Zan's events & community happenings

The Rockin’ Kirtan Band offers a progressive blend of multicultural chants with familiar melodies designed to foster love and open hearts!  The band synthesizes the energy of light rock with the soul of sacred chanting!  Steve Biegel, the band leader on guitar and vocals, invites the community to be part of the band as it meditates, sways, chants and dances to the music.  Sabrina Harris anchors the Divine Feminine with rich harmonies and melodious solos as she plays harmonium. Jay Kent, one of the founders of the band, adds his Kundalini Yoga training and beautiful voice along with percussion. Jesse Biegel is a Berklee College of Music graduate, a vocalist and talented drummer. 

Continuing The ROCKIN’ KIRTAN BAND’S tradition, the evening begins with a Veggie Potluck Dinner from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. Kirtan meditation and chanting begins at 6:30 and ends at 8:30 pm.  Please bring a favorite veggie dish for the potluck dinner. 

This event is $10 donation at the door.

Darkness has fallen on the land.  The longest night of the year beckons us to ceremony, just as it did our ancestors.  It's not just the ceremony, but the ritual of continuity, the knowing that in the darkest hour, the light will return.  

At this turn of the old year to the new one, the Winter Solstice will be held at Rising Tide in a ceremony of Light that releases the old fears that cripple us  Ceremonialists include:  Marguerite Barnett dancing the Return of the Light;  The Venice Frame Drummers who drum in the attendees; The Children of Light who form a procession of light and hold the four directions sacred; Gail Swanson's Message from Magdalene, and The Rockin' Kirtan Band.  

Doors open at 6:30 and close at 7 pm when meditation begins.

Doors are closed at 7 when Meditation starts. By donation to Rising Tide.

REMEMBER - NO Lit Candles - NO open drink containers in the room.

MEN and well behaved CHILDREN are invited to attend.
