“By sending me down a path to perform rituals in a space that actually has a past of ritual magic being performed, the line between truth and performance once again blurs (...) Babalon stands as one of my favorite immersive experiences in a long time." Erik Blair - Haunting.net

“(The Society Now: Babalon) is just enough to tease future possibilities and excite people who are more familiar with the story while also being accessible to those without any knowledge about The Society Now before their recent appearances. (...) A great way to dive back into this specific brand of cultiness.”

Kevin Gossett- Noproscenium.com 

“The new immersive theater experience The Society Now sets its sights on approximating the feelings that might drive one to such cults. You get on a trail, alone, and hike from one experience to another. I have to admit, my own experience was to feel enchanted--for better or worse--by the cultists I met on my own way.”

This personalized ritual event is a solo experience and is created for one individual at a time. As such, any groups who purchase tickets will not go through together (but we will do our best to give you consecutive arrival times so you will go through 10 minutes apart). After your purchase, you will receive an email with an exact arrival time during the hour that you selected (e.g. if you purchase an 8:00 ticket, you may be assigned a start time of 8:00, 8:10, 8:20, etc.) The ritual is approximately an hour long.

History of The Society Now: 

The long-standing spiritual group known as The Society has existed in self-sufficient monastic seclusion since retreating to their home deep in the Angeles National Forest since 2017. They have had no contact with the outside world in this time.

However, The Founder recently heard the call to share The Society’s unique spirit-world-view with the public once again and has sent Society members back down the mountain to receive new Seekers. They arrive with a fresh name and perspective and will now forever be known as: The Society Now.

The white-clad members of this famously mysterious organization have spent the last several weeks traveling down the Arroyo Seco to arrive at the Devil’s Gate Reservoir. Recognized as a site of spiritual significance by everyone from the indigenous Tongva peoples to participants in the modern Occult, Devil’s Gate Reservoir is an ideal location for spiritual purification and guided exploration of the self.
