Gong Baths of 2018 and News from The Gong Lab
2018 will be an exciting year for the Gong Lab as we redouble our focus on bringing the power of The Gong and the gong bath experience to as many people in our community as possible.
We are part of a global community of Gong Masters trained under Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux and are change-agents with goals no less lofty than the very transition of our species on its evolutionary path from Homo Sapiens to "Homo Luminous"!
In practical terms, this means that we will increase our availability and activity and do our best to be open to new events, collaborations, and one-on-one sessions like an open parent doing its best to never say 'no' when the motivation is born of curiosity and a desire to explore.
Use our contact info below to stay in touch or reach out to us with questions or ideas for future collaboration, bookings, or event calendars.
Follow us or message us on Facebook:

Event Notes, January and February 2018:
Lululemon Athletica, Gong Meditation; Albany, NY
Video below of Jim with the priceless "Walter" gong made by master gong maker Walter Meyer at the end of his life and long career.
We just finished an amazing early morning event at the Lulu Lemon Athletica in Albany at Crossgates. Some of the more self-identified purist seekers might protest that a retail 'store' may not be the best place for a meditation, but this was amazing! Special thanks to Adam Galarneau of Lululemon, Lisa O'brien from LifeYum, and Katie Colins Yoga for integrating us into this amazing event. It was an inspiration to empty the store and create such a unique space so quickly for more than 60 people participate in an experiment that was assuredly a sight-to-see for the friendly 'mall walkers' who stopped to peer through the windows of the shop! Thanks to Hayley from Saratoga Tea & Honey for sending us all on our way with gifts of her custom Gen Mai Chocolate.

Latham Experimental Gong Bath; New Gongs in Latham, NY
Wow! Special thanks to Grammy nominated David Macejka for turning us on with 3 new gongs, including the massive Paiste Sound Creation and two vintage Paiste Symphonic gongs as well as 3 of the vintage Paiste circle stands made famous by Pink Floyd live at Pompeii. These gongs are gorgeous and we are happy to have them join our ensemble. Our monthly experimental lab in Latham was their first appearance and we were so fortunate to be joined by fellow Gong Master Deb Segal of Segal Violins in Troy this special night.
Follow us on Facebook for details on our next Latham event.

See you soon!
Let's take part of this journey together!

Private Gong Baths now available in Saratoga Springs at Bodywork Professionals!
Private Gong Baths now available in The Gong Room at Bodywork Professionals in Saratoga Springs, NY!
The Gong Lab is now accommodating private Gong Bath and Sound Healing sessions in The Gong Room that you have heard Nick and I talking about during our public events. This is where we’ve initiated the practice and experimentation that has been manifested over the years in a group setting and is now available for customized, one on one sessions offering a level of control, guidance, and interaction not available in a group setting.
 |
| The Gong Bath Room at Bodywork Professionals in Saratoga Springs, NY |
What’s different?
The most
noticeable difference between a group gong event and a private session is the
amount of focus and customization on and for your needs and goals specifically. Although
Nick and I always establish and maintain an intention in our public events; the
private event allows us to construct a custom intention and path, with your
optional guidance, specifically designed to maximize the healing events
engendered by this vibration.
There is no wrong way to do it and the
intention is limitless!
You may
simply lie down silently and take a true ‘power nap’, or use the option to talk
and explore physical, spiritual, or emotional healing goals in every aspect of
new-life, life-change, and end-of-life anxieties.
What to expect?
-Consultation,
planned interaction levels and methods
-Establishing
private Intention / Goals (discussion and orientation)
-Custom pacing
and intensity with re-entry options
-Optional
participation, path or method creation for longer-term journeys
Contact us now to book an evening Gong Bath session
in Saratoga Springs!

The Gong
Lab is Jim and Nick Pavoldi
There is no wrong way to receive this vibration!
