wellandgood.com reports on the upcoming July 13, The Big Quiet—in conjunction with Well+Good—which will be taking over Summerstage, for what will be the meditation social club’s largest event yet. Picture a “conscious market place” with brands like Outdoor Voices, Splendid Spoon, Sky Ting Yoga; music performances alongside meditation; and a wellness-savvy crowd that looks like they shop at places you need to know about. Tickets, $25, go on sale today.
It’s the latest mega experience created by the fast-growing group, which started just a year ago (at Summerstage, coincidentally), says founder Jesse Israel, who got 500 people there in the rain and has seen interest in the social meditation scene grow like crazy. “There’s something really special, there’s an energy, about people coming together to socialize and connect around meditation,” says founder Jesse Israel, who previously ran a music label and said the passion’s similar to what you see in the music world.
The event kicks off at 6 p.m. for mingling and perusing in the marketplace, and at about 7 p.m., Israel will kick off the meditation with some opening remarks. He’s deliberate speaker, and tends to temper his role as inspiration leader with a heaping tablespoon of reality and self-awareness. When I ask him what he’s going to say in front of 2,000 people, he laughs and says, “Something not preachy, that’s for sure.”
