PLEASE SEE DETAILS AND APPLICATION IN THIS SITE: https://www.istvansky.com/argentina/
Dear friends,
we have good news to all of you who are interested in the summer retreat in Transylvania but linger with the final decision because of the travelling and costs.
We decided to bring this wonderful event closer to you and make it in the magical István’s Song of the Butterfly home near to beautiful Balaton Lake (Hungary).
You can look forward to the magical transforming week of István’s deep knowledge he will share with you to find the divinity of your spirit and your voice as it’s manifestation.
You may know that the Carpathian Basin is one of the cradles of music and Hungarian folk music. And this is where our 7-rhythm comes from, that vibrates to our heartbeat, which almost immediately lifts us into seventh heaven. Folk music, dance, singing and other arts have an ancient tradition here.
Looking forward to a magical time with you.
Love,
István
“Welcome to this special gathering!
This is the time to come together, to find health, to settle in nature, to share love and create a community.
When the flower grows and opens up to daylight, it is like when the heart opens up to the joy of being, to love and to be loved.
This is the very essence of life, to which the soul is carried and cradled…
This is the expansion of the Light we are.
Come and join this magical circle.
See you there!”
ABOUT ISTVAN SKY’s RETREATS
Istvan Sky’s retreats have a life-changing effect – without any exaggeration. People who experience the magic will not only always remember, but their heart opens up to dive deeper into their essence and discover their true identity.
He can attain this by creating the space of love, the joy of surrender and being present in the moment while singing.
You will find yourself (if you let it happen) in this state of being at his concerts and workshops.
“When I am singing, I cannot be anything else but happy.”

About the Master
Istvan Sky
https://www.istvansky.com/about/
Istvan Sky is a Hungarian musician and composer. He started learning music as a child, from his family and from nature, then he went to India to deepen his singing and musical skills with Indian and Tibetan teachers. In 1990 he became a disciple of the renowned master of sarod Smt. Sharan Rani in New Delhi. During 15 years under the supervision of his master, Istvan learned complex musical and spiritual art (voice, tabla and sarod), and also acquired a broader understanding of the oriental way of life and philosophy. Istvan taught and participated in various international concerts and workshops, including the World Music Festival in Delhi. He had full house concerts in India, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary and toured all around the world from Singapore to Mexico.
About his music
Istvan is known around the world as the creator of a unique song called “The Song of the Butterfly”, which has many millions of views on YouTube. His music inspires: peace, love, and gratitude. The roots of his art springs from the deep soil of Shamanic, Tibetan, Indian and Hungarian folklore traditions. However, the essential inspiration comes from his spiritual practice, and true observation of nature where music and silence interweave harmoniously. The voice is Istvan’s most powerful instrument, both musical and therapeutic. From contemplative verses to mantras and overtone chanting, Istvan’s interpretations never cease to amaze, with tonal versatility and colorful vocal spectrum. He is a charismatic sound master who works in the eternal presence of loving heart energy and he creates a space where true blessing can be perceived.
About his teaching
The magical music that Istvan channels into space comes from our ancestors, from shamans and healers who sang from the bottom of the heart. „When I teach singing, I open my heart and ask our ancestors to be present through my voice and to manifest in my songs. They send us those sounds that need to be heard and they whisper those words that need to be said with the only purpose of healing; to help opening our hearts, to rise up, to be honest and kind to each other.”
When you sing you express sensitivity through your voice, you reconnect with your interior and so with nature that you are part of. The aim is to rise up, to give and receive love and eventually to find your own unique voice. This is a real deep initiation. The secret is to stay present. If you manage to stay in the present moment whilst singing, the mind stays calm allowing you to step into the space of true happiness and glory.
In a workshop you get to know about ancient folk music singing techniques. Through traditional folk songs you are to learn about the rhythm of the heartbeat of 7, to practise drumming and singing techniques, to learn tuning your voice on a scale from deeper to brighter sounds, to master overtone singing and to learn about the sounds of the 7 energy centers in your body, called chakra singing. Also you will be introduced to an ancient Hungarian shamanic instrument that is called citera.
