Hello Glasgow Friends,

I hope you’ve been enjoying the weather. That last breath of summer is going strong!

The Autumn LoveJam Meetup is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share this with you all. For those of you that don’t know about it lovejamglasgow is the local jam of the UK-wide lovejam.community, and part of the wider initiative to find alcohol-free spaces that still offer people the joy, connection, creativity and acceptance that we all seek.

Why I’m doing this

Aside from the fact that I deeply resonate with the Lovejam Community’s ethos. The Lovejamn framework is a fantastic blank canvas on which to a) develop my Community Music practice and b) practice my facillitation skills.
I’ve always found it challening to facillitate concious spaces and this challnge is tickling my brain in great ways!

At the start of September I attended the annual Lovejam gathering and got to see so many facillitators doing their thing. It was awe-inspiring This a limited capacity event, so make sure to RSVP soon. The meetup is donation-based (£5.00) or free for those who can’t afford it. We want everyone to feel welcome and part of this beautiful community.

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Much love, Elias

p.s I’m also helping run the upcoming 1.5 Months All dayer Come along!!! I’m most excited about the; Open Improvised Group Session: 5.15 - 6pm conducted by Raymond MacDonald (bring your own acoustic instrument).
