• Prerequisites

  You don't necessarily have to be able to sing beautifully to join the mantra choir. Previous experience is not necessary.

  The mantra choir is for people who have the time and desire for a regular and monthly recurring mantra practice.

  You sign up for one year. The rule of thumb is: you should be able to come to practice more often than not. Between rehearsals you have the opportunity to practise the melodies you have learned with the help of audio files.

• Costs and subsidized places

  The annual membership fee is CHF 300.

  There are subsidized places for the choir for people living on a tight budget.
