SMASH

18 yrs+ ONLY

An alternative mental health self care and therapeutic activity.

Smash Expression Sessions:

ALL our provided smash items were previously to be disposed of and are natural materials such as glass, ceramic, and wood gathered from local non-profit thrift shops.
Additionally these items are to be more gentle to dispose of and don’t add to the ever growing micro-plastic pollution.

A Smash Session isn’t just for your anger.. it’s for pushing your limits, boosting confidence, breaking social norms, fun stress relief, and for expressing all our emotions!

When people hear we have a rage room (smash room) we really want them to know our rage room (smash room) is for anyone that wants to process something visually and physically. Whether that is venting out daily stress, releasing grief, or just a new way to bonding with friends, family, or loved ones. Most smash room participants that come to try out our rage room express it’s a wildly cathartic experience that typically follows with billows of laughter after the tears!


OUR BOUNDARIES, RULES, AND REGULATIONS TO KEEP VENT A SAFE SPACE FOR EVERYONE

If aggressive behavior is displayed towards our property, employees, other participants or oneself you will be deemed unsafe to participate.

For either session we offer an add-on option called Write It Out..this gives the participants an extra 15 mins before their session to sit down in our lounge and discuss what brought them in. Whether it’s about what is stressing them, what mental health struggles they’ve been having, or any trauma they’ve been working through on their personal healing journey. Take what you discuss and write it all out on your smash items, we that provided you, with colorful markers. Then take these items with you into your smash session and SMASH THE SH*T OUT OF THEM!



WHERE DO WE GET OUT ITEMS???? WELL!..
