About us
Back to the beginning.
‘It’s a mad world’ - and our lives are absolutely chock-full of busyness, hustle, pressure, deadlines, stress, demands, coming, going, meetings, targets, go faster, do more, quick, quick, quick! And for most of us, it takes it’s toll on our health, wellbeing and relationships. In the process, we can easily lose sight of our sense of self, who we really are, our hopes and dreams for a life that fulfills us and brings us contentment, ease and peace. We know what that feels like and we’ve found a way to stop the world and tune out of the hectic, agitated energy for a little while. We’ve created an oasis of calm, a safe space where we can all leave our baggage at the door and lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again.
Our first experience of a Gong Bath changed everything, it was an hour of total immersion in the sound vibrations of Gongs, Singing Bowls and other instruments, much more than listening to meditation music, it gave us an experience of sound which transcended time and space and took us out of the ordinary, into another world, but it was a world within, one of expansive and peaceful stillness, rediscovering that place changed everything and put everything else in our lives into perspective.
And that’s what initiated the change and led to us taking early retirement from the rat-race to create an oasis of peace and tranquility where we can use Healing Sound to help us all to find the stillness within where we can activate our ‘Inner Healer’.
These are our opinions and we are sharing what we find works for us.

Dr John Shapter
John was a main-stream clinician who also has an understanding and experience of Holistic Care and Shamanic journeying. Following a surprise Birthday Present, he experienced a Sound Bath with Gongs and other instruments. As a result of the profound effect of well-being he felt during (and after) this, he sought further similar experiences and eventually took training in Gong and Sound therapy. He has two levels of Gong Master Training with World-renowned Don Conreaux and Aidan McIntyre. These weeks of complete immersion in sound and meditation have been an absolute life-changing experience. "I found myself raised into an extraordinary place of quiet and serenity. I found a connection to a world of love for fellow human beings and a feeling of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being that I`d never attained before" Since then he has further experience with International teachers such as Jens Zygar. Through his practise of Sound Journeying, John brings these benefits to other people. In this new age, sound is both a means of attaining good spiritual and physical health as well as promoting peace and love across the world. He plays ".. to find Joy and to bring Joy" |

She has attended Gong Camp with Mitch Nur, an intensive 7 day training on advanced sound techniques. She says about sound: "It transends all barriers, there`s nothing that gets in the way, it`s just about you and what you hear and what you feel. Sound is one of the first senses we experience in the womb and sounds created with the healing intent are both beautiful and powerful" "I play gongs because the sounds transport me, everything fades away and I get to be fully present with my divine self. I want to share this experience with everyone else." |
