A signpost to the gathering
The button on your listing opens your event's own website, or the public page where we found it. We simply point the way, and take no bookings or payments for your event.
For organizers, venues, teachers and artists
You're herebecause someone is looking for you.
A free directory of the conscious movement's gatherings, and of the teachers, artists, venues and organizers who hold them. We offer it as seva. Every listing is a signpost, never a box office.
Free to be listed, free to claim, free to remove
One place where the movement can be seen whole.
The conscious world has always been vast, and scattered across thousands of websites, newsletters and noticeboards. BrightStar gathers it into one place, so a seeker anywhere can find a retreat, a kirtan or a teacher, and find their way to them.
The gatherings, and the people
Beside the events are pages for many of the teachers, artists, venues and organizers who hold them, with their stories, their gatherings and links back to their own work.
Free, and offered with care
Being here costs nothing, and neither does claiming or removing, now or later. We look for what serves the conscious world and leave out what doesn't fit. When we miss, tell us.
How a seeker finds you.
Drawn from real gatherings and a real page on BrightStar.

Seen beside the wider movement
A seeker looking for a retreat, a kirtan or a breathwork circle meets gatherings from around the world, side by side. Yours sits among them, with its date and its place.

Sam Garrett at Vb Spaces Fri, Oct 23 AlicanteThe movement has never been small. It has only been hard to see.
Somewhere tonight a person is searching for a week of silence, a kirtan close to home, a breathwork circle on a Sunday morning. What would meet them sits on a page they may never find. BrightStar brings the gatherings, and the people behind them, into one place, so the right person can find the right room. This is our seva: a free service to the whole movement, to the seekers, the teachers, the artists and the rooms where they meet. Every listing points onward, never back to us.

Your own page may be here too.
Make it yours. It costs nothing.
Show us it's yours, then choose. For an event, we email a code to an address at the website your listing links to, or at the website of the venue or organization it's listed under. Keep it, and it becomes an event in a free BrightStar account of your own.
For a page, sign in or create a free account, then show us it's yours through the website, Instagram or YouTube your page already links to, or send it for review. If none of these works for you, write to us and we'll help.
Yours to shape
Change your event's dates, photo or link yourself. On a page, you can shape the story, the photographs and the links, whenever you like. For anything in a listing's description or questions, tell us and we'll correct it.
Your bookings stay where they are
Your booking link stays exactly as it is until you change it.
The same address
Your listing or page keeps its web address, so anyone who shared it still lands in the right place.
Claiming the page of a center or organization can bring the upcoming events linked to it along too.
Your choice, always
Rather not be here? That's perfectly fine.
Exposure like this often comes at a price. Here it's free, and until the day itself your listing can:
- Showcase your gathering on its own page
- Appear where seekers browse by practice and place
- Be found through Google, Bing and AI search
- Show up in the BrightStar app
- Reach followers of its teacher, artist or venue
- Be picked for our regional emails
If you'd rather go, you don't owe us a reason. Take an event down yourself in a few minutes, with no account needed, or write to us and we'll remove any listing or page for you.
What people ask first.
Usually we list without asking first, much as a community calendar or a newspaper's events listings often do. It's common practice: Google Search and Maps show events they find on public web pages, and Bandsintown and Songkick list concerts from ticketing companies and other sources, even before the artist has signed up. We gather what is already public, much as a public post on social media can be seen and shared by anyone while still showing who made it. Every listing likewise sends seekers on to your event's own website, or to the public page where we found it. A page for a teacher, artist, venue or organizer draws on what is already published about them. The choice stays yours: claim it, correct it or remove it, whenever you like.
No. We take no registrations or payments for your event, and no one books with us. The button on your listing sends seekers on to your event's own website, or to the public page where we found it, and no email is needed to go on. A seeker may choose to leave an email with us, to discover more gatherings like yours on BrightStar. That holds no place at your event, it is never passed to any organizer, and we do not sell it.
From what is already public. A listing draws on the public page where we found the event, most often the organizer's or venue's own. Its picture comes from that page, or is a photograph of an artist on the bill or of the venue; a few listings show a general photograph, or none. Most descriptions are rewritten with the help of AI, and many listings carry a few questions and answers written with AI. A page for a teacher, artist, venue or organizer is put together from what is already published about them, such as their own website, their music or a public biography, and its words are usually written with the help of AI. AI can get details wrong. If it has, tell us and we'll correct it. On a page you have claimed, you can correct it yourself.
No. A listing gives us no access to your attendee list, and we never write to anyone because they booked with you. The only people we write to through your listing are visitors who chose to leave their email with us, and we write about BrightStar and the gatherings on it, never on your behalf. Every one of those emails carries an unsubscribe link.
Yes. Being listed, having a page, claiming either and removing either cost nothing, now or later, and no payment details are needed. A claimed listing or page costs nothing to keep.
For an event, choose "Claim your listing or page" or "Remove it" on this page, or "Claim, correct or remove it" under the title of your listing. Show us it's yours with a code we email to an address at the website your listing links to, or at the website of the venue or organization it's listed under. Remove it, and its page stops opening within minutes, with no account needed. Or keep it: sign in or create a free account, then change the dates, the photo or the link yourself. For anything in the description or the questions, tell us and we'll correct it. For a page, claim it with a free account and edit it yourself; to take a page down, write to us. Either way, you can simply write to hello@brightstarevents.com with the link, or several links at once, and we'll take care of it.
A fuller directory, and the seekers a fuller directory brings. We hope some organizers who find us this way will one day choose to sell tickets here. A listing also lets us invite visitors who choose to leave their email to discover more gatherings on BrightStar. Many listings offer a link to find a place to stay nearby, and we may earn a small commission from the booking site when someone uses it. A few listings are shared under an agreement with the organizer, and on those we earn a referral commission they have agreed to. Otherwise we take nothing from you, and nothing from your tickets.
We are musicians, organizers and seekers who have served conscious gatherings for more than twenty years, building the directory we always wished this world had. BrightStar is operated by BrightStar Live Events, LLC, in Saco, Maine. Read our story.
We're glad you're here.
Claim it, shape it, or let it go. Freely, whenever you like.
