Summer Gong Camp 2022 with Don Conreaux

Exploring Gong Creativity through Mathematics and Beyond
as taught by Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux

July 8th -14th 2022 in Heidal, Norway

We’re truly delighted to welcome you to our very first Gong Master Training Camp in the Majestic Mountains of Norway; a Beautiful Gong Gathering for both new learners and experienced players.

We are welcoming Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux who is co-teaching with his daughter Gong Master Journeywoman Yaelle Shaphir. This workshop is the first of its kind. Not only is it the first time that Don and Yaelle are teaching in Europe following the 2 year lockdown, but it is the introduction of the European Tour 2022 where we will have the opportunity to learn and play accordingly to the irrational fractions from Dons newest teachings.

Who is this course for?

Advanced students of the gong, sound healing practitioners and teachers of other modalities will gain knowledge and experience to develop their own practice, personal and professional aspirations, and spiritual growth.

For new Gongplayers, this training in playing by numbers is a fantastic opportunity to begin their gong journey by diving deep into the art and science of the Gong. Together with Don you will take your first steps into developing your own sound healing practice and building a worldwide Gong family  Community.

Don says about the teachings

  • “In childhood, we might remember experiencing the beginner’s process of drawing or coloring by the numbers. Now in our adulthood, we can again use this beginner’s mind approach of gong playing but in a more advanced state of playing by the numbers.”
  • “We are also upgrading our prefrontal cerebral cortex in this “9.0” fashion. We upgrade our primate/limbic brain for “quantum experiencing” in this process of gong shifting our focus and consciousness.”
  • “There is a particular way of thinking that we might un-humbly call “The Universal Gong Master State of Mind.” We can begin this process by simply exploring The Cosmic Mysteries that are present in the 9/0. Enneagram and then newly see it as a great gong template for contemplation, an Enneaphone.”
  • “The Omega State of Advanced Playing” is discovered by the playing by the numbers using the Enneagram template to transform the Gong face into the Enneaphone. Using the numbers 1–9/0, is another step to a new next level.”

[1] MEM Gong Yoga focuses on 39 muscles, each one of them linked to one of the 12 main meridians according to Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory. Each organ or meridian is associated with an emotion. Utilizing breath, movement, awareness, and intention in the MEM Gong Yoga practice: we release stuck emotions, congested energy, and old patterns stored in our bodies, replacing the negative engrams with a positive command thus promoting optimum health, wellbeing, and inner peace. This relates to Patanjali’s 4th limb called pratyahara or “substitution of a negative with a positive”.

[2]   Running evening Gong baths. You can sign up to either Play & Practice your new skills or you may want to lay down to Relax & Receive an evening Gongbath.
