Full moon rising
WHERE: RALPH WILSON THEATRE, BRADDON
WHEN: SUNDAY 27 SEPTEMBER
A heart-opening evening of Kirtan, Ecstatic Dance, Ritual, Cacao & Community
About
Join Koko Shie, Lucien Simon and friends for a soulful evening of devotional chant, embodied movement, ritual and connection beneath the energy of the rising Full Moon. As the moon grows towards fullness, we gather to magnify energy, pause, reflect and reconnect with what is most alive within us. Full Moon is a potent time for shedding, illumination and completion.
Details
The evening begins with Kirtan, an ancient call-and-response chanting practice from the Bhakti Yoga tradition. Through sacred mantras, music and collective voice, we awaken the heart, quiet the mind and cultivate a deeper sense of joy, connection and inner peace.
From this shared resonance, we transition into an ecstatic dance journey — an invitation to move freely, release barriers and burden and express through the wisdom of the body. Guided by rhythm, sound, light and community, we dance as a living ritual of celebration, devotion and transformation.
No experience is necessary. Whether you come to sing, dance, listen, reflect, or simply be held in community, all are welcome.
