naked. open mic 12.27 @ Futures of Repair: A Social Dream Space by IM!

At the next naked., in honor of the winter solstice, we gather to release what no longer serves.

This night’s theme—over it—honors the sacred darkness: the pause, the exhale, the necessary ending that makes room for light to return.

What within you is still asking to be seen?
What have you rushed past, pushed aside, or declared yourself “over” too soon?
What patterns are you finally ready to lay down?
What are you still holding—quietly, tightly?

Before we receive what’s to come next, we must first make space.
This is a night for shedding.
For letting go.
For trusting that abundance flows more easily when our hands are empty.

Integrating our shadow is not a detour from the light—
it is the path toward it.

We’ll close this evening of release with a healing soundbath by , allowing the body to soften and settle into what remains.

✨ Come cozy. Come prepared.
BYOC — Bring Your Own Comfort: pillows, blankets, candles, journals, talismans, whatever helps you honor your process.
And don’t forget your art.

naked. is not your typical open mic.

It’s a curated gathering where creativity, vulnerability, intimacy, and intentional dialogue meet. A space that reclaims art as a spiritual and healing practice—where curiosity is welcomed, social norms are questioned, community is built, presence is practiced, and comfort zones are gently undone.

There is no mic.
There is no stage.
All art forms are welcome.

Those who enter are invited to be naked—free from the armor and masks we wear to navigate the world.

Created in New Orleans in February 2018, naked. asks a simple but radical question:

If you could be naked—without judgment—
how would you show up?
what would you say?
what would you share?
