Nirmal regularly performs sound journeys, leads Kirtan, facilitates workshops, and hosts retreats throughout the Northeast. He began studying cello at the age of 9 and as a music major at Brown University, he decided to devote his life to music. After earning his Masters of Music in Composition from San Francisco Conservatory, he took a detour into the world of intentional music, particularly Kirtan— an ecstatic form of call–and–response chanting— and Sound Journeys. These musical practices perfectly matched his desire to bring both spiritual connection and audience immersion into his work.
Nirmal enjoys creating gatherings and retreat experiences in which people can connect with each other through wisdom-based practices and creative expression. He is proud to serve as co-host of the GBTQ Men's Retreats at the Rowe Center in Western Massachusetts and also works with Jon Fischer to offer body positivity retreats for GBTQ men in NYC.
After experiencing the many benefits of yoga and meditation, Nirmal completed programs in both areas. He received his 200-hour yoga teacher certification from the Integral Yoga Institute of New York, and completed a 100-hour meditation teacher training.
