Gong Bath Meditation with Jane
2022-10-16 17:30 - 18:30
This beautiful healing event with Jane is often fully booked, so we ask you to book in advance and arrive a few minutes before 5.30 pm to settle as we will start on time.
Gong Bath Meditation is a practice that aids healing by synchronizing our brain and restoring balance & harmony in our human system.
Cost £15 – non refundable and non transferable – please book via our timetable
More information about the Gong Bath:
Water is not involved in a Gong Bath Meditation.
Instead, you are bathed in the sounds and vibrations of gongs, & crystal bowls. It is a sound bath that creates profound relaxation.
Gong Bath Meditations alter brain wave patterns from the Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (meditative) states. Science teaches that meditative brain frequencies enable us to access our deeper subconscious and superconscious, which are key states for healing.
Sound healing is not a new fad. The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, gongs vibrate at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself.
These ideas might sound kind of “woo-woo”, but Sound Energy Healing is a physical phenomenon based on universal physical and biological principles called Sonic entrainment, where rhythmic vibrations of similar frequencies resonate in unison.
The universal principles of sound mean you do not have to believe in Sound Energy Healing or understand it, to benefit from sessions. However, you might be like many people, and want to know what proof exists for energy healing.
Okay, here comes a little Science lesson:
The sounds during a gong bath can be used to rebalance our human system. There is a profound effect on our cardiovascular, autonomic, endocrine and immune systems. It is an excellent therapy for stress-related issues, such as depression and anxiety.
What to expect in a group Gong Bath session:
Ideally you will experience the gong bath lying comfortably on your back. You will need to bring along a blanket and a pillow.
All you have to do is lie comfortably and close your eyes and relax. I then begin by playing the gongs very softly, increasing the volume as the session progresses (the volume never gets unbearable as I am playing therapeutically). I change the playing technique frequently so there is no fixed rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and entrainment takes place. Entrainment is the changing of brainwave frequencies.
After a continuous 40 minutes of gong playing, I start to wind down and play very gently for five minutes fading away to nothing. I then spend a little time talking you back to awareness.
The gong is an amazing and powerful instrument for healing work; I recommend that you take it easy for the rest of the day to allow the treatment to continue to do its work. I also advise that you drink plenty of water.
Setting the intention or creative visualisation Difference between stress and relaxation short set of exercises to help you relax ready Sound bath with gongs Gentle return to full awareness
Out of respect to all participants and due to the sensitive nature of the work, DOORS CLOSE once a sessions has started there will be no admission:
If you would like to reserve a place, please purchase your ticket early. Gong bath sessions are very popular. We would like to fit everybody in but tickets will be limited to space so we ensure that everybody has enough space to be comfortable and also so that everybody can be looked after.
A few things to bring with you:
• A yoga mat to lie on, a pillow for your head and a blanket as some people might get a bit chilly during the session (we do provide them but feel free to bring your own cosy blanket). We try and make the room as warm as possible for you, but if you feel the cold please make sure you wear plenty of layers and thick socks.
• Please try to be on time so we hope you can be there for the whole session and share this experience together.
• Please bring with you….your honesty, your compassion, your courage and your fears, your dreams and your doubts, your joy and your tears, your sense of humour, your voice if you want, and your unique self.
You can also pay via bank transfer if you choose the “Pay Offline” option.

What Is Cacao?
For thousands of years, since ancient Civilisations, Cacao has been used in rituals and ceremonies as a tool for journeying deep inside the self, allowing spirit to move through and guide.
Cacao is one of the most nutritionally dense superfoods and provides many benefits both spiritual & physical.
It contains more antioxidants than any other food on the planet.
It stimulates the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and anandamide – the ‘bliss chemical’ – leading to feelings of euphoria.
It relaxes the muscles and balances the nervous system whilst focusing the mind and activating the heart.
Cacao is ‘The Food for the Shift’
“An Indigenous myth tells us whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return us all to harmony.”

Yuliya Higham Yoga + YHApothecary

The run up to Christmas and New Year’s Eve is a hectic time – preparing gifts, meals out, family and friends’ get togethers, rich food – all beautiful, but also taking an incredible toll on the body, stressing and pushing it out of balance.

Traditionally though the time after Winter Solstice has been the time to go inward, slow down and use the few weeks of winter hibernation to restore, rest and recharge.
This workshop is an invitation to take a little time for yourself, to nourish and nurture the nature within, helping the body align with the nature outside, refilling your own vessel – as from the empty cup you cannot give.

We’ll dedicate these few short hours to enjoy embodied movement, eat some season appropriate snacks, play with skincare treats and discuss tips on how to support your mind, body and soul in the winter months.

8th – 11th October 2026
Join Andrew for a nourishing autumn retreat in the beautiful Marshwood Vale, nestled amongst the rolling hills of West Dorset, just two miles from the sea. A wonderful opportunity to slow down, reconnect and restore, with delicious food, peaceful surroundings and a heated indoor pool to luxuriate in.
The Practice
This retreat draws from traditional Hatha Yoga practices that have been studied, embodied and shared over many years.
Each day will begin with early morning meditation, followed by a unique blend of pranayama and kriya practices.
Late morning sessions will include asana (yoga posture) practice, combining alignment-based postures with fluid, intuitive movement to energise, restore and rebalance body and mind.
Afternoon sessions begin with time to gather together, reflect and ask questions around anything arising physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. This is followed by afternoon asana practice and somatic movement.
Andrew has been teaching yoga for over 20 years and has led retreats around the world for the past 15 years, creating spaces that are welcoming, grounded and deeply restorative.
The Retreat Centre
Bonhays is a sanctuary of peace, simplicity and stillness — a beautiful, secluded meditation and retreat centre nestled in the hills of West Dorset, between Bridport and Lyme Regis.
Set around a central courtyard, the soft curves of the straw-built buildings blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The centre offers spacious communal areas alongside many quiet corners for rest and reflection.
Surrounded by twenty acres of private land, there are countless places to simply sit and be. Facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool, a meditation and group space, beautiful walks directly from the land and easy access to the coast, just a five-minute drive away.
Whether you choose to watch the sunset from the decking, swim peacefully in the pool, enjoy nourishing meals in the conservatory or settle into stillness in the meditation room, we trust you will leave feeling replenished, rested and revitalised.
