Gong + Oracle Cards

$20 – $40
Event Navigation
Join us for a unique and transformative experience – a Gong Sound Immersion accompanied by Healing Energy Oracle cards. As you lay down comfortably, the powerful and resonant sounds of the gong will wash over you, penetrating every cell in your body, releasing tension and bringing you into a state of profound peace. To enhance this profound experience, we’ll incorporate the use of Healing Energy Oracle cards. Before the immersion begins, each participant will be invited to draw a card that carries a specific healing message or intention. As the gong sounds surround you, you can meditate on the message you receive, allowing its energy and meaning to penetrate your consciousness. This intentional combination of sound and visualization helps unlock your inner wisdom, facilitates emotional release, and promotes spiritual growth.
The gong is a timeless instrument known for its ability to induce a meditative and trance-like state. Its vibrations not only stimulate and balance the physical body, but also create a harmonious atmosphere for deep introspection and inner healing,
Whether you are seeking stress relief, emotional release, spiritual alignment, or simply a profound meditative experience, this Gong Sound Immersion with Healing Energy Oracle cards is designed to support your journey towards a state of balance, harmony, and inner peace. Come and immerse yourself in the beautiful collision of sound and spiritual guidance.
After a brief introduction and guided meditation, Phoenyx will offer an intense ~60-minute sound immersion with her two powerful gongs and gentle Koshi chimes. Afterward, there will be an opportunity to journal and/or share reflections with the group.
Unlike other sound healing events, this immersion will involve loud, intense, and powerful gong-playing, at times, to clear stuck energy and allow for emotional release. Gongs create a unique, deeply-moving experience that can drop listeners into spontaneous meditative states (theta) where we have access to creative thinking and deep relaxation and tension release. They also help to clear energetic blocks and re-attune to higher vibrations. Gongs can also bring up big emotions, which can sometimes feel activating and create feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Participants are encouraged to come prepared to allow for these feelings to come up and to release. Earplugs will be provided for anyone who might be sensitive to the sound.

Phoenyx Bio:
Founder and Soundscape Navigator at “For the Love of Gong,” Phoenyx is a free-spirited creator, event-organizer, psychonaut, philosopher, writer, speaker, consultant, and gong lover — passionately inspired by expanded states of consciousness, alchemy, healthy empowerment, harmonious dynamics, mind-hacking, trauma-healing, entheogenic exploration and harm-reduction, natural wellness, and community-building. She completed the Advanced Gong Sound Healing Certification Training through the International Gong Yoga Association in July 2022, under Gong Master Yogi Mehtab Benton, and has two magnificent gongs: a 32″ traditional bronze Chinese Chau gong; and a 24″ Paiste Brilliant Symphonic gong, made of silver, nickel, and bronze. She is the founder of Phoenyx Enterprising; event organizer for Happier Portland, Authentic Portland, Relationship Anarchy Portland, and LoveHub Meetup groups; and author of “Liberating Love,” an in-progress book exploring the art, science, philosophy, and practice of sovereign relating (inclusive self-care that fosters conscious, authentic, empowered, and healing relationships). A perpetual student, Phoenyx is always exploring further education to learn how to share the gongs in more therapeutic ways.
