About UsPaar

What to Expect

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.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
