THE WORLD.
Community
House Of Life delivers a scientifically proven sense of total togetherness and elevation at a time when people feel more disconnected than ever.
Euphoric, cathartic, affirming, and just a dang blast. I laughed and cried and felt just about everything possible in the span for an hour. A truly transcendent experience not to be missed!”

Stop reading this and buy your ticket so you can join me in my new religion. All you need to know going in is you leave feeling better than you thought possible. Exactly what the Dr. ordered. Go for the ride. You are ready.”

The performers are really very engaging, very talented, very passionate. They had everyone singing, dancing and uniting with some fabulous songs with some funky tunes. Respect the egg and respect yourself by getting a ticket!”
