Theo Marchetti, Italy
The three-day handpan workshop at Haritha Sound Healing School in Rishikesh was a great experience. Right from the basics of rhythm to the professional play of handpan, I learned a lot about it. The teacher, I was a part of their Ayurveda Retreat. This was my best decision. I loved everything about this therapy. Very rejuvenating. All the therapies were amazing. Haritha has become my go-to place for rejuvenating workshops!. I really enjoyed this workshop.
Linnea Holm, Sweden
Finally, I added one more instrument to my music list. Handpan was something very crazy. From the beginning, I wanted to learn this skill. And then I came across the handpan workshop offered by Haritha in Rishikesh, India. The curriculum was beautifully structured and had a great balance between theory and practical. The whole workshop was very relaxing and inspiring. Thanks, Haritha.
Sebastian Reiner, Austria
My three-day handpan workshop at Haritha taught me a new rhythm. It made me connect to the sound. I started looking at sound from a different perspective. And that is from the perspective of healing. This not only helped me to learn a new skill in music, but also taught me how to express myself through the vibrations of sound. Thanks for such a great experience.
Maja Petersen, Denmark
Haritha International School is offering some of the great things. This is why people from all across the world came to visit the Handpan workshop. I was also a part of it. The teachers were really seasoned and had great knowledge of Handpan, right from the theory to the practicals. They mastered the whole class in playing the Handpan beautifully. Highly recommended workshop if you are in Rishikesh, India.
Connor Fitzgerald, Ireland
Being a part of the Handpan workshop was my best decision. The whole workshop was taught in a very easy and basic language. This is also great for beginners. It helped me to feel much more rejuvenated and focused. Now I know how to play Handpan to release all my emotional stress. This is a great instrument to heal holistically.
