Laraaji is synonymous with ambient music, meditation and cosmic energy - his Laughter workshops, deep listening performances and yoga tours have become a program highlight at some of the worlds finest arts institutions, festivals and clubs. Awakened to mysticism in the 70's, Laraaji bought a second hand zither and began busking around Manhattan and Brooklyn - he was playing in Washington Square Park when Brian Eno heard him, resulting in Laraaji recording the third release of Eno's seminal "Ambient" series. Forty years and almost fifty albums later, Laraaji is at the forefront of deep listening and ambient music - he has collaborated with Bee Mask, Ela Orleans, Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, Blues Control and Sun Araw, released on Stones Throw subsidiary Leaving Records, produced Boiler Room sessions and toured worldwide.

This series of online meetups will be an idyllic immersion into ambient music, meditation, laughter and deep listening. Over five small-group, interactive video sessions, we'll explore a meditative musical pathway beginning with the body, moving through listening, and ending with manifestation and creativity. It's perfect for those seeking to bring mindfulness and focus into their creative processes, as well as people simply interested in exploring the relaxation/meditation potential of deep listening and laughter.

Activities will include:

Laughter meditation (the health and relaxation benefits of heavy laughter)
Chanting our light body (intuitively guided call and response chanting for inviting expanded light body awareness and integration).
Deep listening sound bath (nurturing live sound journey for transformative listening, mind travel and journaling)
Nada yoga (cosmic sound current contemplation, guided inner stillness for listening to the etheric ocean of cosmic pulsation/music)
Accessing your inner guide through positive affirmations & spontaneous writing
Laws of Manifestation (creative use of imagination and visualization in attracting your higher vision, and clearest focus)




WHERE AND WHEN?

This is an online course, but it involves realtime sessions and contact time with your tutor - it's not a "download these videos and watch them at your leisure" type of thing - it's a real workshop with live lectures, individual tuition, assignments and feedback sessions. We've tried to make this remote session as close as possible to the experience of an onsite workshop at CAMP. The course starts on 20/01/2025 and ends on 24/01/2025. The schedule for sessions is as follows (all times are CET):

  • Session 1: 20/01/2025, 19:00 - 21:00 CET
  • Session 2: 21/01/2025, 19:00 - 21:00 CET
  • Session 3: 22/01/2025, 19:00 - 21:00 CET
  • Session 4: 23/01/2025, 19:00 - 21:00 CET
  • Session 5: 24/01/2025, 19:00 - 21:00 CET
