  • Tea sharing (each one will have his/her own tea ready) and friendly introductory meeting about the spiritual path.
  • Short explanation on the technical aspects for chanting this particular type of vibrating practice
  • Chanting and meditation practice: the teacher chants and each one responds, supported by the voice of one old Andre’s student having studied with him for more than 10 years
  • Short period of shared silence ending with the dedication chant.
    The teaching might sometimes include precise details such as dharana concentration, drishti visualizations or bhava feelings to be added to the chanting.
    At the end of each session, it will be possible to email questions that will be answered during the next session.

This contribution has been reduced, taking in account the financial difficulties that many of us are facing today due to the sanitary situation, but as everyone else we need some income too.
In case of real personal financial difficulty, do not hesitate to join us, and we will find a solution together.
Our proposal is mainly for sharing meditative states, and also to reduce the emotional contagion of worries and uncertainty created by the sanitary situation, this program having many beneficial aspects on the global physical, psychological and immune systems.

    Hello,

    I was at the Yoga Vidya Kongress in Germany in November – and attended André´s lectures.
    Chanting the Sanskrit alphabet had a strong effect on me, and therefore, if still possible, I would like to join the Shabda group André runs on Wednesdays.

    Hello again,

    My emails are not being sent to the above email address. I get them returned to me, as not having been sent.

    Sorry.

    Maybe the secretary in charge could email me first, and then I will reply.

    Thanks,
