SITARIST & SOUNDBATH PRACTITIONER

Meet Sahar, a soundbath practitioner with a rich blend of South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Muslim heritage. After enduring spiritual conflict, she rediscovered Islam through Sufism and pursued a Master’s in Religious Studies, exploring the intersections of Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Through this journey, she found deep healing in Sufi practices like qawwali, poetry, and zikr, but felt the need for alternative methods to confront her inner struggles.

​

Her life changed when she discovered sound healing, a practice she embraced alongside training in Hindustani classical music, sitar, vocals, and raga compositions under Guru Rajib Karmakar at LAIMA, where she is also student faculty. Realizing there were few spaces that truly resonated with people like her, she combined her sound healing training with her cultural background to offer a practice that merges familiar soundbath experiences with traditions of her own heritage.

​

Now, Sahar integrates Sufi values and sitar techniques into her soundbath practice, creating a space where Eastern wisdom and sound healing come together. She invites you to join her on a musical safar—a journey of inner peace and transformation.
