About the experience:
An opportunity to warm your life up in the most beautiful way beginning with a Guided Energy Healing 'Tree Of Light' meditation, sacred cacao ceremony, kirtan and the long-awaited sharing of Treebrother's debut album.
There'll be some precious time for connection, community, meeting friends old, new, and to-be. This will be a night to enjoy and remember for years to come, leaving the room in a much higher vibe than when you entered!
What to expect:
A night of funky, sacred music that touches the heart, vibes up the soul, and may even get the room dancing like there's no tomorrow. Profound healing, music with meaning, and above all, many kindred humans shining their light.
Kirtan & Cacao Ceremony by Sun Hyland and Grace Elizabeth
In the creation of a nurturing ceremonial space, Grace Elizabeth of Centre of You will begin the evening with a heartfelt offer of the heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao. Inviting the spirit of cacao into our being and dropping into a state of pensive reflection will help enable the heart’s messages to become amplified from the stillness within throughout the remainder of the evening.
With ceremonial cacao now nestled within your being, be led by Sun Hyland into experiencing the blissful, rejuvenating power of the yogic practice of Kirtan: mantra and music. Kirtan, or call and response devotional chanting, is a meditative practice to move you into the heart space. Connect to your breath, give the mind a break and immerse yourself in soul-nourishing, uplifting, high vibrational sound.
Sun’s uplifting vocal melodies and beautiful musicianship create the ideal soundscape for this simple, magical, joyous practice.
It is our intrinsic birthright to gather in community and sing. No experience needed. Come as you are - all welcome.
Launch of TreeBrother's debut Medicine Music Album, 'This Life'.
Following the nurturing, enriching commencement to the shared experience, the evening will be capped off with a vibrant, danceable, heart-touching live concert/set launch of TreeBrother's medicine music album 'This Life'. With song names such as Precious Day, Temple Door, Aya, Truth Of You and Old Man Mountain you can be sure to enjoy meaning-filled lyrics, spine-tingling vocals, sacred connection, mystical melodies, toe-tapping rhythms, deep healing presence, fun, lightness, and joy... The best kind of earworms.
TreeBrother’s living passion is weaving high-vibration healing energies into songs. This medicine music holds a subtle power to set you free from who you think you are, so you can become all of who you might be.
