 RETREAT

DHRUPAD SINGING - BANSURI FLUTE - YOGA
​PIncinguaba / Brazil 24/28 May 2023

a place to be in silence
and dive deep into music

We believe that to study and play Dhrupad, the ancient style of northern Indian classical music, it is essential to be in silence and surrounded by nature.  All things and beings in the universe are connected with each other, visibly or invisibly, and through vibrations a communication is established between them on all the planes of existence.

To enter the world of Dhrupad inevitably we come in touch with the subtle world of vibrations, of harmony and dialogue.

It is our wish to bring you close to this experience of sound merged into nature...
To learn Indian Classical Music is not only about learning Indian music, it is about learning how to play music without relying on a music score. It is about closing your eyes and let yourself being played by inspiration. It is to learn how to improvise, how to create in the moment every time something new.

To learn Dhrupad singing is not only about learning to sing Dhrupad. It is about finding your personal voice, a voice without tensions and struggle. It is to find that place where you are sung and not where you are singing. 

This is why to join our Indian Classical Music Retreats is much more than learning Indian Classical Music. 

It is about finding the music naturally within you. 
It is about learning how to listen carefully and to fine tune yourself. 
It is about learning how to speak music just like a language.

Three teachers will be guiding the students in all the aspects of Indian classical music, together with yoga classes for stretching and relaxing the body after many hours of sitting. 
​The retreat is open to beginners and advanced students: the group classes and the practice classes will be programmed and divided according to the level of the students, and individual attention will be given to each student.

ABOUT The teachers

Virginia and Igino studied Dhrupad in India under the guidance of the masters Gundecha Brothers, world leaders of the Dhrupad style. They study bansuri flute with Pandit Rajendra Prasanna. They perform internationally in several classical and innovative musical projects and have been teaching Indian classical music worldwide for over 10 years.

"Experience could not be more complete: musically and personally. I've been brought to a new understanding of the sound such as of my inner self in the true meaning of Nada Yoga. Virginia and Igino kindly carried me a step further in my path, offering new instruments and tools to open up my vision. All surrounded by an epic and magic environment like Tignale “ Emilio
"My experience with Samvad was deep and inspiring. The space is cozy and the environment of nature is amazing, like a small paradise. Virginia is my Dhrupad teacher and I have been introduced to e deep inner space through the beauty of this ancient sound. She is a great teacher and I could feel that the sound is her life. Definitely, for those who want to go deep and discover this Sacred Music is the right place to visit.Looking forward to be there again.” Radha
" I was very glad I took the opportunity to visit Igino and Virginia at their residence on the lake. It is a beautiful and tranquil place near Lago di Garda that has a very conducive energy for studying.  I had taken several Skype lessons with them before but being there in person it made a more complete learning experience. I got a lot out of those few days I was there and I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about deepening their understanding of indian classical music and in particular of bansuri playing.” Shastro
