Harmonium Pre-Immersion
for the Singing into Wholeness Retreat
Aug 7 (evening) – Aug 9 (afternoon)
Drala Mountain Center
in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado
Arrive early for a special 2-day Harmonium Pre-Immersion before the start of the Singing into Wholeness retreat.
The Pre-Immersion offers dedicated time to work with the instrument in a smaller learning environment before the full retreat begins.
Open to all levels — including complete beginners — with breakout groups for different experience levels.
Why Arrive Early?
This year’s Singing into Wholeness retreat is intentionally vocal-focused within a 5-day container. During the main retreat days, harmonium players are welcome to accompany themselves or others, and we’ll send optional prep songs and materials. However, the retreat itself will not be a harmonium-intensive experience like in prior years.
It’s also a beautiful way to arrive, land, and connect before the larger group gathers.
What We’ll Explore
During the Pre-Immersion, we’ll work with the harmonium in breakout groups based on experience level, allowing everyone to focus on skills appropriate to where they are in their journey.
Beginning players will explore foundational skills such as:
• harmonium technique and fingering
• pumping and drone use
• hand coordination
• getting comfortable with the instrument
Intermediate players will focus on:
• learning and refining melodies
• working with dyads, chords and simple harmonies
• playing and singing together
More experienced players will explore:
• rāga-inspired melodic development
• chords & accompaniment approaches
Across all levels, the emphasis will be on building comfort, fluency, and confidence playing and singing with the harmonium.
Who This Is For
The Pre-Immersion is open to:
• complete beginners who want to begin learning harmonium
• intermediate & advanced players looking to strengthen their skills
• anyone curious to deepen their relationship with the instrument within an accessible Indian music framework.
