Wellness and Healing Justice Jam Alumni Application

Welcome to the Jam again! We're so excited you want to return!

Due to the small and personal nature of the event, this questionnaire is longer and more in-depth than most, because we want to get to know you better. Please share as much as you feel comfortable sharing. There is no min/max length for responses and no pressure. We only ask you to share what you feel is 'enough'. We will follow up with more questions or a phone call if we need more information.

Also, please note that all of your answers, including your name and basic info, will be kept in full confidentiality.* Only the leadership team will have access to your application. The more the team learns about you, the more informed their decision about selection can be.

Participant selection will be based on multiple factors, including prioritizing the inclusion and representation of a diverse participant body. Space is limited. If you do not get selected immediately, you may be placed on a wait list if space becomes available.

* Please note that if you are accepted, your name and bio will be shared with the other participants of your Jam just prior to the event. Following the Jam, we will put this information up on our website so that you can participate in the alumni community, unless you request otherwise.

As you may remember, the people in the room are the focus of the Jam. Sharing our stories, experiences, dreams, and challenges is how we engage and learn together. The following series of questions are meant to be a taste of this principle. Don't worry about spelling or grammar or eloquent articulation. We just want to get a sense of who you, with the understanding that we are all ever-evolving, so no answer is a fixed answer.

How do you identify? (gender, race+ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, class, anything else that makes you who you are.) We ask because we value diversity and the opportunity to create supportive and inclusive space, and we want to know how to best meet participant needs:

What access needs would be important for us to accommodate for your participation?:

What's alive for you these days? What are you working/playing on? How are you feeling? (Please check in):

What does "wellness and healing justice" mean to you these days? What does it look like, feel like, conjure up for you? What are your burning questions and growing edges around wellness and healing justice these days?:

Please share the reasons you want to come to the Jam again. What are you hoping to give this time around? What are you hoping to receive? How have you been integrating learnings, insights, experiences, healings, etc., from your last Jam? How have you been collaborating with folks since your Jam?

Please share any concerns, fears, or reservations you have about attending the Jam. This can include what kinds of support you feel you could use from us right now, and also if/when you join us on Zoom:

Anything else you'd like to tell us?:

Please give us a mini-bio (a paragraph version of your story) written in the third person (for example, using “they,” “she”, or “ze” instead of “I”). Talk yourself up! Include contributions you’ve made, any awards or accomplishments, organizations you’ve been involved with, etc. This is the bio that will be shared with other participants of this Jam. (You can always modify it later.):

Costs of Attending

The Jam is offered at a sliding scale from $50-$300. Any additional payment that people are able to make would go directly to financial support for others to attend this jam. We never want money to be a barrier in participating in a Jam, so we will do everything we can to make it work for you to attend.
 Partial scholarships are available. Additional donations above the event price are welcome and help us provide scholarships to support the broad spectrum of participation on which this event thrives (they are also tax-deductible). We can also work with you to create a monthly payment plan (say $20/month for 5 months, for example).
How much are you or your organization/school/institution able to contribute to this experience?

Thanks for applying to the Wellness and Healing Justice Jam!
We’ll be in touch as soon as we can.
