About the OM CHOIR

The OM , the universal sound, we intone from within. And in a collective united invocation - through the opening and consecration of each individual in a simple sound prayer- the power of a new music and frequency can manifest.

We start with voice exercises given by Narad - and inspired by brief “Savitri” readings, intuitive waves of OM are unfolding through the consecrated singing.

Hear you there!
