Breath & Sound at Gallery West, Macon GA

We are donation based. The recommended donation is $50 to $80. The $10 ticket price you pay on here is a non-refundable reservation price. We had to do this because people were reserving seats and not showing or cancelling, limiting opportunities for people to attend. The remainder of payment is due at the door. If you need additional sliding scale, please let us know.

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow and eye mask.

Rebirthing Breathwork is a transformative practice that transcends the physical realm to reach the spiritual and holistic dimensions of healing. Through conscious breathing, individuals can connect with their inner selves, releasing emotional traumas and blockages held in the body and psyche. When combined with sound, which creates resonance and harmony throughout your entire system, it is a powerful synergistic healing force for body, mind and spirit. The gongs are unlike any other sound therapy modality. You have to experience it to understand how divine these instruments truly are.

In this event, we first check in with each other and then we begin with a special breathing playlist for 30 minutes designed bring you into your beautiful heart. As you peak in the breath, we bring in the gongs for the next hour and so as you taper off, you will be enveloped in deep swells of vibration and resonance. We close with a voluntary group share and integration.

Participants often experience body temperature changes so bring warm blankets, pillows, an eye mask and an intention to allow and go deep.

Ananda and Gretchen, also known as The Matrix Release Specialist, were first friends doing what friends do, breathing and playing gongs together when they experienced the divine love in the combination of their gifts. A sacred offering to the community was born.

Ananda has devoted 25 years to the Healing Arts and Somatic Healing. She is a Rebirthing Breathwork coach, carrying the original lineage and blessing from the founder, Leonard Orr. Ananda has been in private practice in Atlanta for 20 years where she serves her community with Bodywork, Energy Healing and Breathwork.

Gretchen is a sound therapist, self-healer, spiritual seeker and explorer of healing modalities, particularly those that affect the brain and nervous system, like sound. She brings a symphony of sonic goodness in her artisanal family of gongs. She also runs a healing home for people recovering from traumatic brain injury caused by mold.
