Our Story
Our Mission
Rooted in the dreams of the late Shakana Howard, Phoenix Den was inspired by her discovery of cannabis’s healing and relaxation benefits dealing with her health conditions. Alongside her husband, Tyrone Howard, they founded High Society Relief (HSR) to share these benefits with others. Initially a Café and Lounge, HSR faced challenges due to COVID but later reemerged as a dispensary, keeping Shakana’s spirit alive.
Shakana’s passing in January 2022 left Tyrone devastated. A pivotal meeting with his business partner, Nick, in the fall of 2022 sparked a new vision inspired by Shakana’s original dream of a social lounge. Together, they transformed the space, building Phoenix Den ATX by hand as a tribute to Shakana. The result is an exclusive members-only cannabis lounge, offering a unique, intimate experience.
