A Retreat Combining Chanting & Meditative Practice

Focusing on traditional vedic healing chants

with Dave, Ranju, Ravi & Sheela Shankar

This 4 day retreat at Holland House will consist of optional early morning practices, vedic chanting with Sheela Shankar and meditative yoga practice with Dave & Ranju. Approx half of each day will focus on the chanting with the remainder either free time or meditative practice. The meditative practice will include asana, pranayama and seated meditation sessions, accompanied by some silent free time.

This is a great opportunity to work intensively on some chanting material with Sheela Shankar who is visiting the UK from Chennai. Sheela was TKV Desikachar’s senior chant teacher at the KYM in the 1990s.

Sheela will also be available for a limited number of private chanting lessons over the four days.
