Life in Glastonbury, the earths heart chakra. | London Gong Baths – Sound Bath and Gong Bath Meditation in London and Glastonbury

Update 2024. Glastonbury gong baths are at least fortnightlyISH and sometimes weekly. Click on the link to Gong and Sound baths in Glastonbury calendar and bookings.

I now live the best life I can spending my time between London and Glastonbury (my spiritual home) in Somerset. I moved to Glastonbury in Somerset last year in 2022, a town that I have been visiting for 25+ years but I had no intentions of moving here!! yet here I am!! A story for another time.

I am now based in both London and Glastonbury as I visit London frequently to visit family and run my public and corporate gong baths and laughter yoga events. I love to spend time with my mum who will be 90 this year! a mum who shares many of my spiritual interests. In September this year, my mum and I will be attending a week long shamanic course at the Arthur Findlay College. If you read my bio, you will see I have trained in advanced shamanic pathways at Caer Corhrain Shamanic centre in Kent. I am personally very drawn to the shamanic path and you can journey with the gong as you can with the drum.

I love how the gong is open to all, a non denominational practice which almost everyone can benefit from regardless of their beliefs. The therapeutic instruments help you to relax deeply and therefore feel less stressed, almost like a reset for mind, body and soul. You can read more about What is a Gong Bath ? by clicking on the link. I would suggest you have a read up on my reviews too.

I have been blessed to arrive here in Glastonbury at a time in my life where I have been able to literally press the pause button and enjoy feeling my way in to my new life, in to the land in a new town without the need to worry too much about working apart from maintaining my existing gong baths in London Angel which have been mostly filling up effortlessly. I thank the universe for aiding me with this transition.

This little town is very much waking up from the winter with more people visiting. I feel it is time to look for a venue so that I can offer my work here in my new town. It has been a wonderful to experience the turning of the wheel, the changing of the seasons. I arrived just in time for Autumn equinox, felt the wind-down to the winter, and the waking up to the Spring. We are very much in tune here with the seasons which are celebrated and there is a deep appreciation for the land from wassailing in the apple orchards to the various celtic festivals which align with the changing seasons.

I am now available for private retreats in Glastonbury so feel free to be in contact to book me for any retreats you are holding in Glastonbury.

I am still personally facilitating sessions in London, usually on the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month and I also work with other very highly experienced gong masters and facilitators for private and corporate wellbeing events when I am in Glastonbury.

I may write more about my journey that had me land in Glastonbury also known as the Isle of Avalon. A town steeped in myth, magic and legends.

Here this is a very important part of my own journey allowing me to grow both spiritually and creatively as I find myself attending many events and exploring new creative pursuits. Living in nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city is deeply nurturing for me in every way possible and definitely what my soul has been yearning for.

Update… And now as I pick up where I left off on this yet to be published post, We are mid June, it feels like Summer here in Glastonbury and I am very excited to soon be offering public gong baths and sound journeys in Glastonbury. I will be at the beautiful Avalon room upstairs in The Courtyard on the High Street next door to the beautiful goddess temple. You can catch me there on Thursday evenings with a choice of an early or late evening gong bath. I will also be offering a laughter yoga session for the early slot on the last Thursday in the month.

If you are visiting Glastonbury, I also organise occasional social walks in the town which usually finish off with a refreshment stop in the town. More info at https://www.meetup.com/glastonbury/

See you soon either in London Angel on a Saturday or Glastonbury on a Thursday.

I absolutely love Odette’s gong baths and grateful to have found her ‘coincidentally’ a while back now. It’s a magical experience every time I go, and I can honestly say that this is one for the Soul. Healing and wonderful.Thank you Odette.

I came across London Gong Meditation on Instagram last year and I’ve been attending Gong baths in Camden ever since. I absolutely LOVE the sessions and how I feel after them. It’s the most relaxing practice that I’ve found - a truly blissful 75 minutes that I’ve struggled to get anywhere else ☺️ I always feel at peace, in tune with myself and ready to face the weeks ahead after a gong bath and I always have a wonderful nights sleep.You’re made to feel welcome, at home, and like you’re surrounded by friends from the moment you arrive at the studio. Everyone is always so friendly and each time I’ve attended, I’ve met lovely people downstairs whilst waiting to be let into the studio. My first Gong bath, I convinced a friend to come with me as I didn’t feel confident enough to go alone - I had a fear that I might have to do something that I didn’t know how to do and would look a fool - How wrong I was! The beauty of this practice is that you don’t have to do anything except relax and enjoy it! After my first session I knew I’d be able to attend my next session alone - and I haven’t looked back since. Odette is amazing and plays all of the instruments beautifully - Anyone thinking of giving Gong bath meditation a go, absolutely should 🙏🏼

I bought the gong sleep meditation just before Christmas and have played it a few times over the holidays. I have found it really works as I have slept very well each time. It also feels deeply healing and the recording is a good length.

Really great experience - relaxing, meditative and healing. I also experienced an un-blocking of creativity afterwards and felt very inspired. Other positive effects have been improved sleep, reduced pain & good dreams!

It is a very enjoyable experience, relaxing and definitely healing! I have a back injury that requires seeing my Osteopath regularly, she has been unwell in the last couple of months and turns out my now regular Gong baths are helping immensely! Thank you Odette Lightland

Recently received a gong and sound bath by Odette. Being surrounded by these vibrations made my body feel kind of realigned afterwards. Very relaxing experience. I also enjoyed the variety of sounds throughout. Can only recommend the experience ☺️

This was my first gong bath experience and I really enjoyed it. Odette created an ambient space to lay and let the beautiful sound wash over you - so relaxing! I slept deeply afterwards and felt great the following day. Eye masks and mats were provided which really helped with getting into meditation during the session. I'll definitely be attending one of Odette's slightly longer events soon!
