On November 1st, The Animus Society™ art salon & speakeasy will reopen its magical doors, following a triumphant première in May. Cloistered within the confines of a 15th-century monastery, this hidden jewel extends the vision of Animus Hall™, a monument to historic architecture and contemporary vision, forging a new paradigm. AnimusLive™ cornerstone Assistant Producer @fraydikyt will coordinate this epic night. Exquisite Animus Co-host @CECILIESTURICH and Poet Laureate @blockmuse will return. The Animus Society™ is exclusively for those drawn to beauty, mystery, and meaning. The journey begins at a secret entrance where curated Art is displayed on meter-high digital screens flanking the marble staircase leading up to the inner door. Guests then descend the Ritual Stairs, a journey as symbolic as physical. They move from the surface world into an illuminated substratum. Each step marks the passage from darkness to enlightenment, from the superficial to profound understanding. Atmosphere, conversation, music, and delightful performances by Singers, Dancers, and Poets intertwine to form an ever-evolving tapestry. Guests enter a hidden realm, encouraging one another to explore, embrace, and ascend. Within this haven, each distinct environment reveals a facet of the soul: The Parlour exudes Prohibition-era glamour, vanity, and intimacy. The Mirage, an exotic Persian bathhouse, shimmers with copper, illusion, and desire. The Crypt, emanating a heightened serenity, boasts priceless artifacts and whispers of Shakespeare. The Marquis Room, with echoes of Gatsby-esque elation, welcomes all who wish to dance and be merry. Each room is a living canvas of thought and sensation, where the line between self and story disappears. This is not an event. It is an encounter with what lies within each of us. A delicate dance unfolds. Artists and muses, collectors and creators, dreamers and visionaries. Our gatherings are limited to a select number of thoughtfully curated individuals, each possessing a unique aura. Bespoke cocktails and Champagne are but notes in this symphony. An awakening begins at the moment of entry and lingers long after departure. Animus speaks to the essence of the soul: the balance of masculine and feminine, the shadow and the spark, our hollow caverns that thirst for beauty, connection, and transcendence. Première attendees included esteemed Member Key Holders @bysmashtoshi, @DigitalArtWeek, @ganbrood, @jjoemorgan, @Pedromino, @piterpasma, @Roolznft, and @suye_co. Who will join us this time? If you feel drawn to explore this hidden world, where time stands still and the possibilities are endless, we encourage you to reach out. Some doors only open when asked. DM for serious enquiries. ~ Animus 🎩 Original silent film by Anahi Clemens
