These gatherings are designed especially for beginners and curious explorers. The instruments themselves are intuitive, and learning begins simply with listening, breath, and touch.A Hands-On ExperienceBecause the experience is experiential, participants will have the opportunity to work directly with the instruments, ask questions, and begin discovering which instruments resonate most naturally with them.Yes, you may bring your own instruments! This is a small, hands-on learning experienceTo allow everyone time with the instruments and personal guidance, each gathering is intentionally limited to 10 participants. Early registration is recommended.What You Will Leave WithParticipants often leave these gatherings with:A direct experience of several sound instrumentsA sense of which instruments resonate most strongly with themA basic understanding of how these instruments are used in sound ceremoniesPractical guidance on how someone might begin learning an instrumentA deeper appreciation for the role of sound in creating calm and presenceWhether you are simply curious or feel a deeper interest in sound, these gatherings offer a welcoming place to explore.Discover the instruments that speak to you.A Pathway Into Deeper StudyFor many people, these introductory gatherings are simply an opportunity to explore an instrument that has been calling to them.For those who feel a deeper connection, these experiences may also serve as a doorway into our broader Ceremony of Sound program — a 100 hour structured path of study exploring sound, presence, and the art of holding space with instruments.The Ceremony of Sound course brings together tradition, intuitive listening, and contemplative practice to support those who feel called to share sound with others.Adron Beene is a sound ceremony facilitator and teacher whose work centers on the thoughtful and intentional use of gongs within immersive sound experiences. Drawing on classical music training and the Viniyoga tradition, his teaching emphasizes sequencing, harmonics, transitions, and attunement to group dynamics to support regulation, integration, and ease.He teaches gongs as the primary medium, with bowls, voice, harmonium, handpans, and flutes used in supportive roles. Adron was a co-teacher for the 2025 Fall Ceremony of Sound training and has offered workshops in Voice Optimization and Introduction to Gongs. He holds certifications in Gong Therapy, Gong Yoga Nidra, and Viniyoga (RYT-500). For more, see Layagongs.com
