Physical Mediumship with Smoke Cards1st September 7:30 pm

Spirit work can feel frustrating:Too much in the head. Too many “was that real?” moments. Too much talk, not enough tangible results.

This evening we change that.

Smoke cards are a classic technique of Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC). By moving paper over a candle flame, soot gathers and faces, symbols, and messages from the unseen emerge. It’s one of the simplest and most direct ways to visually communicate with spirits and your invisible helpers.

You’ll be guided step by step, hands-on, in a ritual setting:

Learn the method and create your own smoke cards.Explore how to read images for yourself and others.Learn about practical and spiritual safety.Experience a live, collective mini séance with the cards we make together.

Take home physical evidence of your contact.

This isn’t dry theory.It’s embodied practice.

Under expert guidance of Marc Wilke, the youngest publicly demonstrating séance medium of Europe, you’ll enter a space of ritual, spirit communication and practical mediumship.

Doors open at 7:00 pm. We begin sharp at 7:30 with closed doors.Duration: approx. 2 hours

DM us to reserve your spot. Spontaneous attendance is possible but reservations will be prioritised.

Chaos, Earth & World: Looking at Greek Mythology with Fresh Eyes
2025-09-06 20:30 - 22:30
Chaos, Earth & World: Looking at Greek Mythology with Fresh Eyes

With PhD. Carlos A. Segovia

Pt. 1: Humans, Gods & Titans Mirroring Each Other

What do you really know about the Greek gods and goddesses?What if the purpose of the stories told about them was to make us think about ourselves?What if they were to be, that is, the ever-living forces that make and unmake the worlds we live in?

To explore these questions, we will examine together and discuss:several images taken from Ancient Greek architecture and statuary; andseveral textual excerpts from Hesiod’s Theogony, the Homeric Hymns, Heraclitus, and Pindar.

And because the Greeks loved enigmas, we will focus on and try to decipher, more specifically:a fragment by Heraclitus according to which gods and humans die each others’ lives and live each others’ deaths, plus a few verses by Pindar;Apollo and Dionysus’s single sanctuary at Delphi, from which each one withdraws, however, depending on the time of the year;a goddess’s cult at Eleusis on life’s limitlessness and the stress of Apollo’s oracle on life’s limit;Gaia’s double joy, when she feels her body through the sound of Dionysus’s flutes and the roar of lions and wolves, and when she feels instead sung by Apollo’s Muses;the relation between Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus, who can be said to be one and many;the difference between Olympians and Titans, world and proto-world.

0. Introduction: eyes through which we gaze and through which we are seen
1. Mortals and immortals in the mirror of each other
2. Apollo and Dionysus, or life’s two senses
3. The goddesses and the oracle: Eleusis and Delphi
4. Of wolves and Muses: Gaia’s double joy
5. Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus, or how we become what we are
6. Olympians and Titans, world and proto-world

Carlos A. Segovia (PhD) is an independent British-born, Spanish contemporary philosopher and diagrammatic artist currently based in Berlin and working on meta-conceptuality, contingency and worlding in a post-nihilist key, at the crossroads of the philosophy of mythology.

SURFACE/TENSION
2025-09-20 19:30 - 22:30
SURFACE/TENSION

A sound-and-kink performance combining rope, needles, contact microphones, and physiological sensors, “SURFACE/TENSION” breaks down the barriers between internal experience and external expression by sonifying a body in stress. Through a suspension bloodletting ritual, the performer’s body is made vulnerable and monitored during the performance. Sensors and microphones capture the details that our eyes and ears can easily miss. Through sound, we are able to track the body’s journey through intensity to transcendence.
