Unwind before the Holidays Each year to express our gratitude for the Soulful Prairies community, we host a Thanksgiving gong event. Join Linda to rebalance before the holidays with the magic of the gong, horses and five hundred candles, a beautiful and peaceful way to begin the holiday season.  When we are in an optimal state of physical and mental health, all of the systems in our body are working in harmony. Sound can be an effective way to reprogram our own vibrations to a more optimal state. The gong’s sounds and vibrations have a quick effect on the brain and the body. They move us from our awake (Beta) state to a more relaxed and calm (Alpha) state, then to a restful (Theta) state and finally to a deeply relaxing meditative (Delta) state. Details: Event is held in the Arena and is not heated or air-conditioned so please wear appropriate clothing Maximum participants - 50 Please bring blanket, pillow and whatever you need to be comfortable
