Join us for a transformative Loving Kindness Gong Meditation. During this one-hour gong bath, there will be prompts to focus on and send out loving kindness to yourself and others. Mindfulness is a radical act of self-care in today's fast-paced world -- a tool for maintaining sanity, finding meaning, and coping with the stresses of modern life. This event offers a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a profound and restorative way. No prior meditation experience is required. Just bring an open heart and a willingness to connect with your inner self. Come and experience the power of sound healing and mindfulness in a supportive and nurturing environment.
After a brief introduction and guided meditation, Phoenyx will offer an intense ~60-minute sound immersion with her two powerful gongs and gentle Koshi chimes. Afterward, there will be an opportunity to journal and/or share reflections with the group.
Unlike other sound healing events, this immersion will involve loud, intense, and powerful gong-playing, at times, to clear stuck energy and allow for emotional release. Gongs create a unique, deeply-moving experience that can drop listeners into spontaneous meditative states (theta) where we have access to creative thinking and deep relaxation and tension release. They also help to clear energetic blocks and re-attune to higher vibrations. Gongs can also bring up big emotions, which can sometimes feel activating and create feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Participants are encouraged to come prepared to allow for these feelings to come up and to release. Earplugs will be provided for anyone who might be sensitive to the sound.

Phoenyx Bio:
Founder and Soundscape Navigator at "For the Love of Gong," Phoenyx is a free-spirited creator, event-organizer, coach, psychonaut, philosopher, writer, speaker, consultant, and gong-lover — passionately inspired by expanded states of consciousness, alchemy, healthy empowerment, mind-hacking, trauma-healing, entheogenic exploration and harm-reduction, natural wellness, and community-building. She completed the Advanced Gong Sound Healing Certification Training through the International Gong Yoga Association in July 2022, under Gong Master Yogi Mehtab Benton, and has two magnificent gongs: a 32" traditional bronze Chinese Chau gong; and a 24" Paiste Brilliant Symphonic gong, made of silver, nickel, and bronze. She is the founder of Phoenyx Enterprising, SPARX, phoenyxfx, For the Love of Gong, Bit Consultants, and Liberating Love; author of The Tripper's Guide to an Awesome Ride; and event organizer for Happier Portland, Portland Sound Baths, Authentic Portland, Relationship Anarchy Portland, Portland Bitcoin, and LoveHub Meetup groups. A perpetual student, Phoenyx is always exploring further education to learn how to share the gongs in more therapeutic ways.
