The Deep Space Experience with John Minks
About this Retreat
Your Guides
Details of this retreat
His immersive journeys are far beyond a traditional “sound bath.” John weaves an exquisite orchestration of rare instruments — including gongs, crystalline resonators, handpans, flutes, khomus, Tibetan bowls, shruti box, and other instruments — to sculpt a living soundscape that recalibrates the nervous system and awakens the subtle energetic body.
As the founder and craftsman behind his own boutique gong mallet company, John has spent years designing and handcrafting the very tools he performs with. This unique relationship between maker, musician, and instrument allows him to draw out an extraordinary spectrum of harmonic overtones, subtle textures, and dynamic frequencies rarely heard in conventional sound experiences. His custom-crafted mallets become an extension of his artistry, unlocking the full expressive voice of each gong and creating performances that are as nuanced as they are transformative.
This is sound as molecular massage — a highly orchestrated, multidimensional experience that gently dissolves mental noise, unlocks deep cellular intelligence, and evokes profound states of peace, vision, and renewal.
Doors close ay 7 pm. Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time.

Module 1: The Fundamental Principles of Sound Healing – from Ancient Shamanic Traditions to New Science
The weekend was filled with insightful teachings on sound healing, blending ancient wisdom with emerging scientific understanding. The small class size created a beautifully intimate and safe space where we could freely explore, experiment, and support one another in our learning journey.
Leah, Emma and Nick are incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply committed to sharing this healing art.
A full weekend of learning, healing, and connection. Highly recommended for anyone called to the path of sound healing.
