Scream into the unknown for a moment of catharsis at House of Yes this weekend

Scream into the unknown for a moment of catharsis at House of Yes this weekend

The election is finally over—which means we can all take a moment to cathartically let go of all the stress and anxiety we’ve been feeling. 

If, for some reason, you’ve been feeling the urge to scream into the unknown, we suggest you turn your attention to House of Yes, the iconic warehouse venue in Bushwick that prides itself on its culture of inclusivity.

The destination is offering New Yorkers the chance to just let it all out for this weeend.

On X, the venue explained how the screaming session will work.

“Every night this weekend (thu/fri/sat) we will be having a Communal Cathartic Scream at the club at midnight,” wrote the business. “We will stop the music, count off, and scream together. Screaming into the void is better when you do it with friends.”

It turns out that House of Yes is actually onto something: screaming can be a way of releasing difficult emotions, creating a sense of community (if you do it with others) and helping people tap into their inner strength, according the BBC.

However, experts warn that scream therapies like this one should be paired with psychotherapy and other scientifically proven methods of regulating your emotions.

If you were planning to attend one of the screaming sessions this weekend, you might as well go on a night that resonates: tonight (Thursday), the venue is hosting a “pop princess” night playing hits by your favorite divas; Friday you can dance to disco and electronic music spun by the iconic New York DJ Eli Escobar; and, on Saturday, DJs Caleesi & Sarah Kreis and Berlin-based DJ Kotoe will be on the decks.
