Intervention 05 · For groups
Ninety minutes of nothing to do.
For groups who want to come to rest without anyone having to say a word. A session with gong, singing bowls and voice. You take part lying on a mat, sitting on a meditation cushion or simply on a chair. Sound and vibration help the nervous system let go of built-up tension.

Sound familiar? Then a sound session is the simplest intervention I offer. All you have to do is show up.
Discuss your challengeWhat it is
No skills required.
Of everything I offer, this is the only thing that takes no effort at all. You come in, lie down or sit, and listen.
Sound works without you having to think about it. The low tones of the gong and the overtones of the singing bowls take you into a state similar to the moment just before sleep. After twenty minutes, most people notice that their breathing has changed without them doing anything.
In a group, something else happens: everyone falls into the same rhythm. That sounds a bit woolly, yet you can see it in the breathing of the whole room. For teams, this is a way to come to rest together without anyone having to say a word.
Sound & Resonance can stand on its own, or be part of a team day, retreat, leadership programme or event. For example, to close a training day, or at the end of a busy period.
What it does
Lying down, seated or on a chairWhat the session does.
- 01
Sound you can feel
A gong and singing bowls reach further than your ears: you feel them throughout your body. No effort required.
- 02
A breath that slows down by itself
Low, long tones carry your breath along. No practice needed, it happens by itself.
- 03
Attention without effort
There is nothing to pay attention to and nothing to get right. That is exactly why your mind settles.
- 04
A shared experience
Everyone lies in the same sound, including people who barely speak to each other at work. It connects without anything needing to be said.
Own imagery
Own photography coming soonWhat it looks like.
The experience
A journey of one and a half to two hours.
A short introduction, a meditation, a gong concert, followed by silence and integration.
The emphasis is on the experience and the space that opens up. There is no fixed step-by-step plan: the sound sets the pace, and everyone experiences it in their own way. Some people fall asleep, and that's fine.
You take part lying on a mat, sitting on a meditation cushion or simply on a chair. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a mat and a blanket if you have them.
What it brings
What you can do with it.
The effect comes without effort. This is what you can expect.
A nervous system that comes to rest
From alert to recovery. The sound does the work, you stay lying down or seated.
Less tension in body and mind
Jaw, shoulders and belly let go. Thoughts slow down and feel less urgent.
Clearer afterwards
People come out sharper, without the drowsiness. That is why it also works in the middle of a working day.
A group in the same rhythm
People who have lain in sound together talk to each other differently afterwards. Gentler, and shorter.
