Awaken with Ritual Steel

Arizona Power Exchange is pleased to welcome back Ritual Steel November 13-15, 2026! Awaken is the RS brand for our multi-day event, and is a transformative ritual piercing weekend intended to provide a unique and educational experience, as well as a first look for many people into the world of body-stress rituals. Open to any consenting adult who purchases a ticket. Through piercing, weights, hook pulls, cheek spears, flesh suspensions, and other piercing rituals, the producers of Ritual Steel will work with the participants to provide coming-of-age transformation, catharsis, rebirth, and other energetic or spiritual revelations through extreme sensory experiences. Typically, Awaken events are anchored by a workshop, social, and ritual. In Phoenix, we will have a number of additions before the main event group hook pull on Sunday, and your weekend ticket includes access to everything. There will additionally be an APEX play party on Saturday night that you can choose to attend if you desire.
