You’re invited to a Gong and Sound Bath (Fundraising event) at the beautiful Kupidabin Wilderness Centre

a place to connect…… a place to land……. a place to share

Gong sound healing, often called a gong bath, is a form of sound therapy where you “bathe” in deep, resonant vibrations to induce a meditative state. This gong and sound bath will run for an hour, during which time you may sit or lie down and allow the multi-layered tones to wash over or, you may wish to move or dance to the sound as it resonates with your body.
Key Benefits of a sound bath are

  • Deep Relaxation: The vibrations stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering heart rate and blood pressure to help the body shift from stress to healing.
  • Brainwave Entrainment: Sound frequencies help transition brainwaves from active (beta) to relaxed (alpha and theta) states, associated with enhanced creativity and memory processing.
  • Physical & Emotional Relief: Participants often report reduced anxiety, improved sleep quality, and the release of emotional blockages or physical tension.

This event is a fundraiser to support the ongoing care and preservation of the Kupidabin property – held in honour of Maureen Pickstone and her late husband, Des, who established this special place. All proceeds go directly to the Kupidabin Cultural Association to help it continue thriving.
Reserve your place today and invest in your wellbeing while supporting a beloved local sanctuary.

Experience the powerful vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other tuned instruments that help the body entrain to healing frequencies.
Enjoy a simple shared meal and a cup of tea in tranquil surroundings.

As the day of the gong bath approaches, you may become aware of things in your life that you wish to transmute.  You are invited to write these down, bring them with you to the gong bath, and present them to Martin at the beginning.  They will be placed in a sacred bowl; as wishes or intentions to be offered to Spirit, the great mystery, to support the changes you want to see in your life.
Reserve your place today and invest in your wellbeing while supporting a beloved local sanctuary.

About Martin
Martin is a qualified sound therapy practitioner. He was introduced to sound bath through gong-master Leith James.

the first time I heard the gong it was like a wave of sound crashing over me, at times, rushing towards me and crashing somewhere beyond

Martin underwent gong training with Leith and since has run many sound bath events with gong, singing bowl, didge, drum and bells.

Martin is an accomplished healing practitioner and shamanic, intuitive guide. With a decade of experience in Dreamtime healing, the additional depth he brings to gong and sound baths makes the difference between simply allowing the frequencies to do their work and opening the possibility of going deeper to receive a more effective healing.

Martin doesn’t just present the instruments. He intuitively reads the room and is guided to play in a way that serves the best and highest good of everyone present.
