A new experience, a little room in everyday life
On October 17, Love & Peace Space hosted an immersive aroma and gong experience in Richmond. Participants came together with curiosity, setting aside an autumn afternoon for breathing, listening and simply being present.
Beginning with aroma and breathing, we closed our eyes and noticed each breath. There was no need to accomplish anything or rush to interpret a feeling—just a chance to slow the everyday pace.
Finding a pause between sounds
A gong, singing bowls and candlelight formed the setting for the experience. Participants first sat together to listen, then lay down comfortably, with their bodies supported.
There were changing sounds, and moments when those sounds gradually gave way to quiet. The afternoon made room for rest, awareness and time spent in one another’s company.
Taking a little ease home
After the experience, the gathering continued around the tea table. Tea, refreshments and smiles brought the afternoon back into the warmth of everyday conversation.
The event has ended, but its moments can remain with us: a new experience in life, and a little space to pause. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Love & Peace Space.
Thank you to everyone who shared these moments with us.
