The Psychedelic Assembly RESET - Carnival of Souls

All Souls Welcome this All Soul's Eve as we're turning 7,000 square feet of prime Manhattan real estate into a mind-bending, kaleidoscopic underworld circus! Explore 7 historic interconnected rooms filled with spirit spires, ancestor magic, and the Assembly’s unique brand of trickster energy.

They call it "shadow work," but why can't it be "shadow play"?

Remember as kids how we'd morph into creatures of the night, run the streets, scaring the shit out of each other, AND—best of all—take candy from weird strangers with permission? Well, we're bringing that vibe back—dancing with the dark side, laughing at death, and collectively remembering that our fears are only as real as we allow them to be.

Get spooky in our Dance of the Dead Hall, with the much anticipated return of legendary DJ Preskool, while the incredible DJ Ash Wood brings the chill vibes to the Athenaeum. Experience an epic light show by (of course amazing) VJ Joe’s Amazing Lights, with on-site harm reduction from DanceSafe.

Muertos Amados: Altar Activation: To celebrate the holiday, we’re offering a special Samhain ritual. Ash Wood will also be leading us as we activate our ancestor altar together on all souls’ eve—a night when the veils are thin, and the dead dance with the living.

To attend, please select our ancestral support tier when purchasing tickets. A deeper level of community connection…..IYKYK. ***please note that if you choose to join for this special event, there will be a 15 minute time window for early entry; beginning promptly at 7:15 and doors will close again promptly at 7:30 before opening up again to the general public at 8:00***

More details are coming soon, but FYI: these parties always sell out fast (IYKYK). So grab a limited Early-Bird Ticket NOW!

Our NO-ALCOHOL 🍄 RESET Events are quickly becoming NYC's premiere underground hub for the psychedelic community to dance, unwind, and connect.

After all, isn't it always a better party when everyone's on the same wavelength? 😜
