Sanctuary is a live sonic experience through sound bath and a live DJ set curated with choir vocals and deep grounding elements curated by Lola Nychole AKA DJ Brilli accompanied by Lana J.
This is meant to be a grounding and meditative experience with floor seating to bring the audience back into their bodies finding “sanctuary”.
There will also be a set design and decor to provide a safe place embodying tranquility, peace, and balance. This event will be for those who are searching for a sacred space to connect with something higher through themselves—similar to a church service but with music connecting with God through sound and grounding.
There has been nothing like Sanctuary.
Sanctuary provides a safe place for those who need a place to belong and music is a universal language. It’s meant to be healing and transcending.
*Floor seating is suggested as it will be similar to a jazz night with your friends.
