Public Reception WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2017, 7pm – 10pm
Celebrating the primal orgasmic energy of creation, Olly Olly is pleased to present The Alchemy of the Sex Witch and Other Tales of Love. As we continue to heed the call and power of playfulness let us immerse ourselves in an extravagant cuddle coven dripping with crystals and glitter and infused with sacred obscenity, sacral chakra energy, sensual revelry, spell casting, and the radical, alchemical powers of bliss, joy, pleasure, laughter, empathy, and community. Surrounded by the artifacts and icons of now, we’ll experience together a communal conjuring, creating change by remembering and reasserting our intuition and ecstatic creativity. Explore a cosmic Venusian rewilding amidst a lush velvet and lace sumptuously pink opalescent galaxy as we cultivate our sweetest abode and meditatively invoke our embodied divinity. Experience a radiant realignment of love and abundance for the New Year. Fan the sultry fires of libido and creative vitality with bliss-inducing enchantment, altered states of ethereal fairy light and magic, a jubilant affirmation of goddess energy, and Baubo-esque metamorphosis.
Join us for the Opening Reception and roar with us for the Full Blue Moon in Leo at Olly Olly on Wednesday, January 31, 2018, 7pm-10pm as we harness art as ritual and alchemical transmutation and recognize, confront, and convert rage, trauma, and anxiety into a celebration of the bliss, love, and ferocious sweetness of the all-knowing sacred feminine within all of us.
