How to prepare to host a session

Write out a script. It’s very useful to write a short script to make sure you are bringing your best in the time that you are given during every session.

Use Chrome browser. Chrome works best for hosting. Safari and Firefox can't share tab audio, so if you use them, play Flow Club Radio instead of your own playlist.

Select the music. Select the music ahead of time and know how you want to introduce it to the group. Let people know they can mute the music if it's not for them.

Familiarize yourself with the ritual. The consistent thing about Flow Clubs is that we always check-in in the beginning to set our intention, and we always check out at the end or before we leave to reflect on our progress and celebrate showing up. Read the Hosting Guidelines and the Community Guidelines to familiarize yourself.

Play around in the demo session. You can test setting up your music and familiarize yourself with the hosting side of the platform

Take a look at the attendees info. Make note if there are any new members you can help welcome and orient to Flow Club. First time at anything is scary! Help orient anyone new. Take note of milestones to celebrate. We try to shout people out to celebrate, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, etc sessions because it is impressive to have made that kind of commitment!

Keep it light! Work can be stressful enough, so we want to create an environment that is positive, celebratory and takes it easy.

Start and end on time. Start and end sessions on-time, even if themed programming is involved. This helps people know Flow Club as discrete, contained, predictable experiences that they can buy into repeatedly.
