Soul Jam

Part game, part conversation, all fun. A party built to go past small talk.

I started Soul Jam because I wanted my own parties to be different. Not louder. Truer. So I made a deck of cards and a little structure, and the first night in Chicago a guest came into the kitchen and said, "Deb. Look out there." Strangers had paired off and were shining.

Here's how it works. You arrive. There's candlelight, good food, good things to drink, and a deck of cards on the table. You draw someone's name, and your only job for the evening is to make sure that before they leave, they've had the experience of being gotten. Someone else has drawn yours. That's it. Nobody performs. The hardcore introverts love it.

It's worked on a Rotary Club of old-school Southern businessmen who'd known each other for decades (misty-eyed, and they booked me three more times). On families who thought they knew everything about each other ("Ross, I never knew that about you"). On a roomful of leaders at their final dinner, who pulled out the deck unasked.

The next one

Saturday, October 24, 7 pm, at my place in Marietta. Everyone's welcome, men and women, partners too. No prep, no homework, just come. Room for a few more. Email me at hello@itstimeformoxie.com to claim a seat and get the address.

The deck

Soul Jam: Uncommon Connection. A deck of questions and a way to play that makes it easy for people to connect, be real, and experience being seen. $35. Email me and I'll send you one.

Want one at your place?

I'm working on a way to help you host your own. Tell me you're interested and you'll be the first to know.
