About this Retreat
Ram Joshi is a musician and teacher born in a small village in the sacred mountains of Rishikesh, India. From a young age, he was surrounded by the chants of the Ganges and the vibrant energy of the Himalayas. His path has been deeply connected to Indian classical music as a means of spiritual realization.
Trained in the traditional Guru-Shishya Parampara lineage (a direct, devotional transmission between master and disciple), Ram has lived in various gurukulams — traditional residential schools — dedicating years to the rigorous and devoted study of Nada Yoga, rāgas, and sacred singing.
As a specialist in voice and rāgas, Ram’s teaching goes beyond technique. He guides his students to open their hearts and listen from the soul. His approach is simple, humble, and profound: singing with him is a transformative experience, where the voice becomes medicine, prayer, and a remembrance of the essential.
In this retreat, he will hold the space for studying and practicing sacred sound, devotional singing, mantras, and Indian philosophy. His presence is a true gift: living wisdom, inner peace, and genuine devotion.
