~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~About the Event~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KIRTAN:
Through call and response chanting we have the opportunity to awaken the true knowledge and inner light in ourselves and merge with the divine. We experience the bliss of our true self by letting the mind expand in the sound of sacred chanting. Through this, each one of us can enjoy the peace born of our true nature. When we chant we open to pure love, and through pure love we bring peace to the world and to all beings everywhere.
Sangita Devi has been leading kirtan on a weekly basis bringing community together to share in satsang and devotion in Asheville and the Southeast region for over 11 years. For more info check out: www.SangitaDeviKirtan.com
This will be the 9th consecutive New Year's Eve event that Sangita Devi has hosted. We are excited to once again bring our amazing community together.
WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?:
It is free-form dance to a soundtrack that is designed to take you on a journey from a deep reflective space, all the way up to a driving high energy peak - and back down again. Some people meditate, some people do yoga, and some dance into ecstatic joy. The most important thing is that other peoples' safety is honored.
TEA BY THE INFUSION LOUNGE:
The Infusion Lounge is an Intentionally curated space with a delightful selection of aromas, tastes, smell, lighting, and subtle soundscapes. The magic of the Infusion Lounge allows people to take a moment, connect and engage with one another. We are excited to share with you this experience of relaxation, rejuvenation, and celebration!
XOCOLATL
JoJo Silverman will be offering a ceremonial xocolatl beverage for $3. Xocolatl (bitter water) is a traditional cacao (chocolate) drink dating back to the Aztec and Mayan cultures that opens the heart and mind increasing available energy and focus. This potent "hot cocoa" uses heirloom variety, hand peeled and roasted, Guatemalan cacao beans and will be created specially for the new years occasion using superfoods and herbs. A perfect complement to the practice of kirtan, Cacao has been called the "food for the shift".
****CO-CREATIVE ALTAR & ART-SPACE****
Alena Hennessy, local artist and author, will facilitate a co-creative altar just for this event - an altar where you will be able to write, draw and paint your intentions into a glorious and bold new year! We're really excited about this To find out more, you'll just have to come on New Years Eve! :D
CHILDREN Please note that children are welcome to attend with their families, but there will be no childcare provided. We ask parents to keep your children with you and help them to respect the quiet times, ESPECIALLY during the intention-setting ceremony. This is important. Thank you! ****
Children 12 and under free~
VOLUNTEERING: There will be a limited number of work/trade options for people who would like to participate but who are tight with funds - or who would like to contribute in a non-financial way. If this is something that interests you, please email Samata at om@sangitadevi.com
