Return to Eden / CHURCH

RETURN TO EDEN | GABRIELA BROOKLYN is the inaugural event in Graxxia's Solution Salon series — bringing together provocative thinkers, creators, and leaders from across disciplines and points of view to wrestle with the biggest challenges and possibilities facing humanity today, with the sanctity of the water — within and between us — a central issue. The premise is simple: many of the problems we face are, at their core, problems of relationship. Through discourse and debate, we’ll explore how we might come into better relationship with ourselves, one another, the divine, and the planet we share — and what we can do to move closer to Eden. After we’ve provoked, inspired, challenged — and perhaps disagreed with — one another, we’ll move to the dance floor for CHURCH, where ideological agreement is not required for belonging. CHURCH begins with guided movement and unfolds into a new kind of communal ritual led by resident DJ The Cosmic Pull / Jonathan Aston, weaving music, spoken word, wisdom, and inspiration from spiritual traditions around the world into a single shared experience. The full program includes: RETURN TO EDEN CHURCH RETURN TO EDEN confronts what separates us. CHURCH unites us as one on the dance floor — a new kind of religious experience that requires no shared tradition. Join us for all or part of the program. Doors will close at 6 for the Return to Eden Solution Salon Panel and reopen at 7:30 for CHURCH. You'll want to be there for it all — and stick around for the ending; it's going to be good!
