New Year’s Gong @ Triple Crane

Gong metals, particularly the higher nickel silver alloys, are high transmitters of electricity, emitting rich resonant vibrations that work on a cellular level. They support the release of tension and old patterns, calm the nervous system, and invite profound states of meditation and inner vision. They can assist with receiving information not usually accessible from deep in the heart and fascial tissue for clearer awareness of where to focus and unwind one’s energy.

In gong space, cosmic information channeling through the physical body and the space around it becomes more obvious as the senses expand and grow into an experience typically only available to us with the use of psychedelics. Using gong energy to tap into this, we can alter the consciousness and remove ourselves from the ongoing loop of the feeling of the present moment without the use of substance, bringing a greater ability to carry the messages we receive back home with us as we gently come back into the body.

This is a beautiful way to gain perspective, clarity, and gratitude on the events of the past year. The contrast of a different experience of consciousness helps us shift what we feel and think about current and upcoming events, and release what we connected with in the past. 

Sara will play for over one hour followed by a long clearing mantra with the harmonium to gently bring the body from cosmic space, back into the physical realm with the comforting vibration of the feminine voice. 

Afterwards we will share a simple dessert and tea together to close out the event. 

Sara is a practicing nutritional biochemist, wild botanicals pastry artist, and gong alchemist of 15 years. Her sound journeys are an audible celebration of life, energy, and healing. They open a wormhole in the fabric of duality and invite crystalline unification consciousness. She uses an expansive collection of artisan silver nickel gongs, including two she forged herself in Germany, as well as sound bowls, harp, harmonium, and voice. Her offerings create deeply emotional and meditative experiences rooted in the primitive sounds of Creation and the nurturing embrace of the feminine voice.

Sara has toured across the US and Europe for gong facilitation and studies. She has worked as a gong wholesaler and consultant for 13 years. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition, along with degrees and certifications in Neuroscience, Nursing, Medical Biochemistry, and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. In addition to over 1,000 RYT hours including Bhakti chanting and storytelling, and being a classically trained chef instructor, Sara crafts organic raw vegan chocolates and cakes, ceremonial cacao, wild American Shilajit, floral salts, and more, which she will offer during the event.
