The culmination of 53 years of research including Field Studies in Nepal, and India wrapped around demonstrations and mentoring. Evidence based research combined with techniques from Asian collectors, Lamas, and shamans who is regarded as an insider by Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indian academics. Mitch travelled to Nepal at a time when not one store was selling them in Nepal, nobody on the ground in Kathmandu knew anything about them nor was anyone interested in them. Including Americans who had never heard of them. He was at the before the beginning of their popularity, and he actually lived and traveled across Nepal and India looking for the facts about them. The only westerner to have done so at that time, and he was recently interviewed by the British Museum recognizing that he was on the ground in Nepal studying them before anyone else. He is the author of the first Terma text buried on American soil entitled 'The Embrace of Luminant Simplicity" and 2 unpublished manuscripts - "The Bronze Garden of Mysteries" and "Treasury" that contain all of his insights about the Bowls, and act as a addendum to the Luminant text. They will serve as an academic background to this 3 part Transmission. Limited to just 9 students, in order to keep this as an intimate experience.

Wang 1 and 2 - Residential Retreat for NEW STUDENTS

The Bonpo Shang is one of the world's oldest ritual Sound Tools, and quite possibly the oldest metal sound tool, dating back to the pre-Imperial Period of the ancient kingdom of ZhangZhung.

Today's Yungdrung Bon tradition attribute the Shang to the founder of Bon, Tonpa Shenrab. The instrument existed at the time of Lord Shenrab (16,000BC according to some historians ), and may be considerably older according to sources in the Bon community. The instrument is found in other shamanic traditions in the Himalayan region of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Yunnan, Tuva, Mongolia,and as far north as the Buriyat Republic.

Why is this important? According to Dr. Mitch's research, "the upturned flat bell may be the only authentic sound healing instrument. There are numerous texts in the monasteries attesting to this which include how it is to be made, how it is played, and by whom. Every antique Shang found in museums confirms this (very few Shangs available today are authentic-fakes) and ONLY "knowledge holders" should be wielding it." Precise instructions found in authentic ancient texts with just one purpose - to heal with sound. As Dr. Mitch states " no other instrument used in sound healing can make this claim."
