A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. This Nature Retreat is designed to help you slow down, breathe, and dive into the world of Indian Classical Music under the guidance of Gandhar and his supportive community of students!
❋ Listening Sessions
Spend time in the silence of nature listening to concerts in our guided listening sessions. Learn the art of notation and intentional listening!
❋ Riyaz Intensive
Riyaz is the only key to master any art. Work on your basics with long notes, exercises and master the basics of bansuri along with the community!
❋ Expert Facilitation
Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.
❋ Group Discussions
Take out time to share, discuss and study various art forms. Discuss and breakdown films, poetry, philosophy and various subjects.
❋ Collaborative Energy
Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.
