Coming Tuesday—5 Gongs & a Labyrinth

The Earth is You. You are the Earth.
When you realize there is no separation, you fall completely in love with this beautiful planet!

5:30 – 7:30 pm

We often forget that the planet we are living on has given us all the elements that make up our bodies. The water in our flesh, our bones and all the microscopic cells inside our bodies all come from the earth and are part of the earth. The earth is not just the environment we live in. We are the earth and we are always carrying her within us.

As we mindfully walk on the labyrinth we can send our love to our Mother Earth with every step. How do we do this? There are many ways. When we practice beautifully walking the path, we massage the earth with our feet and plant seeds of joy with each step. We can visualize flowers blooming under each step the moment our foot touches the ground leaving behind beautiful fields of flowers everywhere we walk. Imagine kissing the earth with your feet. The possibilities are endless!!

To further enhance the experience, you will be walking among the the mysterious sounds and vibrations of Gongs, Singing Bowls and other mystical instruments. This is a great visceral reminder that everything in the universe is vibrating and the vibrations we send out affect the whole.

Sending this blessing in community reminds us of our powerful connection to each other and to the earth. Even though the labyrinth at St. Paul’s is indoors, we can still feel the connection to the earth beneath the floor. I hope you will join us on this special day!

Come to the Parish Hall between 5:30 and 7:00 pm. Being fashionably late will help create a more spacious walk. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the walk. Chairs will be available for you to sit and enjoy.

Blessings,
Jamie

Save the date & the Big Kahuna

Please save Tuesday, April 22, 2025, for the Earth Day Labyrinth and Gong Song!!!
It will be at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church from 5:30 – 7:30pm. More details soon.

THE BIG NEWS 🥁 is I will be bringing my 40” gong I affectionately call the ”Big Kahuna”! I recently purchased a portable stand for it, so now the Big Kahuna can join in the soundscape! (I will still be bringing the other 4 gongs you have seen/heard/felt before.)

Thich Nhat Hahn said, “When we practice walking meditation beautifully, we massage the earth with our feet and plant seeds of joy and happiness with each step.” I hope to see you on the Path of the Labyrinth!

Blessings,
Jamie

Labyrinth & Gong Song February

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall
224 N East Ave., Fayetteville, AR
Tuesday, February 11, 2025
5:30 – 7:30 pm

We invite you to join us for the February Labyrinth Walk and Gong Song.  February is Black History Month and Valentines Day.  This is the perfect opportunity to contemplate love and compassion for ourselves and those who are different from us.

The Labyrinth is a powerful spiritual tool whose path leads us to our own center—back to our soul—that deep, quiet, knowing sense within.  Unlike a maze where there are confusing intersections and dead ends, the Labyrinth is an ancient tool that allows participants to relax and simply follow the well defined path in to the center and back out again.   When walked in community, it is a reminder that though we may be in different places in our lives (along the path), we walk a shared path. 

To further enhance the experience, you will be walking among the mysterious sounds and vibrations of Gongs, Singing Bowls and other musical metals.  In this safe,  contemplative and relaxed state it is possible to connect to the Spirit of Love that enlivens us all!

Come to the Parish Hall between 5:30 and 7:00 pm.  Being fashionably late will help create a more spacious walk.  It takes about 30 minutes to complete the walk, and chairs will be available for you to sit and enjoy.

Blessings,

Mary Miller and Jamie White

Warm Body, Mind and Spirit

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the Parish Hall is warm and delightful!!!

Please join us walking the Labyrinth in community while contemplating the inspiring messages of Dr. Martin Luther King. As you walk, the soothing sounds and vibrations of the Gongs and Singing Bowls will wash over you. Come any time between 6 – 8 pm for this heart warming gathering.

”Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

New Gong & Workshop

A few days ago I went to Memphis to attend a Sound Mediation with Mike Tamburo. It was amazing!!!

The next day I had a private Sound Journey with Nancy Pettit, co-owner of the Memphis Drum Shop & Gong Chamber. That was amazing too!!!

Then, I was taken on a magical shopping trip in the Gong Chamber with Jim Pettit, the other co-owner. I choose a 34” Paiste Symphonic gong that sounds wonderful with my 32” Wind gong that you are so familiar with.

This Saturday, 11/11, I will debut the new gong along with my other gongs, singing bowls, bells etc. at the Arkansas Yoga Center, Kundalini Yoga and Gong Song workshop. There are only 2 spots left, so if you’re interested please sign up soon!

I hope to see you soon and share our good vibrations!

Blessings and Namasté.

Only 9 More Days!

Kundalini Yoga

Jimmye Whitfield

Gong Song

Jamie White

We’re back!!! Jimmye Whitfield and Jamie White are collaborating once again for an afternoon of Kundalini Yoga and Gong Song at Arkansas Yoga Center! You will be giving yourself a great gift of setting aside time for yourself and listening to the rhythm of your breath.

“We must learn to meditate on our Breath. Breath is God in us. Breath is Life in us. Breath is us”. Yogi Bhajan

The first hour Jimmye will lead you on an exploration of mantras, mudras, postures and gazes together with the rise and fall of the breath. There’s so much magic in the simple act of just focusing on the inhalation and exhalation of breathing. This practice of awareness brings a sense of inner clarity calmness, elevation, joy and gratitude. It is always available to you and only requires you to slow down and do it—any time and anywhere. And it’s fun!

The second hour Jamie will lead you into deep stillness and peace with her Gongs, Singing Bowls, Bells and more. The ethereal sounds and vibrations will surround you and infuse you, helping to further expand your ability to breathe deeply and drop into a place of profound calmness. It is in this calm place that the wisdom of your “still, small voice” can arise and lead to insights and ah-ha moments. A gentle return (and chocolate!) will complete this magical afternoon.
