"I can't imagine another place where young people so full- of vison, purpose, accomplishment, workloads, painful & magical backgrounds can walk into a room & unpack together. The intimate connections made at the Jams is not like a normal retreat or network with strangers because we really find our visions bound up with eachothers, & the caliber of participants makes for f riendships that are taken seriously & held deeply in our hearts. The support I feel from my Jamily is such that I can maintain all of these relationships in a way that feeds the rest of my work in a way that doesn't feel new. Because we've all been holding so many of the same visions for this world for years." Maya Hackett
