“Antidote is an offering and prayer. It’s an interruption, hacking, a portal, a medicine. A ritual response and physical undoing, of the lie that we are not our own, that we are not free,”

Antidote agreements.

A series of statements and agreements before entering the Antidote space.

Please 'repeat after us' after each statement you read.
