Soundbaths, Shamanism, Starlight and You!
Every year the Starlight Festival in Bangalow transports locals to the celestial plane with soundbaths, shamanic journeys and in-depth everything. Taking attendees through time and space with a sound healing, you can learn to play the singing bowl, browse the market or access ancient knowledge.
Featuring Alice Miyagawa, a teacher of harmonium, chanting, mantra meditation, and vocal techniques for singing and meditation. She is also the wings behind The Harmonium Choir – a wonderful group of harmonium players who offer a unique sound healing modality for health and wellbeing. Alice will be leading initiates towards enlightenment with her daily yoga sessions.
Austen going Viral on 2020
Austentayshus is one of our fiercest satiricists. Speaking the unspeakable, the unflappable self-confessed provocateur is back for three shows in the New Year.
So what’s his take on 2020?
2020 has been a remarkable year. After 40 years as a comedian I haven’t been able to travel, and even though there are very few towns (1) where I am still welcome, and even fewer venues (2) who will still have me – I’m itching. Isolating from the world though, is not new, as most entertainers are antisocial misanthropic arseholes, so we love our own company. But I do miss insulting people and hassling others. I know it won’t last forever… but what if it does?
