The Still Point: Community Gong for Kingston

Aim

Help launch The Still Point with a Community Gong, bringing more moments of calm, connection and belonging.

Help Create "The Still Point"

For many years, I've had a simple dream: to create a place where people can pause, breathe, reconnect and remember they don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

As the founder of Lazuli Studio, I've seen how sound, mindful movement, breath and tea can gently transform the way people feel. In just one session, busy minds begin to settle, strangers become a community, and people leave feeling calmer, more connected and more hopeful.

Yet I also know that many people who would benefit most simply can't afford experiences like these.

🌿 Vision

The Still Point is a new community wellbeing initiative, founded by Lazuli Studio, with a vision of making restorative practices more accessible to women, families and anyone experiencing stress, loneliness or life transitions.

I believe everyone deserves moments of calm, connection and belonging, regardless of their financial circumstances.

The aim is simple:

To create accessible rituals of connection that strengthen community wellbeing.

💙 Why I'm raising £2,500

I'm raising £2,500 to purchase a professional 30" Paiste Planetary Year Community Gong, together with the stand, mallets, protective case and other essential equipment needed to use it safely within the community.

The Community Gong will be owned and maintained by Lazuli Studio and dedicated to supporting free and subsidised community wellbeing sessions through The Still Point initiative. As The Still Point grows, my intention is to establish The Still Point Community CIC to expand this work through partnerships and grant funding.

🌱 Why This Matters

Modern life often leaves people feeling overwhelmed, isolated and disconnected—from themselves, from others and from the natural rhythms that help us feel grounded.

The Still Point is being created to bring people back together.

Through sound, mindful movement, breath, tea and seasonal gatherings, I will create gentle opportunities for people to slow down, reconnect and experience a genuine sense of belonging.

Because sometimes the greatest gift isn't advice.

It's simply having a welcoming place to arrive.

💷 How Your Support Helps

Every donation, whatever its size, brings the Community Gong one step closer.

More importantly, it helps create opportunities for free and subsidised community sessions where people can experience calm, connection and support, regardless of their ability to pay.

🌊 What Happens Next

If we exceed our target, every additional pound will go directly towards delivering more community wellbeing sessions and increasing access for those facing financial barriers.

By supporting this campaign, you're not simply helping us purchase an instrument—you are helping create a place where people can pause, breathe, reconnect and belong.

Because moments of stillness should belong to everyone!

🤍 Thank You for becoming part of the beginning of "The Still Point".
