Sacred Music Meets Sacred Nature: Annual Summer Music Retreat

Led by Silvia Nakkach and the international faculty of the Vox Mundi School of Sound and the Voice, with guest teachers from Trinidad, Brazil, USA, India and beyond...

Explore the voice, creativity, and the healing power of sound through daily practice of The Yoga of the Voice, inspired musical improvisation, daily yoga, qi gong, Afro-Brazilian dance, musical performances and divine silence.

“These music retreats are unique because the group is immersed in a fantastic multi-cultural journey, through daily contact and practice with many legendary master musicians and divine healers from faraway lands. As part of a learning community of artists from all over the world, participants make lifelong connections with our international students, and with the music that we all create and perform together with inner devotion and divinity. The food is delicious. Pema Osel Ling - our home for a week - is a Tibetan artists School of Magical Arts, where Buddhist practitioners and lamas create sacred sculptures and practice meditation and rituals. The week-long becomes an unforgettable heart-warming experience that inspires our participants to return every year, just to go deeper, and savor more of the same sweet and creative human-ness. The capacity to connect with energy that can liberate us is inherent in each of us.” ~ Silvia Nakkach, Group Facilitator and Core Faculty

The Pema Osel Ling Retreat Center is located on 102 acres of pristine redwoods and meadow lands of natural beauty and sacred energy in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.
Further information and registration forms can be found on the Vox Mundi website.

"I left the Summer Music Retreat at Santa Cruz with my heart and voice so open I felt I could fly away on the wings of song. And what beautiful songs! -- we were immersed in transporting melodies from so many diverse traditions with incredible musicians from all over the world. Plus, the grounds, the people, and the food were all great! I'm hooked -- this is my idea of how "summer camp" should be! " ~Valerie C.
