Inuit Throat-Singing Workshops
Experience the ancient resonance of Inuit katajjaq (throat singing) in respectful workshops exploring this sacred vocal tradition of the Canadian Arctic.
Two voices interweave in the sacred space, creating hypnotic rhythms that echo ancestral landscapes. Katajjaq, the traditional throat singing of the Inuit peoples, is an intimate vocal art where two singers face each other closely, engaging in a responsive duet of breath and sound.
This profound practice, historically shared between women in Indigenous communities across the Canadian Arctic, carries deep cultural significance. Beyond its role in entertainment and friendly competition, katajjaq connects practitioners to their heritage, community bonds, and the rhythms of the natural world.
Today, cultural preservation advocates, music enthusiasts, and those seeking deeper connection to Indigenous wisdom participate in guided workshops. Under the guidance of Indigenous teachers, participants gain appreciation for this living tradition while experiencing its meditative qualities and community-building power.
