Spirits of Resistance

Raise a glass to the rebels of the past! Join us for Spirits of Resistance, a-one-of-a kind winter evening where radical history, ghost stories, and great drinks come together.

Set in the spirit (and spirits) of 10th-century resistance, this interactive storytelling experience dives into how Spiritualism became a powerful tool for women’s activism and Black liberation. You’ll explore real historical artifacts, hold primary documents, and meet trailblazers like Harriet Wilson—a Black entrepreneur, novelist, and celebrated spirit medium who defied every rule of her time.  

Whether you’re here for the tea or the tipple (you get both!) this isn’t your typical history talk. You’ll sip on complimentary wine and enjoy tea service, all while learning how marginalized voices channeled the beyond to speak truth to power.

Come curious. Leave a little haunted–and totally inspired.
