“I encourage you to free your voice in resonance with the Crystal Bowls, and join this unique life-changing journey of exploration through somatic consciousness, contemplative listening, and imagination. We’ll delve into the multifaceted mysteries of the voice and the bowls as cosmological instruments that extend beyond singing to engage musicality, emotional magic, nature, and the spiritual essence of the yoga of sound. You’ll embody your Voice as a portal to the resonant flow of the Crystal Bowls as you learn ‘unconditional’ ways to use these divine instruments to empower your healing work and spiritual practice.” — Silvia Nakkach (Saraswati Devi)
