Smash Expression Sessions:
ALL our provided smash items were previously to be disposed of and are of natural materials such as glass, ceramic, and wood. These items are gathered from our local non-profit thrift shops!

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!

Here is how your session will go..

For this 1 Hour session we offer the opportunity to Write It Out with your Listener in our lounge for 30 mins ($70 fee) before your 2o min smash session ($50 fee)..this gives the participants time with their listener before their session to sit down in our lounge and discuss what brought them in. Whether it’s about what is stressing them out, what mental health struggles they’ve been having, what secrets they’ve been harboring for too long, or any trauma they’ve been working through on their personal healing journey. They’ll take what they told their Listener and write it all out with colorful markers on your provided 20 smash items to take into their smash session and SMASH THE SH*T OUT OF THEM!
