An Indian Tipi As
 
A Workshop Space

Here at gong camp we like to be different, this is one of the workshop spaces, an Indian tipi, nothing against a marquee apart from them being too square and normal.

We live on a round World, we play round gongs and drums, so I do feel that at gong camp the workshop spaces should be round. There will be two tipis on camp used as workshop spaces and night time sleeping.

Camp Directions


Directions

By car– Using the google link below you can find direction from your location.

coordinates: 50.965787, -3.461503

https://www.google.com/maps

Unnamed Rd, Tiverton EX16 7QJ, UK

The directions on google maps will lead you to the entrance of Coombe Farm when using EX16 7QJ, however a sat nav will get you to about 50 metres before throwing you off route. To avoid this ignore the turning off when you reach Van Post and continue on 50 metres and Coombe Farm is the next turning on the left. 

The address is Coombe Farm, Cove, Tiverton Devon EX16 7RU (please dont use this post code in your sat nav) Please use EX16 7QJ in your sat nav which will get you very close to Coombe Farm.

Parking  - is at the bottom and to the sides of the steep concrete track. Park at right angles to the track, leaving plenty of space between each car, and try not to obstruct the turning circle. The camping field is a car free zone. It has level camping terraces and access to them is by foot.

By Train – Tiverton Parkway is the nearest station from where there are occasional busses to Tiverton.

Collection From Tiverton Parkway or Bus Station - We are happy to collect anyone arriving from Tiverton Parkway train station or Tiverton bus station. 

 

 

In Brief

gong camp starts on Friday 6th July from 2.00pm and finishes on Sunday 8th July at 2.00pm.

There will be a guided tour of Coombe farm at 5.00pm on Friday so attendees can get an idea of the layout of camp and they would then have the opportunity to explore some more during the rest of the weekend. 

We will have a sound workshop/talk on the Friday evening and some entertainment.

On Saturday, there will be a variety of workshops and gong meditations.

The all night gong bath will carry us through Saturday night into Sunday morning.

On Sunday we will have a workshop in the morning and after lunch the camp will come to a close.

Meals

 

Good wholesome and nutritious vegetarian/vegan meals are included during the weekend (mostly organic) and some special diets can be catered for if requested in advance. Teas, coffee, spring water and healthy snacks will be freely available from the field kitchen.
Special diets are considered as those who genuine need to avoid some foods i.e. Celiacs, nut allergy suffers etc. The term I use “special diet” do not mean diet preference i.e. no mushrooms ,peppers etc.

 

Friday Afternoon/Evening

A guided tour of Coombe farm at 5.00pm a nice gentle stroll in the countryside and a great start to Sound Camp 2018. After the evening meal there will be a sound therapy workshop/talk. There will also be some light entertainment later in the evening.

Saturday Workshops

During the morning, there will be three workshop sessions of between 1-1.5 hours.  You will be able to choose from a number of different workshops that will be running - mainly sound therapy based workshops but also dance, yoga, and tai chi. There will be a further three workshop sessions in the afternoon and since most of the morning workshops will be repeated then, you will be able to attend up to six different workshops during the day. Workshop leaders will have the opportunity to attend four workshops during the day.

There will also be a gong bath tent where you are welcome to give or receive gong baths throughout the weekend (except during the all night gong bath).  Please avoid starting a gong bath near mealtimes as hot meals cannot be reserved.

Saturday all night Sound bath
The Sound bath will commence at 9pm and can be over 10 hours of unbroken sound. this will start with other instruments and move into a gong bath.
Anyone who wishes to play the gongs may do so, each player completing 30 minutes.
The first three hours will be other instruments and a designated slot for gong playing beginners.
Beginners will be able to pair up with experienced players.
Ten hours is a long time to be lying down.  Therefore the first three hours will be very casual; people can lie down for as long as they wish and have the freedom to get up and join others near the campfire, drink tea etc but keeping a silence so as to not disturb those who are lying down.  
At midnight everyone attending will settle down for the night. 
Maintaining silence throughout the gong bath is essential.

