Forgive us, for we have sinned… and we intend to do it again.
For centuries, we've been taught that our appetites are dangerous. That wanting more makes us ungrateful. That joy must be earned, indulgence restrained, and deslre kept in check.
But who decided that wanting more was a sin?
This Thanksgiving weekend, we invite you to our FEAST OF DESlRE, a decadent, immersive celebration of the Seven Deadly Sins, where forbidden appetites become sacred invitations to discover what truly makes us feel alive.
Inspired by the opulence of Renaissance art, ancient mysticism, and the transformative power of ritual.
Here, we celebrate our hunger for joy, energetic lntimacy, abundance, attention, power, and connection.
Your wishes are not something to confess. They're something to celebrate!
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: A SACRED RECLAMATION
What if the Seven Deadly Sins were actually seven doorways into the hidden wishes of the human psyche? Through Jungian-inspired shadow work and symbolic ritual, we'll discuss the wisdom concealed within each sin:
🍇 GLUTTONY — The Sacred Appetite: How much joy can you allow yourself to receive? Reclaim the freedom to hunger for more.
🔥 L UST — The Divine Deslre: Celebrate passion, longing, attraction, and the exhilarating feeling of being fully alive.
💰 GREED — The Hunger for Abundance: Where have you learned to settle for less? Give yourself permission to ask for what you truly want.
👑 PRIDE — The Sovereign Self: Release the need to make yourself smaller. Celebrate your beauty, power, and worthiness.
💚 ENVY — The Mirror of Deslre: What if jealousy and envy could reveal the deslres you've been afraid to acknowledge?
⚔️ WRATH — The Sacred Fire: Transform suppressed anger into boundaries, agency, and the courage to claim your power.
🌹 SLOTH — The Joy of Surrender: Release the pressure to perform, produce, and achieve. Discover the sense-based art of simply receiving.
Each sin holds a shadow. Each shadow holds a secret. And each secret offers an opportunity for liberation.
🕯️ THE RITUAL: THE FEAST OF DESlRE
Our evening begins with a ceremonial journey into the sacred nature of appetite.
Through guided breathwork, embodied awareness, shadow exploration, and intentional connection, we'll encounter deslres we've been conditioned to suppress.
❤️🔥 What do you secretly want more of?
❤️🔥 What joy have you denied yourself?
❤️🔥 Where have you confused being grateful with settling for less?
❤️🔥 What becomes possible when you give yourself permission to want?
Together, we'll transform shame into curiosity, longing into intention, and wishes into a conscious act of magick.
