About this Event

🌞 Spark Jam Community Solstice Celebration – Dec 21, 2025

The Winter Solstice invites us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect — with ourselves, with each other, and with the rhythms that carry us through the darkest days of the year.
This special edition of Spark Jam weaves together meditation, play, music, and community in one long, glowing arc.

Join us for an afternoon and evening of presence, movement, warmth, and co-created magic.


✨ Event Flow

🕞 3:30 PM – Doors Open
Arrive gently. Settle in. Tea, mats, blankets, soft light.

🧘 4:00 PM – Guided Meditation with Anat
A grounding practice to open the body and soften the mind.

🤝 4:15 PM – Relating Games with Saena
Light, playful connection exercises to help us arrive as a community and feel at ease with one another.

🎵 5:00–7:00 PM – Spark Jam Collective: Live Music Journey
An improvised musical arc shaped by drums, brass, strings, voices, and the movement of the dancers.
No choreography. No setlist. Dance like no one's watching - no phones / photography or video of the journey
Just presence, breath, and community shaping the sound in real time.

🥗 7:00–8:00 PM – Potluck + Hangout Space
Bring something to share (optional).
Rest, eat, talk, stretch out, connect with friends new and old.
We’ll wrap up gradually as the energy winds down.
