PORTALS at THE 101: A Late Night Listening Experience

SOULOLOGY: The Study of Soul

In the words of Grammy Award Winning Medearis Dixson, “Soulology is the study of soul.” This gathering is a late-night jazz lounge rooted in deep listening, improvisation, and cultural storytelling. A space where sound becomes a mirror and music becomes a pathway back to self.

If Soulology is the study of soul, then PORTALS is the practice of living it — creating immersive spaces where community, atmosphere, and music open pathways for remembrance and connection.

Through live improvisation and communal presence, guests are invited into self-exploration:

• What does your soul sound like right now?
• What are you ready to release?
• What is ready to be remembered?

For this BLOOM gathering, Soulology arrives as a collective — a living constellation of some of the Pacific Northwest’s most masterful musicians leading a renissance of creative expression. Their sound is fluid, soulful, and alive — inviting organic movement, release, and collective rhythm. Guests are welcome to dance, sway, or simply feel the music move through them as everyone becomes a living instrument.

Come to listen. To feel. To remember.

Tipping + Energetic Reciprocity

Our Portals artists and facilitators are offering live frequency, care, devotion, and years of cultivated craft in real time. If your body softens, if your heart opens, if you feel held, we invite you to honor that exchange. Tipping is a powerful way to pour back into the artists and stewards creating the portal. Cash and digital tipping options will be available on site. Give as you feel moved: generously, joyfully, intentionally.

What to Wear

Dress for movement, expansion, and arrival. Come adorned in what represents you: silky textures, cozy layers — intentional softness, devotion & radiance. Whether lounge, ritual, or cosmic jazz, bring your full expression. We recommend clothing you can breathe and move in, layers for warmth and grounding, and textures that make you feel alive. Arrive as art. Arrive as yourself. The portal meets you where you are.
