The Handpan Immersion Retreat - hosted by NADAYANA

12 – 17 January 2027
Cabana Șapte, Transylvania, Romania
Limited to only 6–7 participants

Music is not merely a sequence of notes — it is the art of giving voice to the silent movements of the soul.
This intimate immersion is intentionally kept very small. For six nights we gather in a private mountain sanctuary to move beyond mechanical playing and into authentic musical expression. Here, every note is heard, every question is answered, and real artistic growth happens.

This is a retreat focused on my composition process. You will see from start to finish how I approach rhythm, melody, composition but also capturing the sound, recording on video and marketing advices. We will also practice various patterns, time signature rhythms, melody and introduce you in the mindset for composition and improvisation. Structure as following:

The Journey
Act I: The Inner Sound
• The Touch — Unlocking clean, warm, and truly resonant tone on the handpan
• The Flow — Moving from patterns into fluid, heartfelt composition and complex rhythms.
• The Dialogue — Learning to listen and respond in real-time musical conversation.

Act II: The Professional Blueprint
• The Studio — Professional recording techniques, microphone placement, and sound capture. Bare minimum of what you need and what you don’t.
• The Stage — Live sound, EQ, Reverbs, performance presence, and creating powerful sound journeys. I will have a full pedalboard to experiment with.
• Content Creation Mastery — Professional video filming with high-end cameras and budget options. All my arsenal will be there.
• The Path — Developing your unique artistic signature and building a sustainable music career (based on my 16+ years of handpan playing with proven results, 45k YouTube subscribers and multiple videos reaching over 2–3 million views)
