into presence, listening, and connection.
✨ Only 14 places available — currently 50% reserved
The Experience
This immersive format offers a rare opportunity to study in close proximity with Mike Tamburo — not only through structured sessions, but through shared space, meals, silence, and the natural unfolding of each day.
Learning happens not only in teaching sessions, but in the subtle moments in between — in conversation, in stillness, in shared resonance.
This environment invites a different quality of learning — one that cannot be scheduled, but emerges through proximity, attention, and shared space.
What is included
- 2 nights accommodation (shared rooms at Adelhaus)
- All vegetarian meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
- Full 3-day workshop immersion with Mike Tamburo
- Evening concert experience
- Access to instruments (or bring your own gong)
- Time for integration, rest, and reflection
