By day, it’s a typical creative studio in Alexandria, by Saturday (26th October) it will undergo a transformation into The Night Creatures Halloween Party, a night of dance, yoga, tantra, and cacao.
DJs YokoO, Carl Bentley and the Future Sound of Yoga will be playing deep house and tech house, the fancy dressing and neon paints are encouraged but don’t treat this like your typical rave.
Not when you can join a 5 Rhythms dance session to ‘get into your body’, tap into your sexual energy in a tantra workshop, or wind down at the end with a late night soothing Kundalini yoga session. For your raw pleasure Cacao, Acai and other Superfoods will be served courtesy of Superfeast and Amazonia.
