The Longest Night: Welcoming 3I/Atlas with Cacao

About this event

During the longest nights of the year, two days before the Winter Solstice, something rare approaches our skies: Comet 3I/Atlas.

As this celestial visitor passes through our solar system, we gather to witness, to ceremony, and to welcome what comes from beyond.

This evening blends science, ceremony, and collective presence. Together we move through an experiential lecture on Comet 3I/Atlas, a cacao-supported meditation, guided breathwork under the night sky, and a reflective sharing circle — closing with music and quiet integration.

Important note on cacao & allergies

The cacao ceremony includes ceremonial cacao with coconut milk and optionally may contain Blue Lotus (mildly psychoactive). A plant-free cacao option is always available.

Please inform us of any allergies or dietary restrictions when booking.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or use antidepressants or heart medication, participation in the cacao is not recommended — you are still very welcome to join the rest of the evening.
