Make your local jam easy to join
Make the invitation clear
A jam is a space for shared practice. It is not automatically a taught class. Say whether beginners are welcome, whether someone will greet new arrivals, and whether instruction or spotting support will be available. Do not promise supervision unless someone is actually responsible for providing it.
List the practical details
Search Events first, then create an event using the Jam type. Give the meeting point, date, start and finish time, expected cost or donation, and any venue rules. For a recurring gathering, keep the dates accurate and explain how people can check weather-related or last-minute changes.
Describe the surface, available mats, indoor or outdoor setting, and what participants need to bring. Make accessibility details concrete rather than saying only that everyone is welcome.
Set expectations together
- Ask before joining a practice group, touching or offering corrections.
- Agree on the movement, roles and a clear way to stop before beginning.
- Respect a no without asking for an explanation.
- Ask permission before taking or posting photos of others.
- Leave space for other people and help care for the venue.
Keep the local connection alive
Link the jam to the relevant community when you can. Keep the event's information current and make a contact person identifiable. If a jam is cancelled, update the listing rather than assuming everyone will see a message elsewhere.
