The Joy of
Devotional Chanting:
A Daylong Singing Intensive

Silvia Nakkach

Through a precise repertoire of sacred sounds, deity invocations, prayerful chants, and divine utterances, workshop participants will experience how sound supports the process of liberating energy, healing emotions, and assisting the connection with the spirit world. We will open our singing voices through uninterrupted chanting with periods of silence.

In this day of continuous devotional singing, participants will share world chants from the traditions of contemplative singing: Shabda and Bhakti Yogas, Tibetan and Sufi music, as well as more expansive forms of indigenous chants, ritual songs, and incantations from India, Africa, Brazil, and the Amazon. Instruction about the correct use of breath and the voice will be given at the beginning of the workshop. For more information, visit www.voxmundiproject.com.

The sessions of chanting will be recorded during the workshop, and participants will receive a CD with the chants that they learned.
