Some quotes from past gong residential and sound healing retreat participants:
Thank you again for an amazing training. I came home and slept for 10 hrs and feel light and recharged today. The weekend gave me an unforced sense of 'this is what I am meant to be doing' i.e. working with the gong. It was so wonderful to play without expectations, to receive healing from others and to experience your teaching and holding space; you offer from a place of deep humility and wisdom. And of course the venue and its Devi energy was the perfect support for our inner work.
Thanks again for an amazing weekend, gorgeous place, great food, but most importantly, amazing love and heart vibrations, I was blissed out many times! Will be back next year!
I just wanted to thank you for a fabulous weekend. The inspiring content of the weekend in the tranquil Dev Aura, great teaching space, nourishing whole food and meditation gardens gave my whole being a refreshing break and real boost. I came home feeling ready to take on the world.
The retreat at Dev Aura with Sarah was a joy forever. The place was perfect and the food superb, so it was a good start! Sarah was in top form and made the whole retreat wonderful, taking us out of our comfort zone and I learned that yes I can use my voice, it's fun and it's effective (as I found when I used my voice with a client making everything very special). As for being able to use the gongs, well that was magic and I want one in my tiny house so something will have to go! I totally recommend the whole experience!
This year's Sound & Light Retreat at Dev Aura was indeed a treat, fun and uplifting. The place was stunning - the atmosphere, the colours, the crystals, the garden -everything about it was marvellous. You facilitated the event splendidly, I loved the time out, the gong bath and the many opportunities to use our voices, - such a great powerful & portable tool that I hadn't made much use of before. Definitely a highlight in 2011.
