shibir: annual immersive practice event

Each year we organize a Shibir - an immersive practice experience - with Master Teachers.

After two successful Dhrupad Shibirs in May 2018 and May 2019, our 2020 Shibir is focused again on Dhrupad music. Even with the sudden and heart-breaking departure of Pandit Ramakant Gundecha, we experience his presence and guidance as powerfully as ever, and wish to continue our work with the esteemed Gundecha Brothers Group. There will be a 7-day immersive, residential retreat, May 31st-June 8th in collaboration with Dhrupad Music Institute of America (DMIA), as the practice component of their annual festival Dhrupad Days. The Shibir will enroll a focused group of 17 participants, and be held in a serene natural setting of the beautiful Pacific Northwest. In the ancient tradition of the gurukul, we will co-habitate with our gurus for the full week and commune in a sadhana of Dhrupad.
