September 28 – October 4, 2026
No equinox this week, no full moon — and somehow that made it stranger. Most of what's worth doing is happening in rooms that were never built for it: a gong bath under a Gothic cathedral's vaults, yoga inside a Victorian glasshouse after the gates close, a Persian musician and an electronic producer playing a vipassana hall, ecstatic dance in a church with the pews torn out, and a moxibustion workshop in an art gallery off Powell Street.
