"Kirtan singing meets sober rave": Experience the restorative power of rhythmic chanting!
About this Event

An intimate & feisty rhythmic chanting party to restore your energy and reclaim your power!

(Think "kirtan singing meets sober rave")

👋🏽Hey there aging ravers, wise young souls, raging (peri)menopausal femmes, spiritual seekers, diaspora queerdos, AFAB enbys & third-culture kids-at-heart:

If you're bored of bar-hopping, tired of pub crawls, so over hangovers, and fed up of dead-end connections...

...you're warmly invited to this sober-curious, soft-clubbing-style conscious creative communal gathering instead! 💃🏾

Together we'll sing and move, hum and wail, shake and shout, tune in and drop out, soften and deepen and open in truthful and honest expression -- all supported by original tunes, funky beats, groovy basslines...and a super fun 80s aesthetic that your inner child will LOVE.

Plus you can be in bed by 10pm!
