A meditation in sound. The Vibrations from a range of gongs envelop you in a bath-like way, helping your mind and body relax, reset and rejuvenate. Local Gong specialist Karen Haylor creates a musical outpouring of fascinating tone chaos that is uniquely pleasing to the mind and pleasurably felt by our human body.

An informal radio round table format for conversation, story sharing and connection. The theme is ‘belonging’ - what it means to be part of something, to create a sense of belonging and what happens when that’s missing. Take part in the conversation or just come and have a coffee and listen in.
