Location - Camp Seawood! ⛺

WE'VE RESERVED THE SITE! This year we are going to be returning to Camp Seawood. While it isn't as nice as Farnsworth, we felt the benefits of being close to the Boston metro area and the lower price will make it more accessible to much of the community. This is a Girl Scout day camp and not an AirBnb, however that doesn't mean that staff won't be doing what we can to make you attendance comfortable and accessible. Please reach out to us about how we might accomodate any disabilities if we are able.

Camp Seawood has two main lodges with 7 adirondacks available for rent. Each lodge has a bunk room on the second floor. Please come prepared as if you are car camping to have the best experience. Communal sleeping is encouraged in the lodges as the adirondacks are a bit pricey, at an additional $60/night, and it makes the conference more afforable for everybody. Maybe there are friends staying in an adirondack you might want stay with? Maybe it's a good way to meet people? Additionally, if you have a tent, dispersed camping is available. We will have ear plugs (as the site is close to an airport), power strips for charging devices, inflatable couches, and other accomodations. The adirondacks are cute 3 walled structures, with the remaining side being screened, that have hand washing stations and latrines near by. They can each accomodate about 4 people.

There are restrooms and showers in the lodges, as well as latrines and handwashing stations near the adirondacks.

We recommend you think about bringing:

• A sleeping bag, as there will NOT be bedding.
• A camping mattress, especially if comfort is often an issue for you.
• A towel and shower kit 🚿
• A headlamp, preferably with a red light mode
• If you'd like more privacy, bring a tent/tarp for dispersed camping.
• A room divider or privacy screen, if that's your preference.
• Lawn chairs, inflatable couches, or that sort of camp/festival furniture.
• Art supplies! 🎨
• Musical instruments 🎸

If you have any questions please reach out to us! Please register in advance as it will allow us to rent additional facilities as needed. We kind of need to know by June 1st to rent additional facilities!

Here are some photos of the first year that we stayed at Camp Seawood to give an idea of what it looks like.

Theme - Stone Soup 🥣

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 14-19 📅

We will be arriving Friday evening and leaving Wednesday morning! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, ask for time off work now or prepare to use your sick time 😉. I realize this is a big ask, but I promise it'll be worth it. Life is too short to spend it working all the time!

In the future we hope to expand to a week long conference!

How Much? - $220* 💳

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're hoping to break even 😰.

*We're asking $200 per person and half off for children, (14 years old and younger).

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