Until Next Time

Of utmost importance is extending gratitude to those who made the meet up possible. Thanks to Backpacker's Hotel and all the other locations who graciously lent us their spaces, to all the people living in Rio Dulce who lent us supplies and support, to all the boat owners who put their homes up to a bunch of vagabonds, and most importantly thanks to all the people who attended and sculpted the meet up to make it a more than a dream. The individuals who attended created a character that was truly amazing and will leave an impact on everyone privy to it. It was a pleasure having all of you around.

As opposed to thinking of the conference as a one time event, I consider it simply an official beginning of something greater. We have started to get to know each other, and with these relationships we can take that energy and set sail to new horizons. If we keep in touch, hopefully we can see how all the dreams and aspirations we discussed and plotted will play out. Often times all the momentum after a conference is lost as we return to our routines, comforts, and obligations. Let's keep in touch, keep each other motivated towards our dreams, and see each other again.

Success!

Day one has been a delightful success! More updates to come. For now, we just wanted to share with you the complete handout, downloadable in either webviewing format or zine format for printing. Images of this can be found on the Workshops/Events tab.
Thank you all for attending and for your support! We'll have more to post once things are over.

The time is upon us...

Ahoy!
Shadowed by the dawn of the Age of Aquarius, we find ourselves an anxious week away from the start of our beloved meet up. A secret cabal has been hard at work weaving a web of events, workshops, and activities for your enjoyment. We submit this humble offering to you here:

We think you may delight in a pdf of the full schedule with descriptions of the events and much more information. We provide this for you here: Current Schedule and Event Descriptions. Under the Workshops/Events tabs you'll find images of the whole pdf.

The spark of the whole summit will be at 1100 hours on the 22nd of February, located at the park under the south end of the bridge. It's the one with the bleachers, and before the conference we'll have a handout containing a map to assist you in finding it along with all the locations hosting the meet up. This will be posted online within the next few days, and if you get in town you can find us (the old adage, "look for the punx," applies) or hail S/V Drummer or S/V Dorothy Ann on VHF68. We are very busy, but available.


Thank you kindly for your interest and potential support, we look forward to meeting you aboard. More informal updates will be posted on the google group, located here.

Relentlessly plodding towards the Future,
-Wolf Larsen
