Consciousness & Cocktails: The Alien Edition

The conversation begins after the event ends.

Two weeks after ALIENS, we’re bringing the community back together for an evening of conversation, connection, and curiosity.

Throughout the evening, we’ll hear a handful of short stories from community members whose experiences have challenged the way they think about reality. These aren’t debates or attempts to convince anyone. They’re invitations to listen with curiosity.

Then, the evening opens up.

Visit our DIY Zero-Proof Cocktail Bar, where you’ll craft your own drink using OLIPOP, Walker Brothers Kombucha, fresh herbs, citrus, botanicals, and other ingredients. Compare recipes, meet someone new, and continue the conversations that began at ALIENS.

We’ll provide conversation prompts throughout the room—but where the discussion goes is up to you.
