Celebrate the equinox with an evening of mirth and celebration at The Berkeley Alembic
It’s been over two years since we threw a party, because we’re serious spiritual people and all. But even the ancient wisdom traditions recommend some revelry on occasion. So on the eve of the equinox, embark upon an evening of mirth and celebration at the Berkeley Alembic. At the heart of the evening beats the Late Night at the Alembic Show—poetry readings, tea, uncorked comedy, dancing and revelry. Catch it before it hits network TV! Here, luminaries and seekers alike weave a tapestry of insight and entertainment, illuminating paths of discovery amidst the pulsing energy of our community. In other words, people will speak into microphones, and you will probably enjoy it. And, of course, there will also be the usual Bay Area party accouterments of epic DJ dancing, exotic apparel, and deliciously meandering conversations over fine and kindly-served tea.
Embracing the Alembic’s ethos to “MEDITATE • MOVE • IMAGINE • INQUIRE”, this gathering invites all who seek to joyfully explore the edges of community, consciousness, and creativity, as well as those who like to skulk, gossip, and speculate about who is actually enlightened. Whether you arrive as a seasoned voyager of the Alembic’s waters or a curious newcomer, the night promises an atmosphere of open-hearted engagement, intellectual alchemy, and fun.
Tickets for this forthcoming affair are available now for those who have what John Keats called “negative capability”—the ability to pay for an event before you know the entire schedule. For those who require more certainty, more details about the lineup will emerge closer to partytime.
