Mantra, Sound & Fun Retreat Provence, 03.-06.10.2025

03. – 06. Oktober 2025 in La Gardette, Provence (Frankreich)
With Avtar Kaur und Gurbasant Singh

Program:

Through mantra singing and chanting, we explore the universal power of sound and Naad, the ‘sacred sound current’. We will practise Kundalini Yoga exercises and meditations, early morning yoga (Sadhana), and experiencing the nature of the voice.

There will be time to practise and sing, to get into the movement of our own rhythm, to meet each other and to relax in the beautiful, natural and protected environment in the heart of the ‘Provence vert’ - the ‘green Provence’. We will slow down and connect with our bodies, our hearts and our souls – the eternal source of all sound and music.

Workshop language : German/English
