Masha offers one-to-one group Gong Bath sessions. "Gong bath" or “sound bath” does not involve any water and are undertaken fully clothed. These terms are often used because many people describe the experience of being “bathed” in the sounds during these sessions. For both one-to-one and group Gong Baths, you will typically lie down on a soft bed on the floor, and simply rest, listening to the sounds around you. Some people prefer to sit up for the sound sessions, which is fine.
In addition to gong sessions, Masha facilitates a monthly Drumming Circle (3rd Wednesday of each month), and occasionally supports her colleague Rhiannon Becque in running her monthly Sound Healing Circle (1st Wednesday of each month), the latter normally taking place at Hadfield Hall, Glossop, but at the moment this is delivered online due to the current pandemic. Rhiannon and Masha are both tutors for the College of Sound Healing - they teach a Sacred Chants and Healing Mantras workshop once in a while, and Masha has developed a Trauma Awareness training specifically for sound healing practitioners and has been delivering it in various locations around the country.

Gong Aftercare Notes
After your Gong Bath Meditation...
A few important aftercare tips for participants Gong Bath Meditations (especially when attending your first gong event):
1) The gongs will continue working for a couple of days after the gong bath and you may experience some mild after-effects, like tiredness, possibly headaches, may be feeling more emotional than usual. This is completely normal and should subside soon.
2) It is not unusual to get some new awareness, insights and different ways of looking at things.
3) Drinking plenty of water (room temperature or slightly warm is better than cold or hot) will support the healing process.
4) Do try to have as much rest as possible for the next couple of days, and if you are working try at least to take regular short breaks.
5) Spending time outdoors, in the garden, park, other green spaces, connecting with the Earth, is also really good.
