About this event
Make something calm, strange, beautiful, and unmistakably yours in a room full of people doing the same. Meditation GenJam: Make a Meditation Video with AI! is an in-person creative session where meditation, generative tools, and community come together in a hands-on format built for experimentation rather than perfection. If you have been curious about using AI for something more reflective than productivity hacks or novelty demos, this event gives you a concrete place to start. You will spend the evening exploring how to shape a short meditation video with AI-assisted visuals, voice, structure, or atmosphere, while learning alongside others who care about wellness, autonomy, and creative practice. What Is This? This event is a GenJam: a collaborative, make-first gathering centered on creating something tangible in a limited window of time. In this case, the goal is simple and specific: use AI tools to create a meditation video concept or draft that expresses a mood, an intention, or a personal practice. The format is designed to be accessible whether you are deeply technical, lightly curious, or somewhere in between. You do not need to arrive with a finished idea. You can come with a meditation theme you care about, a visual style you want to explore, or just an interest in seeing how AI can support a more grounded and human creative process. This is not positioned as a passive talk or a polished showcase. It is a participatory session where the point is to make, test, reflect, and share. The combination of AI and meditation opens up a useful tension: fast tools applied to slow attention. That contrast is part of what makes the event compelling. What to Expect The evening will likely move through a clear creative arc so you can go from idea to draft without getting stuck in abstraction. Expect a mix of orientation, independent making time, and informal community exchange. You can expect elements like: A brief welcome and framing of the session Time to think about the kind of meditation experience you want to create Space to experiment with AI-generated visuals, scripts, audio concepts, or overall structure Opportunities to compare approaches and learn from what others are making A casual share-out, feedback moment, or reflection at the end Some attendees may focus on guided meditation language. Others may work from an atmosphere first, using imagery, pacing, or tone to shape the experience. Others may explore the question of autonomy more directly: what does it mean to use AI without losing your own voice, intention, or values? Because this is in person, there is also a real advantage that online creative sessions rarely match: you can look over, ask what someone is trying, troubleshoot in real time, and be energized by the fact that everyone in the room is building toward a similar outcome from very different starting points. Why Attend This event is valuable if you want to move from vague curiosity to direct experience. Instead of hearing broad claims about AI and creativity, you will test tools in a focused context and see what they are actually good at when the goal is presence, clarity, and emotional tone rather than speed alone. You will also leave with more than inspiration. Depending on your approach, you may walk away with: A draft or prototype of a meditation video A clearer creative workflow for combining AI with reflective practices New ideas about visual storytelling, guided meditation design, or generative media A better sense of where AI supports your process and where you want to stay fully manual Connections with other people interested in wellness, community, and intentional technology use There is a deeper reason this format works. Meditation asks you to notice attention. AI asks you to direct systems. Putting those together can reveal a lot about authorship, agency, and personal taste. Whether you are making something for yourself, your community, or a broader audience, this event gives you a practical way to explore those questions through creation instead of theory. Practical Details This is an in-person event taking place on Saturday, October 18 at 6:00 PM PDT. The in-person format matters: it creates room for focused making, spontaneous conversation, and the kind of low-pressure collaboration that helps creative work start moving. If you are thinking about attending, it helps to arrive ready to experiment. You do not need to have a polished concept, but it is useful to come with one of the following: A meditation theme you care about A mood or feeling you want your video to create A question about AI and creative autonomy you want to explore A willingness to make something rough and improve it through feedback This is open registration, which makes it a good fit for both people already working at the intersection of AI and wellness and people stepping into that space for the first time. The event is best approached with curiosity, flexibility, and an interest in making something real before the night is over.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want a creative, grounded way to explore AI through making rather than just talking about it. - You are curious about **AI tools for creative practice** and want a focused project that goes beyond generic prompting or demo culture. - You have an interest in **meditation, mindfulness, or wellness** and like the idea of turning those interests into a short video experience. - You care about **autonomy** and want to explore how to use AI without handing over all of the creative decisions. - You enjoy **community-based making** and learn best when you can experiment alongside other thoughtful, curious people in the same room. - You are an artist, builder, facilitator, meditator, or beginner who does not need a perfect skill set to participate, just a willingness to try things. - You want to leave with something more concrete than ideas, whether that is a draft, a concept, a workflow, or a new sense of what kind of creator you want to be with these tools.
