The Healing Touch
The Healing Touch is a guided meditation in Dutch conducted by inner-child therapist Leela. During this three-hour event, participants are encouraged to leave the outside where it is and enter into the unfolding process. Music, bodywork and relaxation follow, and when you return to the outside world, it can be a totally different place!

Mystique plays oriental fusion and is one of Delhi's pioneering instrumental bands. As a quartet, the group showcases stunning virtuosity. As an ensemble, they delight with melody and harmony. Most of the music is spontaneous; rehearsals are for vibing and working on parts. Guests perform often.
With the Wanny Angerer Latin-Jazz Trio, Suchet plays on a special hybrid of jazz drums and percussion. Svetlana Radashkevich from Russia plays piano while Wanny sings in four languages-Spanish, English, Portuguese and French.
Sounds Like Sol plays traditional songs from South & Central America blended with Hindustani vocals & instruments. The quintet has two voices, sitar, tabla and percussion.
A recent project is The Srishti Project, a trio that plays harp, sitar and percussion. Grecian harpist Clio Karabelias and Hindustani sitarist Hindol Deb are members.
