NEW YEAR GONG BATH

The first day of the year often carries the echoes of the months before – the pace, the celebrations, the unfinished thoughts. This New Year Gong Bath (Neujahr Gong Bad) is a space to gently lay all of that down. Instead of starting 2025 with pressure and resolutions, you are invited to begin with rest, sound, and presence.   In this one-hour sound healing journey – a gong Klangreise / Klangbad – you simply lie down, close your eyes, and let layers of vibration move through your body. There is nothing to perform or achieve. The sound does the work; your only task is to receive. WHAT TO EXPECT – WAS DICH ERWARTET

60 minutes of continuous gong sound (eine tiefe Gong Klangreise) to soothe and reset your nervous system. A gentle, quiet New Year reset – perfect if you feel tired after the holidays or want to start the year calmly. Minimal talking, maximum receiving – short welcome, then you rest in sound. A guided New Year sound healing journey (Klangreise) in Berlin, suitable for all levels. A cosy closing with tea, so you can land softly back into the evening.

THE EXPERIENCE – DIE ERFAHRUNG

We begin with a brief welcome and a few moments of grounding. You find a comfortable resting position, supported by mats, blankets and cushions. When the gongs start to play, the room fills with layers of tone and vibration. The harmonics move through the body like waves, sometimes gentle, sometimes more intense, inviting your system to release what it no longer needs. Many people experience:

• a deep sense of relaxation and spaciousness,
• less mental noise and more inner quiet,
• a feeling of lightness after the session.

After around one hour of sound, we return slowly, take a few breaths together, and share a short tea time for those who wish to stay a little longer. ​ You might notice waves of vibration, subtle emotions flowing through, or a deep, grounded stillness. Every journey is personal; the sound meets each person in its own way.

WHY NEW YEAR’S DAY? – WARUM AM NEUJAHRSTAG?

The first evening of the year sets a tone. This New Year Gong Bath / Klangbad is an invitation to choose a tone of calm, clarity and inner listening. Instead of rushing into goals and plans, you give your body and mind a chance to arrive fully in 2026. Am Neujahrstag ist der Geist oft besonders offen – diese Gong-Klangreise bietet dir einen sanften energetischen Neustart, bevor der Alltag wieder beginnt. You can use this hour to quietly feel into your intentions for the year – or to simply rest without needing to think about anything at all. Both are welcome

• Water bottle.
• A cup for tea
• Any extra cushion or eye cover that supports your rest.

• If you are taking medication for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, blood pressure, or any condition affecting the nervous system, the depth of relaxation may feel more amplified.
• Those with epilepsy, sound sensitivity, PTSD, a history of trauma, or certain mental-health conditions may find that the layered vibrations evoke unexpected sensations or emotions.
• If you are pregnant, particularly in the first trimester, please join only if it feels right for you and after consulting your healthcare provider.

  If any of these relate to you—or if you are unsure how your body may respond—please check in with a healthcare professional before attending.

Your comfort and inner stability matter above all.​ ​ May the vibrations guide you, cleanse you, and remind you of the quiet healing already alive within your being.
