Meditation with Nina Simone.

Wild Is the Wind · Nina Simone · 1966

Sit on the floor, close your eyes and let one of the great voices do the rest. Wild Is the Wind is slow, strange and close: a record for a room that keeps still.

↳ Suggested: TUE 10 NOV · 7:30 PM. Any date works.↳ Pure Listen · up to 8 guests · about 90 minutes↳ At yours

Nobody is hosting this yet

The record and the plan are ready. Host it and it becomes your night: your room, your date, your guests, listed under your name. Change anything you like before it goes live. Side A lists it and takes the bookings; a free night costs nothing.

↳ How the night runs

Doors: shoes off, phones in a bowl, cushions on the floor.
Five minutes of silence with the lights low. Nobody leads anything; just breathe.
Side A with eyes closed. No talking.
At the flip: two quiet minutes. Stretch, don't chat.
Side B. The title song closes the record.
After: one word each about what you heard, then tea and talk.

↳ What you need

Cushions or mats for everyone, or ask guests to bring one
Low light: lamps or candles
Herbal tea for after

↳ Your guests

Bring a cushion if you have one, and wear something you can sit on the floor in.

↳ Food and drink

Suggested for a free night. Drinks: no alcohol. Food: no food.

A seat never pays for food or alcohol. If you charge for seats, the listing shows only what fits.

↳ Pure Listen

We listen to the full album together — silence on side A, conversation between sides, reflection after. Jazz kissa style. Phones face-down.
