Ego Free Jam

About this event

Get Tickets A monthly improvisational sound journey for musicians and non-musicians alike, in a beautiful and cozy space. WHAT HAPPENS? Together we go on two journeys, each lasting about two hours, with emphasis placed on listening to and supporting each other. Dancing, stretching, and art making are welcome. Bring an instrument or use ours. 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 ;) There is a bar area and loungey art installation for breaks and conversations.

The Delight Factory has four areas, the main area is for music making, the bar, back yard, and Vibe Check audiovisual environment are for conversations. WHY ‘EGO FREE’?
