Description

This journey is designed to follow the route of a devotional trinity of villages, musicians, temples, and chanting, and the emphasis is on nurturing and reactivating our voice as a devotional art.

India is one of the most musically rich cultures on this planet, and this is a journey that is giving us the opportunity to revitalize our own creative potential.

India impacts our senses and psyche not just for its ancient architecture, but also for its human wisdom and ancient-ness. This journey is an exploration of how we can share this planet with people that are mostly fed by the force of devotion, and how quickly we can overcome the physical plane of things towards the more subtle energy of music and the spirit. Everything is a manifestation of the divine substance and we are a dynamic constituent force of this holy landscape, then we can be one with any culture. It only takes to challenge our comfort zoneand have a strong spiritual hard-drive. We’ll come back home with a change of heart, and the world around us will benefit.
