Ceremony, devotional music & Ecstatic dance
with Sivani Mata, Madava & Gayatri
Candlelight & the sacred Forest temple awaits...
A beautiful evening of ceremony, devotional singing, outdoor fireside cosiness, late night snacks and ecstatic dance.
All candlelit for those who value in these things and a space of authentic connection and high vibration energy.
We are delighted and honoured to welcome various guests including Madava and Sivani Mata Francis to the beautiful Forest temple here at EarthHeart for a co created way to pass through this threshold along with Gayatri offering a guided ecstatic dance to see us through to midnight. There will be an outdoor fire to sit and warm your toes by and look at the stars and some hot food nourishment to see us through.
This event is a potent heart opening candlelit evening, with alters, beautiful space and with kindred spirit.
It is going to be very special and ticket are limited.
Passing through the veil
We will open with a ceremony of gratitude and prayers led by Jewels Wingfield, followed by a deep heart immersion into music as medicine : heart songs, kirtan and prayers with Madava and Sivani Mata. We will complete the evening with a second ceremony as a way to light our pathway for 2026.

Your Hosts For The Evening...
Sivani Mata Francis – Music as Medicine
She is an artist moved by a sensory and elemental exploration of life through practice that evokes the liminal experience of trance-like states of consciousness, and the centring of the awareness in heart. She believes in this process of deep inner work as a way to cultivate a harmonic relationship with the Earth. She is grateful for this journey she finds herself on and the practices that support her path. You can find out more about Sivani Mata here
Madava – Devotional chanting as prayer
Madava has been chanting and singing Kirtan with deep lineage since he was a child. Having grown up with this his entire life and has been his main offering to life for the past 50 years, he has as a profound connection to the roots of what it means to sing devotionally as prayer – The field of heart resonance when he sings is powerful for breaking open even the most armoured of hearts.
Gayatri Beegan – Ecstatic dance
She will carry us through to the midnight hour with amazing music and guidance to collectively build the energy together and raise the love vibration. Gayatri is known for her unique tunes and ability to create magic through movement and dance.
