Gong Sound Healing: Derrick
Derrick is currently one of the 400 members of the Global Gong Alliance.
In his college days, he experienced the collapse of his family, the betrayal from his loved one all on the same day. To him, the world suddenly became black and white, but it also led him towards the road of healing.
Derrick has been in contact with Inca shaman and Ayahuasca, and have also gone through various journeys of wellness which finally led him to learn about gongs.
Sound therapy can bring us ideological cleansing through its own vibration frequency. People will be able to dig into the deep subconscious mind, or simply relax and enjoy the endocrine balance that is stimulated by the vibration of the body.
Derrick participated in various activities such as a New Year's Eve gong banquet for a hundred people. Right now, Derrick helps people wash away their accumulated troubles and pressure through the sound of gongs.

Spirituality Sharing & Candle Ceremony: Linda
“My name is Linda, and I have been traveling on this planet for 29 years.” About four years ago, Linda went on a journey that dives into the inner world. She decided to put a pause to her busy life after she realized what actually matters to her.
During these 3-4 years, she took a 10 month class to achieve her Mind Lecturer license in China, and continuously pursued knowledge in Tarot cards and Chakras. Last year, after her mother passed away, she suddenly understood how unpredictable life could be.
“I look forward to meeting all of you, and let us explore our inner world.” Right now, Linda’s still a soul exploring the world trying to build a lifestyle she wants, a life that doesn’t leave any regrets and to love fully.
