INDIA.ARIE | ACOUSTIC SOUL

The Listening Room by J. Fields™

An evening of music, reflection, and presence.

Friday, December 4, 2026 6:00–10:00 PM The Collective | Seattle, Washington

Featuring a Special Guest Appearance

A Room to Return to Yourself

Some albums deserve more than a casual listen.

Released in 2001, India.Arie's Acoustic Soul invited us to consider identity, self-worth, love, and what it means to live authentically.

Twenty-five years later, those questions remain.

For our final Listening Room of 2026, we're gathering 75 guests for a candlelit evening centered around this remarkable album.

One album. Played in full on vinyl.

No phones. No conversations during the listening.

Just music, attention, and the opportunity to hear yourself again.

There's something different about listening to an album from beginning to end, surrounded by people who have agreed to give it their full attention.

No scrolling. No distractions. No pressure to perform.

Just the opportunity to experience the music, notice what it brings up, and share what feels meaningful afterward.

The Experience

From the first record to the final reflection, every part of the evening is designed to create space for deeper listening.

Over four thoughtfully curated hours, guests will experience:

• A live DJ set by DJ Lion

• A spoken-word welcome by Tia Naché

• Acoustic Soul played in full on vinyl

• A 60-minute guided reflection led by Joshua Fields, with our special guest present

• A shared group photograph with our special guest

• A keepsake reflection journal, created in collaboration with Memoirs to Millions

• Light reception food and thoughtfully designed hospitality

This is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and connect through music.

A Few Things to Know

Is this a concert?

No. The Listening Room is a curated vinyl listening and reflection experience, not a live concert.

What does the special guest appearance include?

Our special guest will be present during the 60-minute guided reflection, followed by a shared group photograph. The conversation will be facilitated by Joshua Fields. This is not a concert or meet-and-greet, and individual interactions are not included.

Will food and drinks be available?

Light reception food is included. Additional beverages will be available for purchase at the bar. Collector's Edition guests receive a welcome drink.

Can I use my phone?

The listening and guided reflection portions are phone-free. We ask guests to honor this shared commitment to presence.

What about parking?

The venue's parking garage closes to incoming vehicles at 6:00 PM. Guests planning to park there should arrive before 6:00 PM.

Your Invitation

You spend so much of your life responding to the world.

The Listening Room by J. Fields™ Music is the medium. Attention is the mechanism.
