DRESS CODE : BLACK TIE / FORMAL WEAR

There’s something special about taking the time to adorn ourselves, express ourselves, and step into a space with intention. This is an invitation to be seen, to connect, and to remember how alive it can feel to gather in person.

Consider that what we wear affects how we feel!

So, wear something that makes you feel embodied, like you inhabit yourself differently, more fully, more sassily than you might have the opportunity to everyday. Something you feel confident in. Perhaps the thing that hugs your butt perfectly and helps you enjoy your own form more fully! The thing you secretly wish you had more reasons to wear.

The kind of outfit that changes the way you move, and take up more space. The one that makes you stand taller, flirt a little more, feel deliciously like yourself. An outfit that honors your shape instead of hiding it. Something that makes you secretly hope someone notices how good you look crossing the room.

Basically, your invitation is to don your most formal attire and pay attention to how (good) it feels to dress like this!

Fully acknowledging that maybe this is outside of your comfort zone and meeting yourself and us there!

Think suits, bow ties, pretty little dresses, sequins, heels, silk, velvet, top hats, dramatic earrings; details that are breathtaking and eye catching! 

Gender norms need not apply.

This is about expression, silhouette, texture, confidence, play, elegance, sensuality. 

For expression and appreciation sake — the simple human joy of witnessing one another in full expression.

Allow it to be an adoration of self – adorning your form in a way that leaves you feeling free and deeply you!

CONSIDER — 

This space will invite appreciation, attraction, expression, and human connection in a respectful and consensual way.

How do we appreciate beauty without reducing people to objects?

How do we celebrate attraction while still deeply honouring the humanity of the person in front of us?

There’s something about getting dressed up all fancy and feeling sexy in my skin that is fun and underrated in the realms of self expression and self expansion.

So here is the space to do that. 

Exploring attraction, as a safe space to connect.

I mean, is it not deeply human to appreciate the human from!? And celebrate our friends and loves!?

It is our deepest intention that this be a safe space to explore these themes!! Please note: This isn’t about “looking hot.” Tho hot humans is what we are!! This is about intentional self-expression through formalwear.

Connect with curiosity, warmth, playfulness, respect, and care.

The sensuality of being intentionally dressed.

Not necessarily revealing.

Not necessarily extravagant.

But clothes that create posture.

Presence.

Silhouette.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Throughout the night we’ll share -
• A multi-course meal
• Playful connection games
• (At times guided) conversations
• Eye gazing
• Table reshuffles and opportunities to meet new people and connect more deeply to those you already know! 

Everything THE EMBODIED SPACE creates is centred around connection: to ourselves, to the earth, and to one another. This experience is an invitation to explore self-expression and form as a path towards connection.

We cant wait to meet you in all of your black tie glory and expression!
