Hand holding a brass singing bowl

A singing bowl, held and heard in Kathmandu.

A small studio for sound and craft.

In the heart of Thamel, Shriba is a place to meet Himalayan singing bowls up close. Explore hand-beaten brass bowls, learn how to hold and play one, or settle in for a one-to-one sound session. We keep the experience personal, unhurried, and grounded in the craft.

A little time to learn, practice, and listen.

A Living Tradition,
Carried Forward.
