About the Event

Spirit of Play is a loosely guided, community-centered music experience where sound is a language for exploration and connection. Together, we co-create a shared container for discovery, collaboration, and spontaneous creation. Through the joy of music & play, we listen, weave rhythms, interlock melodies, create textures, experiment with sound & silence, and shed pressures of perfection, performance and expectation.

The focus is on creating new connections through deep listening — to yourself, to one another, and to the collective sound field. Come see what happens when we let go of rules and allow music to emerge organically, and give yourself permission to play, experiment, and be surprised.

The Spirit of Play reminds us that:

• there are no wrong notes
• presence over perfection
• silence is a friend
• curiosity over outcome
• less can be more
• conversation through music
• connection over technique
• LET’S HAVE FUN!!!!!

Spirit of Play is an open music meetup and improv circle (jam) designed for all. Whether you are a seasoned musician, a closet creative, or someone who has never touched an instrument before, you are welcome here. No music theory or prior experience is required.

Every Improv Circle session is shaped by those who attend, and includes some sort of beginning, middle, and ending. We hope to enter as strangers, and leave as friends!
