Poranguí Live in Bethesda (World Bridging Tour) with Ashley Klein, and Biko Casini (of Rising Appalachia)

Presented by Mettā Creative & Plant Based Pirate

📅 November 12, 2025  | 📍 The Bethesda Theater |  Doors at 5:30 PM

🌀 “A Bridge Between Worlds: An Evening of Ritual, Rhythm & Remembrance”

Join us as we rekindle the sacred fire first lit when Poranguí came to DC with us in 2022. In partnership with Mettā Creative and Plant Based Pirate, we gather once more for a soul-stirring journey with world-bridging musician, Poranguí, and co-facilitator Ashley Klein.

Together, they’ll guide us through a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional experience of healing and celebration, through sound, movement, and collective presence.

🪶 THE EXPERIENCE

Expect a fully immersive evening:

•⁠  ⁠A ritual performance and improvised live set accompanied by Ashley’s vocal guidance and visuals
•⁠  ⁠Dance, ceremony, and ancestral reverence in community
•⁠  ⁠Communal vendor Plant Based Pirate & Poranguí merch + intentional space design

🦋 Poranguí’s cross-cultural looping performance weaves Indigenous rhythms, sacred chants, and live instrumentation into a dance floor ritual that awakens the body and spirit. Ashley Klein holds space as both guide and mirror, inviting us to remember our connection to Earth, to each other, and to the sacred.

✨ This is more than a concert, it’s a rite of celebration and inspiration.
