"The Master Class 2018 held at Adishakti under the auspices of the Gramsci Foundation was an engaging one for all concerned.
Adi Shakti is a wonderful space conceived of for the practice and creation of art. It was simple and comfortable, surrounded by greenery and quiet. The food was vegetarian and tasty. This is conducive to learning and meditation on what you do...
Thanks to Gramsci for the arrangements made to make this happen!"

"... The master class was a wonderful idea as it provided us an opportunity to know in person, someone whom we have always looked at in awe and has been an inspiration while we were growing. To spend time learning, observing and having conversations with the maestro Leela Akka was a very interesting experience... Looking forward to more such classes and interactions.
I would like to thank Gramsci Foundation for having very thoughtfully organized such a session. "
