Location: Surrender House (Actual Address Provided Upon Confirmation)

Step into the dark and mysterious world of Liminal Rites at Surrender House. This in-person event will transport you to a magical realm where ancient rituals come to life. Prepare to experience a unique and immersive journey through the unknown. The address will be revealed upon confirmation, adding to the mystery of the evening. Are you ready to unlock the secrets of the Dark Temple?

This night is for witches, wild things, saints and sinners—those who know that darkness is not the absence of light, but the womb it’s born from.

We gather to play, pray, and create.

To be fully met—shadow and shine, smallness and bigness, tender and feral.

Your whole magic belongs here.
