Stirring scene, a meeting to raise spirits (6)
I believe the answer is:
seance
'meeting to raise spirits' is the definition.
(meeting for talking with dead spirits)
'stirring scene a' is the wordplay.
'stirring' indicates anagramming the letters.
'scene'+'a'='scenea'
'scenea' anagrammed gives 'SEANCE'.
(Other definitions for seance that I've seen before include "Meeting conducted by medium" , "Meeting held by a medium" , "spirited meeting" , "Spiritualist session with medium in charge" , "Spiritualist meeting, all hold hands" .)
