For this special edition, HELD is opening the experience to anyone who wants to join in the joy of slowing down, connecting, and being present.
Guests will enjoy beautifully crafted puzzles alongside Ace Hotel Brooklyn’s food and bar offerings, set within a warm, welcoming atmosphere. As the evening unfolds, the energy shifts from thoughtful play to movement and release, with dance-ready sounds curated by DJ DAYI.
This gathering reflects HELD’s ongoing mission to center accountability, creativity, and community—while honoring the joy that emerges when people come together with intention.
