Do you hear the call?
Space is intentionally limited to preserve the energetic container. Reserve your space early — this ceremony fills every year.

Mahashivratri, “The Great Night of Shiva,” marks a cosmic alignment where the upward flow of energy(Shakti) naturally supports deep inner awakening into supreme consciousness(Shiva).
It is said that on this night, the veils between the seen and unseen grow thin, inviting you into stillness, clarity, and communion with the divine within.
This sacred evening is an invitation to meet Shiva not as a myth, but as your own pure awareness—and to meet Shakti as your living energy rising in devotion.
Through meditation, sound healing, and ecstatic movement, you will:
Release old energetic heaviness.
Awaken your inner stillness and intuitive clarity.
Taste the dissolving of separation between you and the Divine.
