Held in a community circle format on the 3rd floor of the center, this event is free of charge (donations accepted) and will provide space for folks to gather face-to-face. It will be a place where people can connect in a vibe of safety, spiritual communion, openness, honesty, and non-judgement to share. My hope is for this to be a compassionate and open-hearted ‘show and tell’ for adults, a place where the inner child can have space to experience emotional release, connect, and heal through the joy of supportive human connection!

For this iteration, I will be trying something that was suggested to me recently. This ‘Show & Share’ will start off with a theme. So, the first round of sharing will be focused on the phrase “stories of summer.” Stories, memories, pictures, poems, songs… please bring something to share with the group that is from and/or reminds of past summer experience from you life.

Then, if there is time, we will open the floor to a round of more freestyle sharing… fears, joys, and get into deep places that are often difficult in surface-level conversations, stories, poems, songs, life experiences, creative emotional expression, dance, photo albums… all are fair game for the freestyle round!

-At the open and close of each meeting I will facilitate a short sound healing and guided meditation. Also, if a few people bring instruments, we could do a peaceful jam session at the end of the event… I’m always up for those!
-While I don’t wish to make any topics explicitly off limits, we will practice compassionate and respectful communication. There will be a ‘talking stick’ of some sort, so the only ground rules will be: don’t interrupt while someone is sharing, don’t respond directly to a share without asking permission first, and please do not use derogatory/demeaning language or point aggressive communication/anger at anyone.
-There is no commitment required. Come to one circle or come on a regular basis. This is not a closed or ‘regular members only’ event.
-I will bring a limited amount of snacks. Anyone who wants to bring food and/or non-alcoholic beverages to share, you welcome to do so.

I hope to build a supportive and connected community around this gathering, which will be held on a recurring basis (regular recurring time open to group discussion and potentially subject to change).

If you have any questions, please reach out to Jason at MetalionMusicOfficial@gmail.com or (508)254-0263.

*Please note that the end time of the gathering will be organic and will flow with being in the moment on that day. 5:00pm is a loose target. Anyone who wants to come but needs to come after 3:00pm or leave before 5:00pm can feel free to do so knowing that it will be received with acceptance and grace.*

Peace & Respect,
Jason Karol
