The 6th Annual Ayahuasca Monologues: Tales of the Spirit Vine
Evolver NYC is proud to announce the return of our most celebrated yearly event The Ayahuasca Monologues series at Santos Party House. Join us for a night of visionary stories involving the renowned sacred brew of the Amazon, now gaining so much popularity in the industrialized North. For centuries, shamans have drunk this powerful concoction to heal illness, obtain mystical insights, contact spirit guides, and explore magical worlds. Hear of experiences both miraculous and terrifying, humorous and adventurous, humbling and revelatory when Westerners access ayahuasca's incredible gifts.
This event will also function as a book signing for Chris Kilham's new book "The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook", a practical guide aiding seekers in making right and safe decisions about where to go, who to drink with, and what to expect.
Silent auction to take place. Evolver's tonics, tinctures and teas available for purchase. After-party to follow at nearby venue with jungle themed décor, jungle themed dress encouraged!
After the Ayahuasca Monologues, join Evolver for the after-party at Tropical 128 in Soho with DJ Spooky! The evening will be Amazonian themed and we encourage dressing to impress as your best interpretation of an exotic jungle animal. Think blue morpho butterfly, jaguar, piranha, sloth, spider-monkey, toucan, poison dart frog, anaconda...the list goes on!
We will serve drinks to match our jungle theme, including non-alcoholic beverages.
