Location - Camp Farnsworth!

Our second annual conference was held at Camp Farnsworth in Thetford, VT. About 20 people attended, cycling in and out with other obligations. While there were a few logistical hiccups, we'll learn from them in the future! Camp Farnsworth wasa little further from most of us in the Boston Metro area, but the site was absolutely beautiful and the facilities were great! We rented their huge dining hall as well as the Tovariche Cabins, if you're familiar with the site.

The site was phenomenal but it's popularity with other groups trying to rent it, in addition to it's price and distance from Boston make it challenging for a conference of our size currently. Hopefully we'll return in a couple of years!

These photos kind of give you an idea of what the site looked like.

Theme - Stone Soup πŸ₯£

This conference is what we make of it! We are a group of left leaning people in a collective search for meaning. In effect there are no leaders, gurus, or experts. This conference will be what we make of it. Start practicing a song to play a coffee house! Dive deeper into one of your passions to share it as a workshop with the rest of us! Is there a spiritual blocker or question that you've been thinking about? A breakthrough that you'd like to share with others?

At this conference we hope to remember our radical belief in people. Inspiring each other is the only way we're going to make it through these dispiriting times.

When? Aug 22-26, 2025 πŸ“…

It always feels like a big ask for people to take off work, but they did. Total attendance fluctuating as people cycled in and out for work, weddings, and other obligations.

In the future we hope to expand to a week long conference! Every year we make it about one day longer.

How Much? - $160* πŸ’³

Our goal is to make this conference accessible and affordable, especially since we hope that friends from around the country will fly in to attend. Costs are roughly 20 dollars for lodging and 20 dollars a day for food. We always hope to break even, at the very least!

*We're asking $160 per person and half off for children, (14 years old and younger).

If price might be a barrier to you attending always reach out to us.
