The 'lineup' will be announced soon - but expect the Usual Suspects
The 9ways Gong Camp has become the ‘gold standard’ in teaching ‘everything Gong’ in the world today. Our approach is quite different to most Gong trainings because we are focused on teaching ‘musicianship’ focused on practice time and drills to increase the students skill set in playing the Gong. This is a deep dive into Gong Culture and Gong Craft featuring all the Gongs throughout the world’s Gong Cultures.
We are not focused on one type of Gong, but all Gongs including ‘artisan’ Gongs from independent Gong Makers. Our “Gong Lab” features Bronze Gongs, Nickel Silver Gongs, Stainless Gongs, Iron Gongs, Glass Gongs, Titanium Gongs, Wind Gongs, Chao Gongs, Nipple Gongs, Heng Gongs, Burma Gongs, Turkish Gongs, Italian Gongs, Indonesian Gongs, Tea Ceremony Gongs, Bertoia Studio Gongs and Sonambient pieces, Thai Gongs,...

SONIC THEOLOGY: The Metaphysical Understanding of Sound Therapy, and the Attainment of Spiritual Harmonic Knowledge / First Module of the Sound Therapy Certification of 9Ways Academia
ONLINE DIDACTIC OVER ZOOM and Sonic Wisdom Platform
Sonic Theology features an examination of Western, Mid Eastern, and Far Eastern theoretical approaches to Sound Therapy. A 170,000 year analysis of the footprints of Sound Therapy, and may very well be the most thorough historical investigation on the subject ever presented.
It is also the only program ever created that offers a re-examination of the history of Sound from a matrifocal perspective, showing the limitations of a biased patriarcal model of history on our understanding of the role of Sound, Trance and Dance in healing, spirituality, philosophy and the very basis of our human culture.
