Handpan Classes

An Introduction to Sound, Stillness & Flow

About This Course

Set in the serene atmosphere of Rishikesh, this immersive experience invites you to gently enter the world of the handpan — not as an instrument to master, but as a space to feel, listen, and connect.

Over seven transformative days, you'll develop an intuitive relationship with the handpan through mindful practice, guided exploration, and the peaceful energy of the Himalayas and the sacred Ganges.
