Founded in 2021 by Larissa Belcic and Michelle Farang Shofet\, the trans-disciplinary collective has roots in landscape architecture\, visual art\, performance\, and nightlife. \n \nThe name “Nocturnal Medicine” speaks to the power of night. There is a potency in the dark hours that opens us up to shadowy ways of being\, seeing\, and feeling. Their work seduces through the senses and draws people into the heart of our wounded world. From that place\, the medicine occurs—the balm that moves us towards transformation. \n \nAmongst their body of work\, Nocturnal Medicine has created sanctuaries for ecological grief\, climate-aware seasonal rites\, chapels for extinction\, and raves for public healing. They have designed immersive social experiences across diverse platforms\, including in nightlife (Nowadays\, Honcho\, Dripping)\, cultural institutions (Lincoln Center\, Performance Space NY)\, and universities across the country (Yale\, UVA\, MIT\, Syracuse). Their work has been celebrated in The New York Times and CityLab as bringing a cutting-edge\, soul-centered approach to addressing the psycho-emotional impacts of climate crisis.
