Let’s Exorcise!

A Community Catharty Party

Sinners, Perspirators, Jazzercists! Grab your sweatband and join us for an interactive theatrical exorcism of the things holding us back. That artifact from your past that doesn’t belong in the trash, but needs to get the hell out of your life? You know the one. That sweater from your former friend, the ugly souvenir from that messy weekend, or the letter you wish you hadn’t kept from your ex…? If you feel ready to move on…bring it to Let’s Exorcise! and OFFER. IT. UP.

With a little help from our consummately qualified Catharty Captains, some motivational jams, and a tug or two on our therabands you just might get to give your object - and yourself - a new story.

You bring the artifacts, we’ll bring the snacks and exorcism expertise. These objects won’t know what hit ‘em.

Your Catharty Captains for March 2024 (at the Movement Lab at Barnard College):
