An Evening to Reconnect and Recharge
After the magic of Anahata Festival, we gather again to rekindle the spirit, weave new connections, and immerse ourselves in the transformative power of movement, music, and sound.
Set in the serene beauty of 918 Bathurst, a former Zen temple with soaring ceilings and luminous acoustics, this is more than an event — it’s a shared journey.
The Flow of the Evening
💛 Cacao Ceremony – We begin by opening our hearts with a rich, charged cacao brew, shared in circle to ground, connect, and set intentions.
💃 Ecstatic Dance with Eric Mandala – Lose yourself in a global soundscape woven live by Eric Mandala — a master of world instruments, organic beats, and uplifting rhythms. This is a free-form, barefoot dance floor where you can move as you feel.
🎶 Soundbath Journey – We close the night in stillness, bathed in layers of soothing vibrations, allowing the music to settle deep into body and spirit.
