Plans are now underway for the first Singing Bowl retreat to be held by the West in Nepal. Hosted by Mitch Nur, PhD, senior
instructor of the 9ways Academia, and the leading authority on Singing Bowls in the world today.
The retreat will be held either in September or October 2012, which is festival season and is one of the best times of
the year to be in the Himalayas weatherwise. The outline for the retreat will be posted soon, but the preliminary plans are
to spend 7 to 10 days at a Kathmandu Valley retreat center, and to hold workshops at the retreat center with invited guests.
We will meet with local authorities in the Singing Bowl culture and trade, immersing ourselves in the traditions of Nepal.
We will visit Singing Bowl factories to see how Singing Bowls are made, and to visit shops that still sell antiques. This
is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
The Retreat costs are reflected 2 ways: Students pay their own airfare in and out of Nepal. If you book early, you can
fly for discounted rates. Once on the ground in Nepal, your retreat fee will cover most, if not all, expenses.

This website is currently under construction, and is updated as soon as details are confirmed. We are doing this so people
can plan accordingly. Currently we are waiting on the confirmation of the Kathmandu Valley retreat center regarding lodging
and food costs. Most of the other details have been firmed up including local authorities, planned visits to local Bowl factories,
etc. Because of economic issues worldwide, and especially Nepal, where the economy goes back and forth from the Dollar to
the Euro, firming up expenses has been a daunting task. Once we fix the date, students can begin researching airfare options,
the next step is to reach a firm agreement with the retreat center so if economic conditions fluctuate, we have a firm agreement
in hand to hold costs as advertised. Thank you for your patience.
We will also have direct access to one of the largest and most trusted export companies in Kathmandu. Students who wish
to ship goods home can feel assured that purchases will arrive safe and in a timely manner.
