Event Description:
A Gong Bath is a meditative and transformational experience, where the participant allows the sound and vibration of the gongs to wash over them, creating deep feelings of peace, relaxation and timelessness. The energy of the gong takes hold of the listener and moves them in wonderfully unexpected ways. Some participants have described it as an emotional cleansing, a spiritual alignment, or an energetic journey.
Multiple tuned gongs create complex harmonics, deep pulsing tones and beautifully rhythmic waves of sound. These tones remind the listener of deep space, distant voices, a caring heartbeat, or the songs of nature. Many listeners are surprised and moved by the types of sounds that are created.
In addition to the gongs, listeners may hear flute, didgeridoo, crystal bowls, chimes or harp. These will be used to relax the energy in-between gong sessions, and to ground the listener after the last gong has sounded. These interludes give the listener a chance to integrate the changes that have occurred.
Before the gong bath, the listeners will be guided through breathing exercises, physical movement and chanting. These prepare the listener for the experience by relaxing their body and stilling their mind, refining their ability to listen.

Squidwrench hackerspace
Highland, NY
First off, we have an official website! -> http://squidwrench.org/
Squidwrench's mission is to promote the interaction of creative and technical people in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Squidwrench is a home-grown community of creative people. Our modes of creation encompass painting, composing and performing music, building high-tech toys, building low-tech toys, and probably a lot of other stuff, too. There is no limit to the problems people can solve, given the resources, the inclination, the assistance, and the inspiration. At Squidwrench, we hope to make all of those things available to our members, as well as to our local and global communities. People often find themselves constrained by a lack of space, tools, and manpower. It is also far more likely that people will come up with ideas and attempt to execute those ideas when they are surrounded by people who can encourage them and give them direction.
Squidwrench has weekly meetings in which our individual members do self-directed projects in the company of old (and new) friends. Think of it as tinkering in your basement on something, except now you're out of the house and talking to others that may even be able to help you!
Our weekly meetings usually don't have set topics or presenters, but when they do, these meetings are listed as special meetings so everyone knows what we will be doing that week.
