All-Night GONG MAGIC for IMBOLC 2024

Our second all-night GONG PUJA in the Magic Space Hilltop Yurt was held to celebrate a joyful Imbolc 2024, ushering in the new energies of the rising spring.... and lengthening days as we move on from the darkest days of winter. We met the instruments, learning techniques to play the 3 beautiful gongs present for the puja, prepared the space, ourselves and the instruments, and had a little rest time before the puja began. What a beautiful night - each person playing in their own unique style with self-mastery and presence making up for any apparent newness to playing! The Hilltop Studio provided an alternative space for quiet reflection, Japanese tea ceremony and snacks, and oracle cards. And the yurt was as warm and cosy and candlelit with solar fairy lights and super-comfy beds all round. The morning offered the deepest sweet sleep imaginable. And we woke gently for a lazy lat super-breakfast and a slow pack-down, ambling into the middle of the day before drifting away to walk, rest and play on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Ready for the next time ....... YES!
