The Dark Matter gong is a balance of sound and silence…and beckons us to not only look at what we hear, but that which is missing. This gong is very responsive to play. A gentle hand should be used to perpetuate the low tones with its voice getting too loud. Space creates matter and matter defines space…this gong teaches us to see the emptiness as a defining element of the self.
Customer Reviews
I didn’t just buy my first gong. I crossed a threshold.
Driving from a busy city into the quiet green of Vermont, I found myself winding through mountain roads under a canopy of trees. It felt less like a road trip and more like a sacred pilgrimage.
When I arrived at Brooklyn Healing Arts, I met a healer — not just a shop owner. Jarrod and his family welcomed me with gentleness and deep knowledge. I spent three hours exploring instruments - sometimes with guidance, sometimes in solitude, always supported.
I came in for one specific gong — the one I thought was “mine” — but left with a completely different one. The one that had chosen me. Her name is Dark Matter.
That moment of surrender changed something in me.
This place isn’t just a store. It’s a sacred portal. A quiet ceremony disguised as a retail experience.
If you’re called here — follow that call. Let yourself be surprised. You won’t leave the same.
