“Overall, I feel encouraged about the International Chant Academy in general after my first workshop. I think the vibe was calibrated especially well. I’ve been to some workshops and classes that feel a little bit oppressive, either because they’re intensely religious or because the instructor is feeding their ego. This didn’t feel like that, it felt like we were learning because we wanted to learn, and the instructor wanted to teach for the sake of it. Really lovely environment. Thank you so much.”
