SOUND RELAXATION The epicentre of what we do here at Valinor. Join us. Relax, sit or lie back, as we take you on a soul soothing journey of epic proportions. Across a soundscape of colour & light. Transported to another time, another world, another place, on the waves of these extraordinary instruments... Pure Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls. Cosmic Gongs. Gemstone & Quartz Singing Bowls. Timeless Tibetan Singing Bowls. The Crystal Lyre, Crystal Pyramids. The Mighty Thunder Drum. The Ocean Drum. Enormous Tuned Chimes. Rain Sticks. Rattles. Bells. Thunder Tube and more... Enter the portal. Align with the heartbeat of the earth. Travel across the plains, through the forest, over the mountains to the ocean. Dive deep beneath the waves, swim with the whales, listen to their mystical voices. Fly high into the sky and out into the magical universe. Experience the birth of stars, feel the very sounds of creation itself. Tinkling fairy chimes & bells, return you to the centre of your own heart. This is an experience you will not forget and you will wish it never had to end... No amplification. No electronics. Just the pure tones of the amazing instruments. Sound bathing helps to heal your body by reducing stress & anxiety, impacts the human nervous system and decreases blood pressure, helps tune out your thoughts to make beneficial meditation easier, assists connection to inner self to access healing & insight, makes you more relaxed, balanced & focussed.
THUNDER DRUM DREAMING & CHI-MOVES Thunder Drum Dreaming...We gather around the Mighty Thunder Drum on the outside deck and grass. Sit or lie down and give yourself to the earthy, rhythmic beat that echoes the source of our true nature and joins us to the heartbeat of the earth.  Thus, we enter Thunder Drum Dreaming. The drum unites all people as one.  A 30 minute drum journey that features the Thunder Drum. American Indian style hand held Drums. Rattles and  Rainsticks. Harmonic Whirlies. Drum Journeying is believed to assist one to reconnect to one's inner self, enhance our self empowerment and creative expression, enables ability to gain insight to personal issues to access help & personal healing, heighten our sense of life purpose.   Chi-Moves...Prepare, centre & ground your body and mind with these Tai Chi type movements & conscious breath. Gather Chi, Circulate Chi, Bridge between Heaven & Earth, Float Away. The American Indian Gathering of the Directions. Just 15 minutes is all it takes. So simple & easy that anyone can do it. "Movement in Beauty. Light on the feet. Joy in the heart." "If one is only half breathing, one is only half alive..." *If the weather is bad we will enjoy Thunder Drum Dreaming and Chi-Moves on the enclosed verandah.
THE PYRAMID ROOM Make sure you arrive with plenty of time to experience the healing energies of our pyramid room, or visit it at the end of the retreat before you head home. Built some years ago now, the pyramid was created to scaled sacred geometric specifications of the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Pyramids have long been known to emit mystical healing & uplifting energies. Sacred Geometry, along with Sacred Sound are the expressions of the creative universe. We have chairs & cushions in there for your comfort. There is even a small crystal singing bowl that may be played gently by our guests. We ask that silence is maintained while in the pyramid out of respect toward those who are meditating & reflecting quietly. "Pyramid Meditation is believed to achieve deeper meditation, improve eyesight & hearing, lower high blood pressure, relieve insomnia, arthritis & headaches, faster healing for sores & broken bones, improves memory & increase confidence levels, increase energy levels, balance hormones, improves concentration & understanding"  You are welcome to try it for yourself.
DINING AT VALINOR After your Sound Session, enter our Dining Room & enjoy a delicious & nutritious home cooked vegetarian meal that is created here at Valinor.  Included in all Public Retreats & may be added as an option with Private Retreats. The meal consists of tasty Vegetarian Soup of the day, home baked specialty Bread of the day, gorgeous Cake/Dessert and a Hot Beverage of your choice from the menu of our Mini Cafe Bar.
