OPENING TO EQUINOX - Copenhagen, Iluma presents world-renowned musician Benny Holloway & Satu Tuomela. Autumn equinox marks the one true balance point of the year, the moment light and dark stand equal before the dark begins its slow rise.
In Taoist thought, this is a threshold moment: yang begins yielding to yin, the harvest is gathered, and the body is invited inward. Yet even as we turn inward, leaning into community and connection stays just as important.
This one-day gathering moves through that threshold with movement, sound, and voice. Expect sensing, feeling, resting, dancing, singing - joy and sweetness, held together.
Join for one session, or stay for the full arc with both.
SESSION ONE -
Equinox Spiral with Satu Tuomela & Benny Holloway
13:00 - 15:30
This first sesion will be a guided somatic movement space tracing the body's own equinox: the pre-spinal patterns and cerebrospinal rhythms that hold our most fundamental sense of balance.
Satu leads through Body-Mind Centering and non-dual Tantric philosophy, working with the spine not as a fixed axis but as a living spiral.
Benny offers the soundscape in direct collaboration with her somatic language - sound and movement responding to each other in real time. A rare live pairing, opening the gathering's threshold into the equinox.
Soothing movement, intuitive exploration, a little yoga āsana, a little dance where everyone and anyone can join.
SESSION TWO -
Singing Circle with Benny Holloway
16:30 - 18:00
This second session is open to all voices, regardless of experience - no warm-up, no "can you actually sing".
Benny is known for holding a judgment-free space where singing becomes communal medicine, where the point was never to sound good, just to sound together. Voices layer, wander, find each other, drop out, come back in. It's less performance and more permission.
As the day winds down, this is where the season's stillness gets harvested into shared sound, a soft landing after movement (if you joined the first half but not a requirement!), before the group closes and everyone steps back out into the evening.
Loved by communities around the world, and one of the most requested parts of any gathering Benny holds. If Kirtan moves you, this will too - same devotional pull but with a different shape.
