Mindful Music + Poetry with JJM

Join JJM for an evening of mindful music and poetry, chill vibes, tucked within our city's beautiful green spaces.

About the artist:

JJM is a dedicated Buddhist who embraces sobriety. His lyrics deeply explore mental health and frequently draw upon spiritual texts and principles, particularly *The Power of Now* by Eckhart Tolle, which he credits as a pivotal influence in his journey to Buddhism. JJM takes an independent approach to his music, writing, producing, mixing, and mastering his tracks, inspired by his favorite artist, Russ. His musical influences also include ARTAN, Smino, Bob Marley & The Wailers, and Dave. While he maintains a strong focus on raw lyricism, he often experiments with genres such as trap, soul, boom bap, and grime, resulting in a diverse discography that offers a rewarding experience for any rap enthusiast. Additionally, he is pursuing a career as a music lawyer and has gained valuable experience through internships at High Focus Records and DUB 5 London.

About Common Ground & Mind, Body + Earth

Common Ground is a summer-long series of creative and wellbeing gatherings in Brighton’s green spaces - from tucked-away corners to wide open parks. Each session is led by someone from the community offering their unique gift, whether it’s movement, storytelling, music, art, or simply holding space.

Rooted in the belief that everyone has something to offer, Common Ground invites connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the land around us.

Sessions are free, donation-based, or raising funds for causes close to the facilitator’s heart - all intentionally designed to be accessible, low-pressure, and heart-led. It’s less about being a “participant” and more about being part of something shared.

The series is run by Mind, Body & Earth (MBE) - a community-led project founded by Meg, an artist and facilitator passionate about the healing power of creativity, nature, and shared presence.

MBE exists to create spaces where people feel a sense of belonging - where care, creativity, and connection are valued over performance or perfection.

Whether you're here to draw, walk, play, reflect, or simply be - you are part of the community we’re building. And your presence is a gift.
