Make your own botanical shrub with a former sommelier at Hekate. Let your senses and sensibilities guide you to create something tasty.

Make your own non-alcoholic botanical shrub with a former sommelier on select weeknights nights at Hekate.  The workshop is hands-on with a large variety of smells and tastes to explore. Everything you'll need to make a delicious botanical shrub iincluded along with a flavor expert for helpful hints if you want. Be a meticulous mad scientist or a jazzy witch. Space is limited!

• Over 20 (organic where possible) botanicals to smell, taste, and create with

• Organic kelp vinegar for you to infuse(seaweed is perfect for this, and you'll learn why)

• 750 mL apothecary bottle for your botanical shrub. Depending on how sweet you like, how much vinegar the botanicals absorb, and how much you dilute the vinegar you may get more or less than 750 mL (but it'll be close)

• Pre-Infused vinegar to smell, taste, and blend for a preview of your personal potion

• Organic simple syrup to sweeten your infusions

• White or Kraft-paper-style labels with basic art supplies to label your final concoction

• Guidance and ideas from a sommelier that you’re welcome to throw away, because this class is about hands-on IRL fun and exploration of aromas and flavors, not perfection or pretentiousness.

Important Safety Notes:

This class is not recommended for pregnant people. We can't speak to the safety of the botanicals or unpasteurized vinegar for people pregnant/nursing.

This class is sensory-focused and not an herbal medicine class.

All of the botanicals offered will all be on the “Generally Recognized as Safe” list from the FDA and we can help with some general food safety recommendations, but since we’re not medical professionals or food-safety scientists we can’t guarantee what you create is 100% without effects, especially regarding drug interactions or medical conditions. Ask a doctor if you're concerned about anything, and we'd be happy to provide the ingredients which will be available.

Less Important Notes:

Extra bottles available for a reasonable price

The vinegar flavor of your shrub can be covered up quite a bit and the vinegar is high quality. If you hate vinegar you may not enjoy this class, but if you’re ok with hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, or kombucha you’ll likely be ok

You can bring other sweeteners if you’d like (honey or maple syrup etc) but we're only providing cane-sugar-based simple syrup)

We recommend coming once to infuse and a second time to balance your infusion (sweeten/dilute) and share. You can take home your infusions too and do it yourself. The price for the class includes the 2nd visit to balance the infusion.

Join us for the launch of California Sober, a new monthly zero-proof psychedelic social series from the Psychedelic Assembly and Hekate!

Join us for the launch of California Sober, a new monthly zero-proof psychedelic social series from the Psychedelic Assembly and Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge!

Each month, California Sober will explore a different tailored theme or subculture within the psychedelic world — from neurodiversity nights to psychedelic singles mixers, to gatherings for Ayahuasca aficionados and more.

Every installment will bring together a unique mix of people, ideas, and perspectives drawn together by their shared interest in the month’s theme, all in a mellow social setting. Think of it as a mini-version of our beloved Find the Others events, hosted in a cozy, witchy environment with an incredible array of non-alcoholic refreshments to purchase.

This first gathering is a chance to experience the vibe, meet new people, and help us shape the direction of future California Sober events by sharing what kinds of themes or topics you’d love to see us curate as meetups!

Whether you're sober-curious, psychedelic-curious, or simply looking for a night out that doesn’t require alcohol, California Sober offers a new kind of community experience, one that celebrates connection, clarity, and the many flavors of psychedelic subculture in NYC.

It began with whispers in a dimly lit room. In the 1840s, the Fox Sisters—and the legions of mediums they inspired—ignited the Spiritualist movement that swept through Victorian parlors and presidential campaigns alike. Contacting the dead wasn't merely a parlor trick: It was a political statement, a declaration of self that still echoes. Séances attracted suffragists and scientists, skeptics and charlatans, giving women a voice in a society that often refused to hear them. But as Spiritualism surged, it also blurred the lines between faith, fraud, feminism, and financial opportunity, drawing figures as varied as Harry Houdini, Victoria Woodhull, and even modern self-help gurus into its ever-expanding orbit.

From wartime séances to the rise of televangelists, from Victorian ghosts to goop-approved wellness rituals, When We Spoke to the Dead unearths the forgotten roots of today's obsession with manifestation, mysticism, and the power of belief. Exploring America's deep-seated hunger for the unseen—whether through politics, personal empowerment, or grief—this book traces how the supernatural, once condemned as heresy, became the ultimate commodity.

Step inside the séance room. The spirits have been waiting.

Step through the veil and into the glow.
Bewitching elixirs, haunted beats, and our famous yearly costume contest for the boldest souls.

Come help us kick off Sober October and celebrate our Fourth Anniversary! Yup, four years ago we signed a lease dreaming of a "sober bar," back when no one had ever heard of a sober bar. We had no idea what to do, really, or what to expect, so we blindly fumbled our way along, discovering a whole world of NA spirits, beers, wines, and more. Add to that all the delicious drinks with adaptogens, mushrooms, kava, and, of course, our house made elixirs. From people coming in asking for actual alcohol while reassuring sober people that NOTHING in our space contained booze to being named America's #1 Sober Bar by TimeOut, it's been an interesting journey! And we wouldn't be here without all our trusting customers! Cheers to you!

Our staff of seers and sorcerers will be on hand to guide you into the future. There will be free Hekate swag while it lasts and we'll be kicking off Day #1 or Sober October, our FAVORITE month! All set to a spooky soundtrack that will mesmerize and enchant! Please join us!

Join us for our monthly “tarothon",” The Enchanted Card Party, with readings by Lady Rhea, Rita Segarra, Susan Hwang, and Mystic Louis.
