Leading Carnatic Musician - TM Krishna
Soulitudes and Himalayan Village are proud to present a unique self development experience by a leading exponent of Indian Classical Music from the South, TM Krishna.
As we evolve through various stages in life and start stabilising, one realizes that our cognitive and functional capabilities are not completely adequate to deal with situations. The ability to handle ambiguity, people and broader responsibilities require subtle skills. Thus both in work and personal life, success starts being determined by our ability to supplement cognition, analytical or hard intelligence with subtler intelligences. Art in general and music in particular is known to have the ability to build the softer intelligence quotients.
In the lap of the Himalayas TM Krishna will, through the highest form of Indian music conduct a unique workshop to expand your creativity and subtle intelligences. The program will include a candlelight concert; alaps in the background of the Himalayan peaks glowing during sunrise or sunset; and discussions on the power of music among Oak and Rhondendron trees.
To ensure a personal experience with the teacher, group and within and the environment, the participants will not exceed twenty five. The venue, Himalayan Village, is a bio-resort in Uttaranchal. More details on the venue can be found at

The process of creation
The concept and music is produced without any instruments but by using their mouth and whatever is available around them ( chairs, pieces of wood, what ever may be available in nature etc - Without the use of actual instruments – music and rhythm. The quality of the music is not important but only the process.
Explain the whole process from Idea generation to – adaptation of things around to help in the musical production to acceptance in the group – presentation This will lead to a lot of introspection into how we create, what each one contributes , how fast do they react to situation, what guides the our whole process and in the whole a enjoyment of oneself and the team. |
