A Gong Camp Retreat at Menla Mountain Retreat Center

From Baba Don's own words:
"Come to your first retreat......as a student
Come to your second retreat....as an apprentice
Come to your third retreat.....as a Journeyman
Be not satisfied until you are a 3 or 4 in all 18 Areas
Then tell Don he can retire.

If one student wishes to become a Master Gong Journeyman they must teach teachers to teach teachers, and not distort the teachings of the gong."

We are now organizing our yearly Gong Retreat with the teacher of teachers, known as the Grand Gong Master, Don Conreaux. This is an opportunity and an invitation for all of you Sound Healers and yogis wanting to embody the science of Nada Yoga, and study Gong Kriya, Gong Yoga, as Master Don was one of the five original Kundalini Yoga Teachers designated by Yogi Bhajan in 1969. Turning 83-years old in September, this will be his last year of extensive travelling as he brings to a close this era of his work. 
    We are proud and honored to announce, Gong Master Don will be teaching and giving transmission at Menla for our tenth retreat, in the land of the medicine buddha. As such, I'm giving everyone in our immediate "Sage circle" a heads up and opportunity to reserve their space and experience a truly memorable Sound Healing retreat.
This retreat is not just for the advanced professional sound-healer, or the ongoing student of gong yoga, or for just the practicing healing musician, but it is also for those who simply wish to be introduced to the self-realizing and healing power of the gong.
