The Sacred Sounds of Healing series is made possible with the generous support of Chandrika Tandon.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion led by Chandrika Tandon with scientists, artists, and cultural experts as we explore the intersection of science, sound, and song. Together, we will seek to uncover insights about where and how musical spiritual practices support the science of healing.
