Sage Academy of Sound: BREATHING DOWN THE MOON: A GONG BATH CEREMONY with Lea Garnier and Sage Sangha

“No one can resist the power of a gong played well” Baba Don Conreaux A tone of fullness, when suspended in acoustic space, feeds back upon itself. This looping of sound volume is called nesting, and it finds its center of balance in 4th dimensional space, in a non-dimension of No Time. Any sound that is "fattened," made fuller and suspended in time, takes on a more holistic quality of resonance, continuously spilling more of itself into the acoustic volume of space until it attains its fullness potential. Bathing in this space, the overtones of the gongs feed us until we reach a state of Holistic Resonance. We can sense the feeling of our own body transform into a feeling of no body as we surrender to the gongs and allow them to do their work. There is a paranormal sense of levitation, timelessness and bliss that can be experienced, along with a consciousness of detachment, compassion and peace.

Join CCE Ulster for its 2025 Annual Meeting on December 11th at 6 p.m. at our office on 232 Plaza Road, Kingston, NY 12401, along with a panel with local food systems professionals to discuss food insecurity in Ulster County. There is a snow date of December 16th in case of inclement weather. In Ulster County, food prices continue to increase and pressures - such as climate change and socio-economic shifts - continue to challenge our local food system. 23,310 people in Ulster County are food insecure including 4,570 children. We know that in the last six years, more of our neighbors are seeking assistance at food pantries, soup kitchens, and other charities throughout the Hudson Valley. How can we get more local, healthy food to local people? How can we ensure that no one in Ulster County needs to worry about where their next meal will come from? During our Annual Meeting, CCE Ulster's Healthy Communities Senior Resource Educator, Ninette Warner, will moderate a panel discussion that will grapple with these questions. Kristin Kessler (Ulster County Department of Health), Bryn Roshong (Crop Shop), and Devon Wood (Kingston Emergency Food Collaborative), will discuss the challenges and opportunities that we, as a community, have to increase access to the fresh, local food for local people. The Annual Meeting will also include a short session of official business at the beginning of the meeting. This official business will include brief words from our Executive Director, Melanie Forstrom, nominations of new board members, and a special Friend of Extension acknowledgment. All meeting attendees will receive a limited-edition CCE Ulster tote bag. Light refreshments from local businesses will be provided.

The Crystal Pyramid form is a statement of perfection and balance. It is one of the highest geometrical shapes found on the physical plane. It represents conscious connection with the infinite source of energy at the apex, and complete groundedness and physical stability at the base. They are symbolic of the ultimate balance that each soul must achieve to complete its evolutionary process. The sound of Crystal Singing bowls induces deep cellular healing within the meditation state. Crystal vibrations reduce stress, reconnect us to our higher spirit, massage the body, and also helps to restore balance and align our mind-heart-cosmic connection.A reflecting sound bath is taking place during the New Moon. The New Moon represents a time for new beginnings, introspection, and setting intentions. It is a powerful phase for planting seeds—both literally and metaphorically—inviting transformation, fresh starts, and renewed focus.
