Sacred Music Leadership Training

Five days at Lake Atitlan to deepen your connection with mantra, strengthen your musicianship, and find confidence as a sacred music leader.

Through daily practice, music theory, and supportive guidance, you’ll learn to lead kirtan with authenticity, ease, and heart.

Have you been humming mantras in your car like a dedicated practitioner?

Playing the same three chords over and over, genuinely wanting to share this sacred music tradition with others but feeling uncertain every time you consider stepping forward to guide a session.

Using the same ancient principles discovered by master kirtan wallahs who've been creating transformative experiences for decades - same methods Indian classical musicians use to connect with audiences - but with a clear approach that allows you to guide others through song without needing extensive Sanskrit study.

This focused training takes place over 5 days overlooking Lake Atitlan.

Even if you've been playing instruments for years, there's something about sacred music leadership that requires specific skills and confidence.

This focused method helps you develop from uncertain beginner to confident space-holder using morning lake sessions, evening practice, and clear music theory that builds understanding progressively.

Here at  Karuna we are deeply committed to helping people find their authentic voice in sacred music leadership.

For the past 5 years we’ve been supporting dedicated practitioners who want to share their gifts but might feel like they need extensive preparation before they can begin leading others.

This makes a difference because when you're confident in your ability to hold sacred space through music, you become someone who can offer genuine service to your community.

This works whether you're beginning with basic musical skills, limited Sanskrit knowledge, or feel nervous about solo leadership.

Using this training you can guide others into meaningful musical experiences with authentic confidence.

You could spend years learning from various sources, studying different approaches, and gradually building confidence through individual practice…

OR you can join us at Lake Atitlan for this organized comprehensive training. 5 focused days of morning sessions, supportive practice, and the kind of learning that happens when you're surrounded by committed practitioners in a beautiful, sacred environment.

Five days of morning practice overlooking one of the world's most inspiring lakes, small group sessions, and the kind of supportive environment where your authentic voice can develop naturally.
