before the flames had touched the sky
the frozen egg of time had cracked
within this egg existed all
— the crescent and the full
the wild and the still
the sprouting and the withering
the rock that crumbles into sand
and the rock that remains —
∞ Marisa
Welcome to the void—an invocation of the primordial elements, coalescing into form through an evening of emergent art and primal embodied expression.
We invite you to join us at the tea table, to enjoy herbal, non-caffeinated teas as we delve into the exploration of elemental aspects, articulated through the realms of body, sense, and sound.
Ritual theatre resembles a ceremony, leading its participants on a profound journey through their internal landscape by establishing a connection with the external world, integrating the two, and engaging in a dance with how our embodiment shapes our world.
In consideration of the intimate nature of this gathering, 30 seats are available each evening, and purchasing tickets in advance is recommended.
Choose an evening to attend the show; it promises to be a delightful experience whichever you select!
Follow Atelier on IG and email hello@antlalchemy.com to get updates on seating availability if you enjoy planning last-minute.
18+ Ages for the Show due to implied nudity

RITUAL GUIDES
April Rameé is a muse, a psychedelic herbalist, a sacred outlaw, ritual performer, and a time-bender. As a warrior of the light, she utilizes plants as her medium, her body as the canvas, and her voice to question the status quo.
Somewhere between the dark void and the light exists planet Earth, full of plants that know their mission and never apologize for existing.
She is on a mission to catalyze this permission through her art, igniting people’s subtle power, their inner knowing, and encouraging them to trust their nature and never apologize for their innate gifts, which the world needs.
Holly Jean Montoya
Holly Jean Montoya is a traditional craftswoman, medicine maker, tea enthusiast, guardian of beasts,
explorer of sound, student of the Earth.
Immersed in the sensuality of being by forging a life of beauty, she enjoys sharing the medicine of presence through nourishing moments of connectivity, with both the inner terrain and through deeply embodied experiences of the senses.
Marisa Papen (1992) is a Belgian poet, artist, activist & naturalist. She became internationally known for her evocative work involving religion, body freedom & censorship. Her art and activism unveil the raw simplicity hidden beneath cultural complexity. She understands our soft spot for beauty as a catalyst for a harmonious relationship with nature. It is Marisa’s quest to naturalize the human body in a world that has lost its connection with its origin. Offering her body as a symbol of freedom, she has collaborated with world renowned photographers and artists to visualize her message.
In 2020 Marisa founded with her husband Michael Chichi the creative non-profit EARTH FAMILY — offering art and poetry as service. Together they also form the contemplative artist duo DOUBLE BEING. They are creators of freedom & form – rendering visible that which has been hidden. Their union bridges photography, poetry, film, publication, design, objects & music.
Michael Chichi (1969) is a multifarious artist with work that spans across design, photography, film, music, curation, experiences and writing. Exploring a spectra of themes — patterns in nature, beauty, phenomenology, humanism, transcendence & perception. Michael’s desire is to create artistic and emotional beauty, to combine seemingly unrelated ideas into something new, and to stretch beyond the ordinary in pursuit of purpose and meaning.

Venus Codes (born Kim Doyle) has been a guiding force in Ceremonial Facilitation, Spiritual Healing, and Transformational Spaces since the age of 12. Her Deep-Rooted Passion is Initiating Souls into the Divine through Sacred Storytelling, Dance Prayerformance, Evocative Erotic Poetry, and Surrealist Experience Design. Every offering is a blend of Nature, Sensuality, and Spirit. As a Visual Artist, she has been exploring EcoSensual Photography—both as a Model and Photographer—since 1998, Witnessing the Interplay of Natural Elements, Humanity, and God Consciousness.
Venus sees both Art and Ritual as Portals to Divine Remembering. Her work spans over 10 years on International Stages—in Bali, Colorado, Guatemala, Tulum, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Germany, Portugal, and now, Taos. Her Events and Performances create Spaces where Spirit is welcome to Emerge, and all that is Present is Embraced, invoking Profound Transformation in the Collective Field.
As the Founder of SacredSensual.Life, Venus facilitates Transformative Hands-On Sessions, Archetypal Retreat Containers, and Erotic Event Production, guiding participants into the Nexus of Extasis, by exploring Sensuality, Sacred Sites, Spirituality, and Psychedelic States. For Venus, these Paths all Converge in the same Place – The Divine Unfoldment of Now..
