Everyone's talking about outer space. The gongs open you to the space within.
Inner space is where the noise stops. Where you recognize yourself. It is the seed of being vibrantly alive.
Be The Space That Listens
If you want to get the most out of any experience, you need the space to receive it. The gongs help you access that space.
The Gongs Make It Easy
The music of the gongs seduces the mind. The body settles into a deep, relaxed awareness. What's beyond awakens.
Music That Defies Cliché and Takes You In Anyway
Tones and overtones so sustained, so focused, it stops being something you listen to — and becomes somewhere you are. A sonic story you can feel.
A Pause That Awakens the Space Within
What you pause is the distraction, the reaction, the habitual disengagement. What emerges is clear, present, and alive.
Was Gongbäder anders macht
Unlike sound baths, gong baths work with both sound and vibration. Sound engages the mind. Vibration is felt directly in the body.
The gongs reach areas of tension held beyond conscious control, without requiring effort or technique.
Unlike meditation, there is nothing to focus on and nothing to do. You lie down and allow the experience to unfold. This absence of choice is central. It allows the system to settle, integrate, and reset naturally.

About Alan Steinborn
Alan Steinborn is an internationally known gong artist, gong teacher, and meditation facilitator based in Zürich, Switzerland.
For over three decades, Alan has been teaching meditation and exploring the relationship between awareness, embodiment, and creative expression. Around a decade ago, these strands came together through a focused commitment to the gongs.
His work is rooted in a simple but demanding principle: real transformation happens when precision and relaxation coexist. Musical clarity and structural coherence are essential — but inseparable from inner stillness and honest presence.
Rather than using a wide range of instruments, Alan works exclusively with gongs. This deliberate limitation allows depth to emerge through sustained listening, subtle variation, and a refined relationship to vibration. Influenced by classical Indian music, minimalism, and contemporary sound art, his sessions unfold as coherent sonic journeys rather than collections of effects.
His gong baths have been experienced in Europe, North and South America, and beyond, and have been featured in venues such as the Fondation Beyeler.
Not escape, not performance, not spiritual spectacle — but a grounded encounter with what is already present. Presence cannot be forced. But it can be invited.
