With Jo Sterling

3:00PM Doors · 3:30PM Session Begins

Join us for a soul-nurturing journey on the last full moon of the year designed to help you reconnect with yourself and others in these unpredictable times. This one-of-a-kind experience redefines movement as a fully sensory and connective exploration—an invitation to "soften and reclaim our humanity" through timeless practices rooted in culture and tradition.

Led by Jo, an aerialist and movement artist, we’ll begin with an opportunity to imbibe in traditional cacao, setting intentions and fostering meaningful connections within the group. From there, we’ll clear and awaken our senses using ancient practices inspired by Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Gentle, intentional movement will help release tension, open the pathways of breath, and align the energy centers of the body.

To deepen the connection, we’ll venture into a partnered movement practice, allowing the wisdom of our bodies to guide us in embracing a softer, more authentic version of ourselves. The session concludes with a powerful metta meditation, extending compassion to ourselves and our communities.

We've crafted the session to offer a safe, empowering, and inclusive space to explore playful, intuitive, and deeply inspiring ways to connect for all. Our hope is that you leave with a renewed sense of belonging.

LumoOmbro Boutique · Private Holiday Shopping Experience

You are cordially invited to an exclusive evening of holiday shopping at LumoOmbro’s pop up holiday boutique, a curated collection of locally crafted, esoteric goods. Founded by Manena Frazier, former Head of the Visual Department at ABC Carpet & Home for fifteen years, the space is heartfelt and filled with unexpected beauty. LumoOmbro is more than just a boutique. It's an ecosystem with a secret lounge, an archetypal self exploration deck “Divinatrix,” a flower shop and cultural hub, and a place to explore yourself and others.

From pottery to poetry, archetypal clothing to candles, drawings to divination tools, every item in the shop is lovingly chosen by Manena to reflect a piece of the human soul, in all its light and shadow aspects. 

The evening will include complimentary wine, apple cider, personal Divinatrix readings, music, and the company of some of the most spirited, artistic humans in New York City. Purchases can be gift wrapped at no extra charge.

With Douglas Rushkof

Doors 7:00PM · Show 7:30PM

A cross between a poetry slam and a colloquium, the Mic Check is CX’s version of the Algonquin Roundtable. Rant as performance.

YOU are the presenter. Do you have an argument, idea, modality, opinion, or meme to share? Perhaps a thesis about the Brat Summer meme, the possibility or impossibility of retrieving indigenous agriculture, the fascist origins of Elon Musk’s philosophy, or the hidden truth about UFOs? These are just some of the kinds of presentations we’re hoping to see. 

Please email jessica@cllctv.com if you’d like to give a 10-minute or under presentation. Powerpoints are most welcome, but not required. We’re hoping to develop a “genre" for these rants over time, but for now anything goes. If there’s time, we’ll also be inviting volunteers from the audience. 

With Matt Ruby

Doors 8PM · Performance 9PM

Misguided Meditation is a multimedia comedy-visuals-sounds HAPPENING about the mindfulness journey of comedian Matt Ruby (whom the NY Times has called “funny” and “button pushing”) featuring live visuals from artist Sophia Sobers and ambient sounds from musician Steve Pestana.
