PanParadise: Handpan Event Spotlight

In this episode of Handpan Voices, I’m joined by Hannah from PanParadise, a six-day handpan event in Germany that brings together players, teachers, artists, workshops, concerts, food, community, and space to properly connect. Hannah shares how she first discovered the handpan through Wild Naya and how the instrument helped her reconnect with music in a very personal way. We talk about why the handpan can feel so welcoming for beginners, the emotional side of playing, and how sound, movement, yoga, rhythm, singing, and community all come together at PanParadise. This conversation explores what makes PanParadise different from a typical festival. Hannah talks about the accommodation, vegetarian food, alcohol-free environment, daily handpan lessons, guided jam sessions, evening concerts, one-to-one lessons, raffles, and the international community that travels to be part of the event. We also talk about the wider programme beyond the handpan, including yoga, breathwork, sound baths, movement, circle singing, indigenous flutes, songwriting, TaKeTiNa, and other workshops designed to give people a fuller creative and personal experience during the week. There is also a strong focus on creating a safe and welcoming space, supporting female handpan artists and teachers, and giving players of all levels the chance to learn from a wide range of approaches. Whether you are new to the handpan, already deep into your playing, or simply curious about what a handpan event like PanParadise feels like, this episode gives a warm insight into the people, atmosphere, and intention behind it.
