Gong bath prelude: You are welcomed to a charming, peaceful horse sanctuary nestled against the foothills…. you are part of a rapt crowd of Light-hearted seekers…. picnic with a soulful speaker sharing sweet insights into themes of dark and light…. join a reverent procession across the barnyard…. enter a wood-rail pen framing our sacred circle….
NOTE: Sound begins at 19 seconds
Settle in to a twilight sound-scaped by horses: snuffling, munching, tails swishing and hooves softly thudding …. lay down, close your eyes, relax, breathe, rest…. enter your own world guided by spoken words…. the gong echoes Earth’s vibrations and follows horse energy…. deep/ sweet/ bold/ rich tones take you deeper and higher….
The setting sun leaves cooler air, a sense of completion and of promise…. foothills limned with pinks, golds, oranges…. share an impression…. depart knowing there is always great love for you here, inside you and at this place.

Chairs provided upon request. Chairs will be set up along the back and sides of the yoga mat area. Your chair must be reserved in advance at iamhorsehungry@horsehungry.com
Comfort: This is a dusty, sandy, horse-smelly ranch! (We prefer “Equine-Enhanced Aromatherapy,” but you get the drift.) You will by laying on the hard sand for about an hour. Ample padding like camping pad or folded blankets is strongly recommended. You might want to bring a small tarp like a large plastic garbage bag cut open.

Inclement Weather: If needed, the entire event – picnic, speaker, gong bath – will take place in the indoor arena, where the west doors look out over the foothills. The Gong Bath sounds will be semi-enclosed as in a large church or theater; the horses will remain outdoors.
Participants must be at least 14 years of age: Thank you.
Cancellation: Your check will be returned. The event will be rescheduled, date to be determined.
