Ego Free Jam - First Saturdays

The Ego Free Jam is a monthly night of improvisational music for musicians and sound makers of all skill levels. **WHAT HAPPENS?** Together we go on two improvisational music and sound making journeys - electronic and acoustic - each lasting about 2 hours, with emphasis placed on listening to and supporting each other. Dancing and body movement are encouraged, feel free to make art, or just listen. There are no spectators, only creators. Allow for the magic to happen! The opening ritual is an invitation to overcome our resistance to self-expression. Take a little risk and delight in knowing that it didn't kill you ;) * 7:30 PM: Doors open, time to settle, mingle, try out instruments * 8:00 PM: Jam #1 begins * 10:00 PM: Jam #2 begins This is a shoes-off event. Bring your cushy socks & let loose. NOTE: We now alternate between electro-acoustic and acoustic-only jams. Even months are acoustic. July is electro-acoustic. **RESERVE A TICKET** *Pay as you're able (suggested $25).* Nobody turned away. Reserve [here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ego-free-jam-first-saturdays-tickets-1988718660047?aff=oddtdtcreator). **GETTING THERE** **Subway** C to Rockaway Ave (exit closer to Manhattan), J to Chauncey **Citibike** docks nearby **WHAT'S THE INTENTION & VIBE?** The idea is to let go and allow ourselves to play. There are no audiences at an Ego Free Jam. We're all participants, even when we're just quietly enjoying the groove. Jams include musicians and sound makers of all experience levels. They are safe spaces where we explore our creativity and where we strive to support others in their explorations. Dancing, stretching, and art making are welcome. The Delight Factory has three areas, the main area is for music making, the bar and back yard areas are for conversations. **WHY ‘EGO FREE’?** The ego is the part of us that wants to keep us safe in the world and tries to make us NOT do something. It shows up as fear and embarrassment. When we get the urge to "do it right” out of the way, we can play, improvise, take a little risk, mess up, see that it didn't kill us, and feel the delight in that piece of freedom. **DO I NEED TO BE A MUSICIAN?** Not at all. You can pick up an instrument and improvise, vocalize, move your body, make something, or just listen. **WHAT TO BRING?** You are encouraged to bring an instrument, dancing body, art supplies, yoga mat, favorite toy, whatever inspires you and is fun for you. Or come as you are. We have percussion instruments, a piano, mics, & more. **CAN I COME FOR PART OF IT?** Sure! Try and come before a jam starts but you're welcome any time. Stay for however long or briefly you want! **THE SIX JAM GUIDELINES** \- Explore & Play\! \- No judgment \- of yourself or others\. \- Listen to others\.

A new field of consciousness is generated. It is a palpable experience" \-\- Jonathan Rose

WTF (Weekly Tuesday Folders)
