Discerning the Spirit in Sound:
Chanting, a popular seminar,
explored the role of sound and
chanting in different faith
traditions. It examined the impact
of sound on the physical and
spiritual dimensions of human life.
Scholars, theorists, medical
practitioners, anthropologists,
folklorists, artists and students
engaged in stimulating dialogue on the ways in which chanting can enrich contemporary human existence. Thematic panels included Mantra and Tantra, Zikr and Sama, the Sufi Way and
the Power of the Noble Quran as the Spoken Word.
