For Artists, Venues & Organizers

Be found byBe found by

Somebody is looking for exactly what you do — a kirtan on a Thursday, a teacher who works with breath, a room that holds forty people and feels like a temple. Make sure they find you.

You may already be here. Search your name.

Claim your page See the ecosystem

Free, always. AI-assisted, so it takes minutes — no card, no contract.

The ecosystem was already here. It just had nowhere to live.

Seekers, teachers, musicians, organizers, venues — this world has been weaving itself together for generations, one gathering at a time, scattered across a dozen tools that never spoke to each other. BrightStar is the ground underneath it. Your page is how you step onto that ground — and once you do, you can see everyone else on it, follow them, message them, and build the next thing together.

Read what the ecosystem actually is
Minutes, not an afternoon

You don't start from a blank box.You don't start from a blank box.

Type your name. We find what is already written about you across the web, draft the page from it, and hand it to you to correct — because you are the only one who knows what is actually true.

Step one

Find yourself

With tens of thousands of artists, teachers and spaces already here, the first screen is a search, not a form. Most people find themselves and take the page that already exists.

Most people are already listed

Step two

The draft writes itself

Your biography, your tags, the questions you are always asked — drafted from what is already published about you, then handed over for you to correct. You are the only one who knows what is actually true.

Step three

Save, and it's live

No review queue, no waiting on us. The page publishes the moment you save it, and you can keep shaping it forever after — add your dates, your music, your gallery, whenever you like.

Live in minutes, not an afternoon

No blank pages, no staring at a cursor. Save and it is live — you can keep shaping it forever after.

What your page carries.What your page carries.

Not a directory listing with a phone number. A real home for the work — your music, your video, your writing, and a way to reach everyone else standing on the same ground.

Your story, in your words

A full biography, a tagline, the things that shaped you — written by you, or drafted for you and edited until it sounds right.

Every event you hold, listed free

Your dates live on your page and across the directory — free, whether you sell tickets here or not. Point them at Eventbrite, your own checkout, a WhatsApp number, or nothing at all. Listing is not a sales channel you have to join.

Every link you own, in one place

Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, your site, your mailing list — the whole set, on a page that also holds your story, your dates and your tickets. A link hub that is actually somewhere worth landing.

An address of your own

A permanent link with your name in it, to put on a poster, in a bio, at the end of a set. It does not expire, it is not rented from a platform that might change its mind, and it goes on working long after the gig.

A gallery worth looking at

Photographs of you and the work, presented the way a record label would present them, not squeezed into a thumbnail.

Your music, from Spotify

Your discography and a player pulled straight from Spotify, so somebody can hear you on the page they landed on instead of being sent elsewhere to decide.

Your videos, in one place

Talks, sets and sessions from YouTube, gathered and ordered by you — the ones you'd actually want a stranger to watch first.

Your channel — writing, video, podcast

Long-form pieces, episodes and interviews live on your own channel here, each one built to be found by people who have never heard your name. Podcast and video posts carry their transcripts, which is what AI search actually reads.

Press, awards, and what people say

The festival that booked you, the record that got reviewed, the words a student wrote afterwards. Proof, in the places people look for it.

People who follow you

Seekers can follow your page and hear when you announce something. The audience stays yours — we are the ground, not the owner.

Kindred spirits

The artists and teachers you stand beside, shown on your page and yours on theirs. Discovery runs in both directions.

Talk to each other

Message another artist, venue or organizer directly. The booking that starts a tour, the room that says yes — no agent, no intermediary, no email address to hunt down.

The people you create with

Name your regular collaborators and your pages point at each other. Invite one who isn't here yet and you earn a share of what BrightStar makes on them, for as long as they stay.

Your lineage, made visible

The teachers, traditions and practices that shaped you — each one linked to everyone else who names it.

The questions you're always asked

What to bring, what a session is like, whether beginners are welcome. Answered once on your page — and structured so search engines quote them back.

Readable by the machines

Structured so Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can read and cite your page. That is increasingly where somebody starts looking for a teacher — and a page they cannot read is a page they will not mention.

Two decades of trust

Meeting us for the first time?Meeting us for the first time?

BrightStar has carried conscious gatherings — kirtan and retreats, sound healing and ceremony — for more than twenty years. The tools are new. The trust isn't.

Every one of these started the same way yours will: a name, a photograph, and a few minutes.

Three doors, one ground.Three doors, one ground.

Whatever you carry into a room, there is a page shaped for it.

Artists & teachers

Musicians, kirtan artists, facilitators, healers, guides — anyone whose name is the reason people come.

For artists

Venues & spaces

Temples, studios, retreat centres, land. The rooms that hold what everyone else brings.

For venues

Organizers & producers

The people who make a gathering happen — festivals, retreats, weekly sits, one glorious night.

For organizers
What it costs$0

Nothing. Genuinely nothing.Nothing. Genuinely nothing.

A page costs nothing to make and nothing to keep. There is no trial that ends, no tier that unlocks your own biography, no invoice in ninety days. Being in the directory is free because a directory with gaps in it is worth less to everyone standing in it — including us.

