September – October 2023
Healing Sounds Retreat
From Nov 23-27,2023 @ Vaidyagrama Ayurveda Healing Village
A Satsangam Event- Organised by Punarnava Ayurveda Trust and Vaidyagrama Community Trust.
On the final day Nov 27,2023 we have a special program on Music therapy by Purvaa Sampath from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.
Sound, in the form of drumming, chanting, recitation, repetition of mantra, singing, instrumental music, and the ringing of bells has been an integral part of devotional traditions since ancient days. Sound is associated with ākāśa (space), the most subtle of the five great mahābhūta (elements). Its subtlety offers the potential to usher us into the subtle realms of consciousness where we may experience devotion, clarity, focus, love and healing. During the five days of the retreat participants will participate actively in these practices, thereby enjoying direct experience of the very different effects of these distinct manifestations of sound.
We invite you to participate in the healing sounds retreat, where besides understanding the above effects of sound, the delegates also would be receiving 2-3 Ayurveda treatments during afternoons after consultation with senior Ayurveda physicians.
