But where does this magical Gong Puja tradition come from?
Grand gong master and our teacher – Don Conreaux received wisdom from his teacher, Yogi Bhajan: 10 consecutive 40-minute gong baths could shift any blockage. Don combined these treatments into an all-night session, infused with ceremony and reverence.
The term “puja” originates from India, where ceremonies mark various traditional and family occasions, as well as honour specific deities. In daily life, pujas are conducted in homes and temples. They remind us that to connect with the divine or our highest self, we need conscious, symbolic actions that bypass our ego mind—devotion plays a crucial role.
What happens at Equinox Gong Ceremony?
During the Gong Puja, we’ll use gongs as instruments to access a place of divine connection and healing. We create a sacred space (a gong temple), cleansing the energetic environment, and incorporating chanting, breathwork, and seasonal symbolism. Multiple players rotate, ensuring continuous meditative gong sounds.
The sheer volume of vibration absorbed during the puja is transformative. At a cellular level, the gong breaks up blockages and removes toxins. Energetically, it restores balance to the subtle body, enhancing the flow of prana (life force). Mentally and emotionally, the gong facilitates subconscious cleansing and spiritual insight.
As for what the Gong Puja will offer you, it’s a mystery. As you surrender to the soothing sounds, you may find yourself entering a state of profound meditation or experiencing a profound sleep like no other, where you are awake in a dream.
Benefits of participating in gong puja
During a gong puja, the benefits of a regular gong bath are amplified. By immersing yourself in the sound vibrations of a gong, you have the opportunity to heal, rebuild, unlock, and address mental, emotional, and physical issues.
Being in a theta state of deep relaxation and mental clarity, you may experience a profound sense of tranquillity and good health.
Additionally, a gong puja can boost energy and vitality. Participants have reported feeling refreshed and prepared to tackle the day, even if they didn’t sleep well during the puja night.

Event overview
We will begin the evening with a calming tea ceremony, a moment to ground ourselves and connect as a group.
This will be followed by a guided shamanic drumming meditation, crafted to honour the equinox, ground ourselves and support intention-setting for the months ahead.
As the night unfolds, the sacred sounds of the gongs will carry us on a 7.5-hour gong journey into deep rest and inner alignment. The continuous vibrations create a nurturing space for reflection, healing, and connection to the cycles of nature.
In the morning, as the sun rises, we will gently transition back into the day with a simple Sun Saluting Yoga practice to awaken the body and welcome the energy of the new season.
Afterward, we’ll share light refreshments and take time to reflect together on the night’s experiences, creating a space to connect, integrate, and honour the journey we’ve shared.
We’ll finish by 8AM.
