BRIGHTON SOUND

So I've been attending the 1hr long gong bath and drone bath sessions on and off with Matt and Petra and I always wanted to come along to the all night session. I finally had the chance this weekend and it was amazing. I wanted to share what happened here in case you are thinking about it and not sure what to expect ... here goes:Thank you Matt and Petra for holding the space at the Full Moon All Night Sound Bath Puja that we attended on Saturday. It was beautiful.For people who haven’t been before, here’s what you can expect.We arrived just before 10pm with all our bedding and immediately felt super excited upon entering into such a stunning place; low lighting, warm, welcoming. All the gongs and bowls were set up in the middle and Matt and Petra were there to welcome us.I was worried about being cold in the night but the room was all toasty warm. We could see the full moon outside the huge beautiful windows. I was excited!We made up our bedding and got settled in. The ceremony was opened with some house-keeping and a warm welcome from Petra and Matt, explaining everything we might need to experience. It felt a very well held and safe space to be in. Everything was super comfortable and for us. If you wanted to have herbal teas or move around or meditate or anything throughout the night you could. We, however, just snuggled down and enjoyed listening to and feeling the power of the sound in the room; it was captivating.Once the ceremony started, Petra and Matt sang and chanted which was just just stunning. Then it was the crystal bowls and gongs and all the other instruments; gently making a resonance around the room and in and our our bodies. I was aware of tingles and sensations, sometimes great heat in different parts of my body. The resonance or vibrations were actually moving through me at different times, which was interesting to observe and incredibly relaxing at the same time.We drifted in and out of sleep throughout the night. Each time I came to, it was magical to see and hear the prayer and sound work continuing on by candlelight through the night, as well as feeling it snuggly envelope us with sound. I had been worried it would get annoying at some point and I'd just want to sleep, but that never happened at all. It was just so lovely that I wanted the night to go for longer!At one point my partner and I woke at the same time and the full moon was shining brightly upon us in through the huge windows. Completely stunning and magical! It was very blissful to soak up that moment, while being moon and sound bathed at the same time.All in all the whole night felt deeply nourishing. So primal to connect into the night time in this particular and gentle way.In the morning it was a slow and gentle re-awakening, which slightly different sounds and tinkles. There was tea and fruit and space to chat if you wanted. We felt deeply peaceful and contented and when it was time we packed up our bedding and sloped off home, enjoying the early morning quiet and sunrise. The magical bubble of awareness, feeling present, held, connected into something greater than ourselves, was deeply moving and I will absolutely be back again.Thank you Matt and Petra for sharing yourselves and this work with us all; it clearly comes from your heart and soul this work and I feel really blessed you are here in Brighton and I can access this so readily. Thank you xx

I had a sound bath in November. It was a very interesting experience. I would do it again

An hour in the Tile House, experiencing a sound bath is the highlight of my week. It doesn't matter if I'm feeling tired, grumpy or happy, as soon as the sound begins I am lost in a wonderful sensation of peace and relaxation. The time passes so quickly and I could stay there for another hour. Petra and Matt are such lovely people, calm and caring and full of love for the world and its beings. I genuinely believe everyone should experience this wonderful place and the lovely Petra and Matt
