Join us in Magical Nipton, California for a night of sound healing in the beautiful Mojave Desert. Mind, body & spirit will be explored and activated under the guidance of our deeply experienced sound bath facilitators.
What is a gong sound bath you might be wondering? The gong is one of the most powerful therapeutic instrument. It has been used throughout history for healing and meditation, dating as far back as 16,000 B.C. in some accounts. The vibration created by a gong is known as a gong bath. It creates an ocean of sound that is profoundly relaxing. Water has often been used as an example for the rippling effect caused by the gong’s vibrations, partially because our bodies are approximately 70 percent water. The ripples created by the gong’s sound gently reverberates over, around and through the entire body to calm, relax and soothe. Typically, the listener’s heart rate slows, blood pressure drops and breath is restored to its natural rhythm. The gong induces a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and wholeness. Its the most profound experience!
If you haven't been to Nipton yet, it's the perfect location for a gong sound bath! To get to Nipton, just put the "Nipton Trading Post" in your GPS. The trading post is also where you will check-in to get your sound bath ticket. Nipton is a very small western mining town that was founded in 1905. It still has its old mining town charm, but with a modern day twist. There is a very cute trading post, a deliciuos restaurant/bar, large burning man art installations, a small historic hotel, eco-cabins, container homes and stunning fully-furnished tipis. The town is located 10 miles off of interstate 15 at the California/Nevada state line (50 min from Las Vegas).

The sound bath begins just after sunset, but arrive early to check out the town and its art in the daylight. Sunsets in Nipton are breathtaking! There is also wonderful food and drinks in the restaurant. During the winter months, the sound bath takes place inside Nipton's historic school house. For the rest of the year, sound baths are held inside of a 26 foot tipis. Space is limited to 20 guests per sound bath and they always sell out.
You will be sitting for the first 30 minutes and then in shavasana for the remaining time. The more comfortable you are, the better, so you will want to bring a floor mat and/or pillows and blankets. A detailed email will also be sent to you prior to the sound bath.
After the sound bath, the group usually hangs out and stargazes at the communal fire pit. Nipton's remote location is free from all light pollution, offering guests stunning views of the heavenly night sky.
Overnight accommodations are available (campsite, tipi, cabin or hotel room) and are handled separately through the Nipton website --- www.nipton.com
We cant wait to see you in Nipton for an unforgettable evening.
