Dearest Dreamers of this world and that,We, Lady and Lord Dosis, invite you to lie down and embark upon a most enchanting and whimsical voyage, the world premiere of ☁️ POETRY NAP ☁️ The Curious Wonders Beyond the Shimmering Mist ☁️ on Wednesday, October 21 at Root & Bloom Institute in Berkeley.
Together we shall venture where maps are of little use, with curiosity as our compass, following whispers and whims wherever they may lead.
Our giant hot-air-balloon bed, the Dandy Duchess, awaits, her great globe sighing with sleep, her sheets fluttering in anticipation. We’ll voyage together from the ground up, lying upon the carpeted Root & Bloom floor, so BYOBedding! For your comfort we recommend an ample nest of camping or sleeping mats, blankets, pillows, or inflatable clouds: the more plush, the more lush!
We promise: you are in for an otherworldly treat.
Ethereally, surreally, and really yours,
Lady and Lord Dosis
