Paul Bissonette

Please join Grand Master Gee & Master Mrs. Gee for an amazing personal experience at the dojo on:

Sunday, July 10th , 2016, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

Gong Master, Paul Bissonette (also one of our students), will be facilitating a FREE Gong Bath Meditation.  This extraordinary experience allows the listener to rest into themselves and move into a Dream-like state.  The Gong’s voice washes over the Mind, Body and Spirit.  Immersed in total sound of holistic resonance, one can reach a state of deep relaxation, rejuvenation and peace – resting into their true being where all healing and knowledge can be accessed.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle, pillow and blanket.  Your space is the dimension of a yoga mat.  Be prepared to be comfortable lying on the floor.

As this is a FREE event, we have limited space, so sign up as soon as possible. This event is not for young children or infants as the meditation requires full involvement & stillness for all those attending.

To attend, please contact Master Mrs. Gee: mrs.gee@mastergees.com to secure your spot or sign up at the front reception desk.

If you would like more information on Gong Meditation, you can also email:

Paul@harmonyofthespheres.net or call 604 754 0209

This event may not happen again as a free event, so if you have an interest, take the time to attend.

Paul BissonettePaul’s gong journey began in 2004 when he experienced a Gong Bath from Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux who became his mentor. During his first experience, the gongs quickly transported Paul into the spirit realm and had profound physical benefits. With each gong experience Paul felt his connections and benefits expand. These experiences inspired Paul to share the benefits of the gongs with others. He began offering Gong Meditations (gong baths) to groups in May 2005 and in 2009.  He became a full time Gong Master. The gongs are now an integral part of his life’s work. Paul’s Shamanic teachings, intuitive knowledge and deep trust in the spirit world guide his life, including how he plays and plays with the gongs.
