Into the Ecstasy with Arkaya & Darren Austin Hall
INTO THE ECSTASY
Arkaya’s Temple x Darren Austin Hall ft DHM
Sponsored by Tmr.Tday (Dream Camp)
An immersive journey through live music, ecstatic dance, collective singing & sacred sound.
Two powerful voices, one shared vision.
After a summer of creating and sharing stages together, Arkaya and Darren Austin Hall come together to co-create a full-spectrum musical experience alongside the extraordinary live instrumentation of Luc Dupuis and Chris Boulianne (DHM).
Blending ecstatic dance, sacred sound, collective singing and newly created original music, this is an invitation to experience music as something we make together.
Not simply a concert to witness, but a living experience to become part of.
An evening to open your voice, awaken your body, move freely and connect through the transformative power of music.
What to Expect...
Our journey begins in an opening circle led by Darren Austin Hall, inviting us into presence, connection and the shared energy of the room.
From here, Darren guides us into ecstatic dance, where he and Arkaya weave their voices together over the infectious live rhythms and instrumentation of DHM. Sound becomes movement, and the music becomes a space to explore freedom, expression and play.
As the energy softens, we transition into an immersive live sound journey, blending spontaneous musical improvisation with brand-new original compositions created this fall by all four artists — Darren, Arkaya, Luc and Chris.
Finally, we gather in a closing song circle, bringing our voices together through collective singing, grounding back into our bodies and the connection we've created.
After a summer of musical collaboration, all four artists are bringing their unique gifts into something new — united by a shared belief that music is medicine, and its power deepens when we participate.
Come as you are. No singing or dance experience required. Just a willingness to move, listen, express and be part of something together.

DHM (Dirty Hippie Music)
Playing together for over a decade, Luc Dupuis and Chris Boulianne bring a wildly diverse world of live instrumentation, rhythm and play to the stage.
Luc is a renowned Canadian handpan and didgeridoo maker and multi-instrumentalist, while Chris is a Godin Guitars ambassador whose guitar and percussion work brings another layer of fire and musicality to their sound.
Together, they weave handpan, didgeridoo, guitar, bansuri, percussion and instruments from around the world into music designed to move people — literally.
After joining the very first Arkaya's Temple in 2025, the connection was immediate. They've been at the heart of the Temple sound ever since.
For this special collaboration, Luc and Chris bring not only their signature live instrumentation, but also new original music created together with Arkaya and Darren.
