PMS: Philosophical Musing Sessions

Dead Letter No. 9 isn’t just for dancefloor revelations — we’re opening the doors for something quieter, deeper, and just as electric.
PMS: Philosophical Musing Sessions is a new monthly talk series, devoted to the parts of us that don’t behave: the feral, the messy, the “too much.”

Curated and hosted by Ilana Gilovich, this series dares to trust the wild feminine as intelligent and worthy of a voice, by— you guessed it—convening during Ilana’s luteal phase each month. Buckle up, kids.

In this raw state, Ilana invites guests into unscripted conversations about life’s biggest questions — namely, what are we doing here and how do we stay close to what is most luminous, exalted, and alive in us?

This month’s guests bring embodied wisdom and visionary thinking from radically different corners of creative life:

This month’s special guest speakers are Monica Dogra + Athena Diaconis

Each session also features a new plant co-host… because we’re trusting the wisdom of plants, too.

PMS arose as a gentle rebellion against the algorithmic onslaught and the impetuous pace of technological development. What happens when we slow down, gather, and ask ourselves what matters most?

There’s only one way to find out. Come as you are… bleeding heart and all.

Come early, grab a cocktail, and let the musings begin.

Then stick around— free live music from Rodrigo Bonelli Quartet follows the talk. Acclaimed drummer and composer Rodrigo Bonelli brings his Brazilian-rooted jazz trio to our candlelit Foyer for an evening of sophisticated swing, bold compositions, and rich improvisation. With a Grammy-considered career and collaborations with jazz greats, Bonelli leads a group known for its deep rhythmic groove and magnetic musical chemistry — the perfect soundtrack for cocktails, conversation, and connection.
