          THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR CONFERENCE TYPE CONFERENCE! 

At many traditional conferences, audiences sit passively while presenters lecture from a podium. Often there is little or no time to participate in extended, informal, stimulating conversations with knowledgeable colleagues. If you are looking for a structured, didactic conference, this is NOT it! This conference is designed to tap into our collective expertise and our diverse backgrounds. Our participants co-create the conference itself and the contents are then placed into pre-scheduled time-slots. We support our evolving connections and friendships as we encourage and welcome new participants into our community.... 

PRESENTATIONS 
The conference itself most likely will be a large group or several small groups of participants talking about whatever topics seem important at that time, but if someone wants to present their ideas in a more structured way, they can announce their intentions to the group during the Friday meeting and see what interest
emerges. 

SPECIAL NOTES 
Please be aware that the center charges us per person per room for the weekend. There is NO one day room rate. If you reserve a private room and then decide to add a person to your room, you will be charged for two people. Meals are charged per person per each meal. If you would like someone to join you at a meal, you
must notify us before the conference. If you would like to bring your family to the center while you attend the conference, please check with us for a family rate. Sorry, no drop-ins.
