Notes from the valley

How sound works on the body, how to choose a bowl, what a retreat day is really like, and what is happening in the hills this month.

Why an hour of bowls and gong can leave you calmer than a night’s sleep, explained without the mysticism.

Size, sound, weight and what “seven metals” really means. A buyer’s guide from the workshops of Patan.

The mountains turn pink, the valley is still, and the body is honest. Our teacher on early practice.

A letter each full moon

One short email a month: a new journal piece, the next month’s retreat dates, and the occasional new bowl in the shop. Nothing else.
