Presented during Climate Week, Sensuous Planet is a sanctuary for integrating the spiritual, emotional, and cultural dimensions of our hurting Earth. Together as a groovy unit we transcend the rational mind and ignite the spiritual realm, spinning webs of earthly connection late into the night.

A supremely cozy four-story loft in SoHo becomes our temple for this excursion. The night begins at 8pm with an energizing spiritual service from Earth activists Reverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir. Nocturnal Medicines leads us in a collective ritual to awaken our connection to NYC’s urban nature.

All through the night, movement artists Madison Wada and Laila Rosen flow through the space, guiding us to go deeper. Somatic practitioners cy x and Merritt Juliano offer 1:1 sessions for eco-sensual connection and release. A prayer room above facilitated by Grace Jung offers space for being with hope, grief, and love.
