THE JOY OF PRACTICING TOGETHER
AND SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER
Just like in the ancient tradition of this lineage, the teachings are transmitted in the classical Gurukul and Sufi Khanqah style – through immersive learning with your community:
-
Riyaz – Practice techniques developed and passed down over centuries to perfect your pitch and voice quality.
-
Akaar – Voice culture: cultivating your own natural, open and relaxed voice in a journey towards effortless singing. Connecting your heart to your vocal expression.
-
Raag – Sacred melody structures. Raags were inherited from the elders of Hindustani classical music, seers, mystics and musical masters. Each raag is treated as deity, a perfect musical embodiment of a rass (sentiment).
If you desire to cultivate a deep understanding of universal music and its healing of the spirit, you won’t want to miss this opportunity.
