Live music. Drum circles. Healing arts. The kind of human connection that reminds you how much good is in this world—especially when we feel it together.
"A joy shared is a joy doubled."
— old saying, newly urgent Share this with your friends! 🎉
Join us May 9 in Encinitas for a restorative, energizing experience that will bring joy to all your senses. Come together with kindred spirits to commune in music, wellness moments, and genuine connection.
JOY JAM is a deliberate act of expansion. A community gathering designed to access a wider frequency—to remind your body, your heart, your nervous system that the world is vast, people are beautiful, and joy is infinitely abundant.
Tune in.
Come for the experience. Stay for what happens when kindred spirits set the intention and collectively generate joy together.
This event is inspired by the positive spirit of Shayna Kaufman, now on the road to a full recovery from stage-4 cancer. Shayna is a beloved member of our community whose grace, strength, and capacity for joy in the face of life's greatest challenges embodies everything JOY JAM is about. Proceeds will help defray her ongoing medical costs.
An uplifting live band playing feel-good songs everyone knows—but this is no passive concert. Sing along, clap, join call-and-response. Drum circles and group singing bring the healing power of communal music-making front and center. There are no spectators at JOY JAM.