List your events free whether you sell tickets here or anywhere else — the listing never depends on it. If you ever do want to sell through BrightStar, that is a separate decision, made later.

What the page becomes.What the page becomes.

Everything above is live today. These two are what the groundwork is for — and why a page now is worth more than a page later.

Coming soon

A booking agent that never sleeps

A retreat centre posts the weeks it has open and what it needs to charge. An organizer posts the night they want to fill. An artist posts the weeks they can travel and the budget they need. BrightStar puts them together and hands over a clean way to agree the terms — no six-week email thread, no chasing a phone number through three inboxes.

Tap a role to see who it connects you to
The ecosystem already exists. Which one are you?

Choose your place above — or light the whole thing — to see how it connects.

The page you make today is the listing that gets matched tomorrow.

Coming soon

A feed that fills itself

Every event announced, every page published, every story written — flowing into one living feed of the whole movement. Not another account to feed: it draws from what you have already put on your page. Shape a post when you want to; ignore it entirely and it still works.

Nothing extra to manage. That is the point.

Free forever · No card · Live the moment you save

Before you start.Before you start.

Yes. Creating and keeping a profile costs nothing, and there is no card to enter. Ticketing is priced separately if you ever choose to use it, and a free tier exists there too.

Quite likely — a great many artists, teachers and venues are already in the directory from our own research. The first screen searches for your name so you can take ownership of the page that exists, rather than creating a second one. Everything on it becomes yours to edit or remove.

Artists and musicians, teachers and facilitators, healers and guides, venues and retreat centres, festival producers and organizers — anyone whose work gathers people. You do not need a following, a label or a booking agent.

No. A page stands on its own — your story, your work, your lineage. Add gatherings when you have them, and leave it quiet when you don't.

Three ways: people browsing the directory by practice, place or tradition; search engines and AI assistants, which your page is built to be read by; and the network itself — appearing beside the artists and venues you are connected to.

You do. Your words, your photographs, your audience. Take it down whenever you like, and nothing follows you out the door.

Not at all. Listing your events is free either way, and plenty of pages point out to wherever tickets already live — Eventbrite, your own site, a message. If you do decide to sell here, the free tier takes no platform fee.

Minutes to have something live — it publishes the moment you save. Everything after that is optional, and it saves itself as you go, so you can leave and come back.

Why BrightStar

Why anyone builds here.Why anyone builds here.

BrightStar is the world's first curated hub for the global consciousness movement — the top artists, teachers, events, venues, retreats, and editorial content from the entire conscious community, gathered onto a single platform. Nothing like this has existed before. Until now, the movement has lived scattered across thousands of personal websites, Eventbrite listings, Facebook events, and word-of-mouth threads. We've spent more than two decades pulling it all together. We're a spiritual event ticketing platform and conscious event marketplace, founded by father-and-son team GuruGanesha Singh and Akal Sahai Khalsa, born from a shared passion for sacred music, community, and service. Akal began this journey serving the movement as tour manager for Snatam Kaur, and that direct relationship with the artists and the practice has shaped everything we've built since. Over more than 20 years, we've powered tens of thousands of events, reached over one million attendees, and facilitated more than $100 million in ticket sales worldwide.

Underneath that hub is connective infrastructure: BrightStar links the people who make the movement — artists and teachers, venues and retreat centers, organizers and promoters, and the seekers who show up for them. Two engines power those connections. On the ticketing side, our checkout, scanner, attendee management, and analytics tools are built for transformational gatherings — from a single weekly meditation circle to multi-city kirtan tours. On the marketing side, we operate three programs working in concert: a built-in Affiliate Engine so promoters earn commissions sharing your event; a Brand Ambassador program where every ticket buyer automatically becomes a referral source; and Amplify — our paid marketing service that runs targeted Meta ads, email campaigns to our 500K+ list, and custom creative production for events that want professional growth.

Most event platforms (Eventbrite, Meetup, generic ticketing) treat transformational gatherings the same as concerts and conferences — sorted by date and price, surfaced by ad spend, with no understanding of the modalities involved. BrightStar is built specifically for the conscious community: artists are organized by lineage and tradition, venues are tagged with the practices they actually host, and discovery is shaped by spiritual interests rather than generic categories. Browse our editorial in the blog for the longer-form take on what makes BrightStar different.

For organizers, we're built to be the easiest, most aligned home for your work. Our Seva tier is completely free with zero platform fees because some events should never have a paywall between practitioner and seeker. Elevate adds the gallery, abandoned-cart recovery, affiliate engine, smart pricing, and all revenue tools. Amplify layers email campaigns to our 500K+ list, Meta ads, custom design, and video hero production. See pricing for the full tier breakdown, or explore the creator hub if you're ready to list your first event.

We honor the full breadth of contemplative paths — Hindu and Yogic, Buddhist, Sufi, Christian contemplative, indigenous and earth-based, Western mystery schools, and modern integrative approaches like somatic therapy and conscious dance. We work directly with the teachers and retreat centers who define this space — Krishna Das, Deva Premal, Snatam Kaur, Eckhart Tolle, Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn — alongside thousands of independent practitioners building quieter, deeper offerings.
