Night Mirror: A Psychic Salon is an intimate, late-night activation that will be featured live inside Lotion Magazine’s highly anticipated rave event. Running from 12AM–2AM, this unique collaboration invites attendees to pause, reflect, and set an intention before fully immersing themselves back into the energy of the dance floor.

Raving has always been about more than just music—it’s a form of escapism, a return to self, and a modern ritual. Night Mirror gives attendees a chance to connect to that spirit in a deeper way. Guests are invited into a softly lit space, tucked away from the main floor, where a guide offers one-on-one conversations rooted in traditional practices such as tarot, energy reading, and breathwork. Each interaction is designed to help participants release what they no longer need, focus on what they wish to carry forward, and step back onto the dance floor with renewed presence and energy.

This is not a performance or a show. It’s a lived experience, an intimate offering designed to merge with the energy of the rave itself. Every guest leaves Night Mirror carrying a personal intention, which they then bring into the collective movement of the night.

By creating a quiet ritual space within Lotion Magazine’s rave, Night Mirror: A Psychic Salon transforms nightlife into something more meaningful: a moment to pause, reconnect, and move forward lighter, freer, and more open to the possibilities of the night.
