Soul-Fi Sessions: Sounds of Elul

Join us for Soul-Fi Sessions, an immersive vinyl listening experience curated by local DJ and sonic storyteller Smokes. This deep, soulful dive into sound and spirit is guided by the rhythms of Elul, a season devoted to reflection, repair, and preparing the heart for the new year.

Guided by an uninterrupted vinyl set and intention-filled prompts, we’ll move together through the session with six phases of an Elul journey:

Awaken – Let the sound jolt you into presence
Reflect – Turn inward and take stock
Repair – Listen with vulnerability and care
Return – Come back to your truest self
Prepare – Set intentions for the year ahead
Celebrate – Reemerge with joy, connection to yourself and community

Whether you’re rooted in Jewish practice or seeking a night of soul, sound and connection, you’re invited to pause, listen deeply and be part of something meaningful.

What to Expect

• A thoughtfully curated vinyl set by DJ Smokes
• Guided prompts with reflective themes to deepen your attunement
• Cozy, reflective atmosphere + journaling materials provided
• Light nosh, beverages and communal vibes

All are welcome. No need to identify as Jewish or have prior knowledge, come ready to listen, reflect and connect.
