with the indigenous Flatbell of the Bonpo, Dongba, and Spirit Mediums of Tibet

Shangs are provided for student use - limited to 9 Students

This is the only program in the world offered on this instrument today by someone who has been researching it for over 3 decades and is regarded as an insider.

Residential Retreat for NEW STUDENTS with multiple instructors

The Bonpo Shang is one of the world's oldest ritual Sound Tools, and quite possibly the oldest metal sound tool, dating back to the pre-Imperial Period of the ancient kingdom of ZhangZhung.

Today's Yungdrung Bon tradition attribute the Shang to the founder of Bon, Tonpa Shenrab. The instrument existed at the time of Lord Shenrab (16,000BC according to some historians ), and may be considerably older according to sources in the Bon community. The instrument is found in other shamanic traditions in the Himalayan region of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Yunnan, Tuva, Mongolia,and as far north as the Buriyat Republic.

Why is this important? According to Dr. Mitch's research, "the upturned flat bell may be the only authentic sound healing instrument. There are numerous texts in the monasteries attesting to this which include how it is to be made, how it is played, and by whom. Every antique Shang found in museums confirms this (very few Shangs available today are authentic-fakes) and ONLY "knowledge holders" should be wielding it." Precise instructions found in authentic ancient texts with just one purpose - to heal with sound. As Dr. Mitch states " no other instrument used in sound healing can make this claim."

Information will be posted soon - we are in the process of confirming all the teachers for this advanced program on everything Gong. This program has now been extended to 12 days and 'on site' lodging is very limited.
