Nestled within the North Forest of CirqueDelic, The Mad Hatter’s Elixir Lounge beckons weary travelers into a vibrant sanctuary. Over a hundred plush couches are scattered amidst an eclectic decor, providing a perfect spot to unwind and indulge. In the distance, the rhythmic beats of the Ascension Big Top reverberate, hinting at the grand celebrations yet to come.

The legend of the Mad Hatter is woven into the very fabric of this lounge. Once a renowned alchemist from a distant star, the Mad Hatter arrived at CirqueDelic with a thirst for knowledge and a penchant for experimentation. Drawn to the mind-bending mists of Kaleido, he sought to harness their hallucinogenic properties to create the ultimate elixirs. In his quest, he concocted potions that could unlock hidden dimensions of the mind, leading to profound visions and surreal experiences. Many of these elixirs and recipes were left within the Elixir Lounge, in hopes that travelers would enjoy his mastermind creations.

Within this space, one can sink deep into their own mind, whilst being in a space of total comfort and relaxation. It is a safe space to explore, connect and indulge in the love that we all have for each other, and for the Psychedelic Circus herself.

Rumor has it that the Mad Hatter, once a spectral presence within the lounge, now resides in the tranquil sanctuary of Lucid Town (Chill Island). Having distanced himself from the overpowering effects of Kaleido’s psychedelic mist, he has embraced sobriety and a new purpose. In this serene enclave, he has turned his alchemical expertise towards creating soothing teas, known as “Chill n Chai, for the community. These teas, brewed from rare herbs and crystals found within the Psychedelic Circus, offer a calming reprieve from the festival’s intensity, providing clarity and peace to those who seek solace in this mystical oasis… The only antidote.
