What we’re about
Welcome! This group is your gateway to the enchanting world where handpan music and mindfulness converge. We're dedicated to exploring the profound healing powers of these practices, using the beautiful, resonant sounds of the handpan to guide our journey.
What You'll Discover:
- Intuitive Music Making: Learn to play the handpan through "Intuition at Play." My approach bypasses traditional notes, helping you connect directly with the instrument and your innate musicality from the very first session.
- Deepened Mindfulness: Whether you're new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, discover how the handpan's "lush, mysterious voice" can enrich your contemplative practice and ground you in the present moment.
- All Are Welcome: Lessons cater to all skill levels and backgrounds. Whether you're a budding musician or simply curious about mindfulness and music, you'll find a supportive space here.
- Connect & Create: Join like-minded individuals for a harmonious journey towards inner peace, creativity, and shared musical exploration.
Our Focus:
This isn't just about learning an instrument; it's about unlocking your ability to create, connect, and find stillness. We use the renowned BATTILORO HANDPAN - B2 minor 432 Hz Koray model, known for its "exceptionally powerful resonance," to enhance this experience.
Join me, Coach Jan, as we explore this beautiful path together. Let's nurture your passion for both mindfulness and music!
