Discover the magic of gongs

Established in 1995, GMT exists to harness the transformative power of sound therapy through gongs and other instruments. Our mission revolves around spiritual growth, self-healing, and the empowerment of practitioners to serve their communities. We have several carefully created courses on offer, all designed with the aim to deepen participants' connection with the gong and its ability to facilitate profound transformation, creating a ripple effect of positivity and balance.
