Church… but make it an overnight experience.
Youth ages 12 to 17! Forget everything you think you know about a night at the cathedral. Join us Saturday May 29th through Sunday May 30th at the Cathedral of the Incarnation for an immersive, dusk-to-dawn journey. We’re stripping away the formal pews and leaning into a night of deep connection, mystery, and radical care for our planet and one another.
We aren’t just visiting the building; we’re living in it. Under the breathtaking glow of Gaia—a massive, touring installation of our Earth—we will explore what it means to truly inhabit this earthy home.
Hip-Hop Meditations: Find your flow with beats and mindfulness.
Tower Tour: A rare, bird’s-eye view of the world from the heights of the cathedral.
Midnight Mass: A hauntingly beautiful, candlelit service in the heart of the night.
Sleeping Under the Earth: Roll out your mat directly beneath the suspended globe of Gaia for a unique celestial slumber.
