MOSAIC S3E1 | Culture • Psychedelics • Community
Some things don’t die, they go underground, gather strength, and return. This Spring, we’re building MOSAIC around that idea: perennials, cycles, the quiet work of coming back.
We’re hosting it inside a restored treasure. The original palms that lived there for over a century are gone now, but the space is alive in a different way. You’ll enter through the gardens, past rare orchids, floating turtles, tropical plants, and flower-lined paths, the air shifting as you move deeper in.
MOSAIC is back for season 3. We took a breath, and now we’re stepping into a space that understands change. A victorian glass dome in the middle of a city that keeps forgetting to look up.
The night will have panels that showcase depth and insight, performances that resonate and resound, and enough unstructured time for the conversations you didn’t plan for.
Join us for an evening of return, renewal, and the kind of moments that don’t quite repeat but somehow come back different and better.
We have a limited pool of tickets for those experiencing financial hardship. Please reach out.

Aikebom is a Toronto-based trio pushing the boundaries of groove-driven live music. Blending Brazilian rhythms, Latin jazz, 70s boogie, rare groove, hip hop, soul, and deep house, the group delivers an improvisation-heavy sound built for dancers, deep listeners, and late-night vibers alike. The trio features Dave Gouveia (One Step Beyond, Ivana Santilli, Arkells), Santosh Naidu (Toronto Tabla Ensemble, k-os, the ROOTS, India Arie, and co-producer of Chililin' & Grillin'), and Martino Lozej (Trackheadz, West End Records).
