Your Heart is Free; have the Courage to follow it. ~Braveheart
Long before falling in Love with The Gong, I began a Love affair with Life, with Source & Spirit; with Nature and the Cosmos; with Creativity, Learning and Understanding; with Humanity and the fascinating mysteries of being Human; with expanding Conscious Awareness; and with the ever-evolving work in progress I am. Vivid experiences from my early years sculpted me in a multitude of ways, catalyzing an artesian strength, curiosity and courage; boundless wonderment and multi-passionate, multi-faceted sensitivity and Awareness.
Following a Blessed trail from Texas A&M (B.S. in Forest Science) to Oregon's extraordinary Umpqua National Forest, I trusted Divine Guidance and returned to central Texas. Profound transformational experiences, experiments and education continue to expand my Conscious Awareness, creating a versatile, comprehensive, and effective mosaic of empowering skills and understanding in Service to Humanity, this Earth and Beyond~
My relationship with tools of Sound unfolded with Singing Quartz Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Bowls and Tuning Forks. Then in 2006... (cue Thus Spake Zarathrustra or Fanfare for the Common Man)...The Gong~!, during a Yoga workshop with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and her husband Gurushabd. While in the restoration-integration phase of an intense early morning practice, exquisitely beautifully ethereal, uplifting, spacious and mysteriously affecting other-wordly sounds and healing frequencies penetrated and completely relaxed my entire Being. The gentle yet powerful Energy effects and organic Intelligence of the sounds were flowing within me, accomplishing an astonsishing amount of 'work' in what felt to be constraint-free timelessness.As the Sun began to rise, I opened my eyes to discover a GONG had created the amazing sounds and internal experience~!Even after Gurushabd ceased playing, the experience continued liberating and illuminating limitless horizons within me. Naturally I thought,the Gong would be an excellent complement to my multi-passionate work in the World~! In those moments, I declared my intention to share The Gong's gifts with the Planet, humanity and Beyond. Gong Training manifested soon thereafter...
Since finding this special Paiste Gong in 2009, I've been joyfully sharing its celestial, oceanic sounds; uplifting therapeutic frequencies and Divine Cosmic healing capacities where no Gong has gone-g before. Dedicated to expanding Gong applications, accessibility, outreach, venues, and collaborations, I enthusiastically, creatively and humbly share Transformational Gong in unique, engaging, effective, inspirational, functional, meaningful and powerful ways. Central to my meta-missions with The Gong is: The Intentional Practice and Gentle Art of Blessing and expanding access to frequency experiences that effortlessly go beyond cognitive therapy.
It is my !JOY! sharing the many splendors and healing capacities of The Gong--especially innovative, out-of-the-silos Gong offerings. I cherish the boundless co-creativity, interactive serendipity and unique chemistries of these sonic encounters~!
In addition to Transformational Gong sessions and Divine Cosmic Missions for Humanity, this Beloved Planet & Beyond, The Gong and I rejoice in sharing its unique Gifts in creative, meaningful and imaginative ways. With its sturdy backpack, The Gong and I are ever-ready to:
