🌱 Things to Consider When Planning Your Event
For first-time planners (and everyone!):
- Format & Flow: What will the experience feel like for attendees? Will it be a circle, a movement class, a lecture, or a mix? Write it out step by step.
- Your Description: Clear, inviting descriptions help people understand what they’ll receive. Include intentions, activities, and who it’s for.
- Timing: Think about setup and cleanup time. Do you need extra time to create an altar, arrange mats, or set up music?
- Supplies & Materials: Will you provide materials or should participants bring their own? Some supplies we have for use at Maplewood. Please let us know what you might need.
- Accessibility: Consider whether your event is beginner-friendly or if there are prerequisites for participants.
- Promotion: Besides our platforms, how else can you share? Email lists, social media, personal invites — all help build community.
