Return to Dharma - Full Moon Global Music & Resonance

Return to Dharma is an immersive global music and soundscape experience inspired by ancient rites of renewal honored in both Vedic and Celtic traditions—seasonal thresholds of vitality, purification, and awakening.

Grammy®-nominated artist and composer Radhika Vekaria joins Sonic Devas founder Lynda Arnold (Divasonic) for a collaborative sonic journey weaving live vocals, global instrumentations, ancient mantras, masterful musicianship, and expansive soundscapes into a powerful arc of elevation and return. Together, they guide you back to inner alignment—where fire awakens life force and sound becomes embodied presence.

Held within the luminous architecture of Pico Union Project, resonance unfolds in a space designed for depth and connection. Return to Dharma invites you to lean into universal truth and expand beyond the ordinary.

This May Full Moon carries themes of courageous alignment and illumination, inspired by Beltane—the Celtic fire festival of vitality—and the Vedic month of Vaiśākha, associated with protection and restored inner order. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this gathering offers sound as sanctuary—a cross cultural offering to remind us we all share in the human process, a collective renewal through shared musical experience.

No prior experience required—only a willingness to listen, receive, and remember.

You are invited to sing, to feel, and to enter the Intimate Infinite—the liminal space where healing and expansion begin.

**Please note - This is a seated experience in pew seating. You are welcome to bring cushions or pillows for more comfort
