Deep Gong Meditation is a unique wholistic method of healing developed by Dr. Romy Valdez that is based on the science and technology of “sound as teacher”. The training includes didactic discussions and readings as well as experiencing Dr. Valdez’s method of Deep Gong Meditation as a mental, physical and spiritual path to ongoing health and well-being.

The curriculum is divided into 3 modules with each module occurring in one 4-hour block of time. The first two training modules involve learning the technical aspects of gong strokes in relationship to the physical landscape of the gong. These modules focus on mastery of the strokes, type of mallets used, and the sounds produced. The third module is when each student begins to learn how to compose a healing soundscape based on the purpose of the gong meditation. This module emphasizes an understanding of those participating in the gong meditation as well as “holding space” for the individual or the group-as-a-whole.

In 2020, Dr. Valdez will offer a Deep Gong Meditation Master Class where the student will learn the subtle and esoteric nuances involved in developing an all-encompassing relationship with the gong in order to translate the language of sound so that the participants receive a profound transformative experience. The Deep Gong Meditation Training Program is a pre-requisite of the Master Class along with other specific requirements.

Welcome to the beginning of the ongoing journey of becoming a gong-master!
