The Secret to Being a Legend

Lecture by Kasia Urbaniak

Followed by a screening of the Documentary Film, ‘The Ceremony’ 

Monday May 16th at 7.30 - 9.45 PM EST


Under the light of the Full Moon, join us for a very special event. 

Kasia Urbaniak will give a talk on the magic of reinventing yourself and creating a legendary life. 

This will be followed by a screening of ‘The Ceremony’ (2014).

The film honors the living legend who boldly defies many of the assumptions that The Academy is designed to challenge: the 85-year-old French dominatrix, Catherine Robbe-Grillet.

Come one, come all. This event is open and free of charge.
