You are invited to join a workshop in the Maharishi Dome. We will be connecting online with Dr Shubham Kulkarni for the day.
This workshop introduces participants to the profound science of Gandharva Veda Music Therapy, a traditional system of sound and music rooted in the Vedic tradition.
It explores how Naad (the essence of sound / subtle vibration) influences the mind, emotions, and consciousness. The sessions are designed to be deeply experiential, allowing participants to not only understand but also feel the therapeutic impact of sound.
Participants will learn how specific musical elements, ragas, and listening practices can be used for mental clarity, emotional stability, relaxation, and inner growth.