Sunday

After breakfast - A group workshop (2Hours)

Sunday afternoon - After lunch the camp will draw to a close.

 

Workshop Agenda

During each dedicated workshop slot there will be three workshops running in different areas of the camp. There is a thirty minutes gap between workshop times just in case workshops run over the hour.
Attendees are free to choose what workshops to participate in. Most of the Saturday workshops are repeated in the afternoon to give everyone a chance to attend all of the workshops offered.

Why Gong Camp?
I created gong camp around my interests, gongs/sound therapy, environmentally friendly low impact living and good nutrition.
Sound camp is different, i call it a retreat from modern life as its in the countryside, the campsite is off grid and in a valley so no electro magnetic stress from phones, wi fi and electricity.
I consider it the perfect place to practice sound therapy activities, consume good nutritious meals and have a joyful weekend.
There are no expectations of how attendees participate; those attending may join in whichever activities appeal and are also free to take time out to relax or explore the beautiful surroundings.

 Those who attend pay one fee of £150 per person and this covers everything for the three days:  camping facilities, meals, snacks, teas, coffee, spring water, and entertainment. There are no ‘hidden’ extras.

The Camp Fire

Sawn up firewood is provided for the camp fire so collecting of dead wood is not encouraged.

The main camp fire is the only camp fire to be lit, please be responsible around it.

No candles at sound camp, especially in your tents; torches are the safest form of lighting.

 

Coombe Farm

Please feel free to use the network of paths and tracks around the farm, but kindly respect the privacy of residents around the farm buildings.

Coombe farm is largely a reserve for nature and I would ask you to be aware of this whatever you do.

Please enjoy yourselves.

Belen Prado

I have been teaching Native American flute workshops in Bristol for about a year and a half. I have flutes for students and I can have maximum ten people per workshop. This workshop is for people who have never played the flute before and for the ones who have been playing on their own but don’t feel very confident. It is not necessary to know music in advanced as it is a very simple instrument and easy to play. This beginner workshop is an introduction to the Native American flute and the main objective is to get familiar with the instrument. The workshop is quite practical but you will also learn about its origins, the way it works and its benefits. At the end of the workshop people will be able to improvise their own music.

Everyone will have ten minutes to play the gongs and I will then finish off with a 30 or 45 minute gong bath to give attendees the experience of my way of playing.

I very much encourage those who want to play the gongs to find their own personal technique.

Things to bring

Gong camp is a weekend retreat held in the countryside. I am supplying most things so that you do not have to bring very much with you.

Below is a list of essential things that you would need:-

Change of clothes.

Soap, flannel, towel, toothbrush etc.

Tent, sleeping bag, pillow.

Boots, waterproofs.

And a torch.

own water vessel – a closed lid beaker.

A few spare tents will be on camp for those who are unable to bring a tent.

Coombe Farm is not a flat ground camp site, so a hill climb is necessary when packing up. Wheel barrows are available to help you transport your belongings to and from the camping area. Reasonable assistance will be available where time and opportunity permits. It is advisable therefore to keep your brought belongings to a minimum.

In A Nut Shell

Gong camp is held in the Mid Devon countryside at an off-grid eco camp.

Nutritious vegetarian/vegan meals are included; some special diets can be catered for if requested at time of booking.

Gong camp has been set up to give gong and sound enthusiasts the opportunity to come together for a weekend to share gong and sound activities.

The aim is to have a mini-break from the demands of modern living – to enjoy being with like-minded people in a natural environment.

Just one fee to pay - no hidden extras. There is nothing for sale at gong camp.

No hard work involved, gong camp will be a very relaxed weekend retreat for those attending.

CPD Hours

Most sound therapy training organisations request that you carry out a number of hours of Continuing Personal Development (CPD) per year to keep your qualification current or to stay a member of the organisation.

You should be able to gain CPD hours during gong camp as there will be several sound therapy workshops running and an all night sound bath.

I have calculated that there are approx 20 hours that can be validly submitted for CPD hours.
