Loving More West Coast Retreat - The Good, The Great, and the Wonderful!

Today I'm preparing to go to northern California for my first ever Loving More West Coast Retreat. I've attended and presented programs at the East Coast Retreat many times, but this is my first Loving More California Conference.

The following is from Loving More Executive Director Robyn Trask. If you live in the region and can still make it to the retreat, there is some excellent news below - read on. Hope I'll see you there.


The Good, the Great, and the Wonderful…..

Concerns have been expressed regarding fires in Northern, CA and Mendocino County. We have been keeping an eye on the situation. Most fires are well to the North of Willits and the Loving More Conference location. The fires in Mendocino have been either put out, completely, contained or partially contained (the word is the county has the fires 95% contained as of Friday July 18). The temperatures have cooled and
the smoke has cleared from the pacific winds and fog so at this point Willits is not being affected by fires nor is it expected to be.

The Good - As we said the fires are mostly contained and not a threat to Willits or the conference location.

The Great – We still have room for those whose concerns had you undecided about coming to Loving More West.

The Wonderful – We are reducing the price for a limited time to the regular registration price of just $335 a savings of $40 off the usual late registration price of $375. This price includes wonderful meals, comfortable lodging and an awesome line up of presentations specifically geared to polyamorous relationships. This offer is available for registering online or at the door. If you plan to pay at the door, you must contact us directly for important conference guidelines, information and so we have a room for you.

Come and join us July 25-27 at Brooktrails Lodge for a magical retreat in the Redwoods. Relax, learn and connect with others of like mind. Don't forget to bring your ideas and creativity for Saturday night's poly-sensual festival where attendees have the chance to co-create a fun filled evening of fun and connection. (This is not a sex party but a fun space to socialize, play with body paint, sensual touch, dance and have fun.)

For complete retreat information and to register go to the Loving More Website or call Robyn at 303-543-7540.

Further discounts available when two or more register together, please call for details.

2008 Loving More Retreats

Spring is on the way, and with the return of warmer weather our thoughts turn to planning our travel and making sure we don't miss out on the outdoor events we've come to cherish. Don't forget to include the Loving More East and West Coast Retreats in your planning.

Remember to register early and save. Your doing so also helps Loving More plan and budget for the best ultimate experience for all.

Some big changes are in the works regarding the programming, particularly around more intensives where presenters work together to develop interactive programs that explore topics of interest to polyamorists more deeply. Stay tuned for more on that.

I will definitely be present at the East Coast Retreat September 5-7 north of Albany, NY at the wonderful Easton Mountain Retreat. I hope to also make it out to California for the West Coast Retreat at Brooktrails Lodge in Willits, California July 25-27.

It's a fine time to be a polyamorist! You can download the Loving More retreats flyer here. If you'd like to print it up and distribute it wherever poly people gather, please do so with our thanks.

Polyamory Conferences and Events

I've been working lately on assembling an up-to-date list of poly resources. I thought I'd post here the current list of poly conferences and conferences that include poly programs and welcome polyfolk. (Please e-mail me at imapolygirl@yahoo.com with any corrections or additions.) Note that the link for east coast polycamp seems to be down - this should be temporary. Same with Poly Big Fun in Texas. I imagine event organizers have taken their 2007 sites down since the 2007 events are already passed. Both have been taking place for quite a few years, and I know of no reason why they won't happen again in 2008.
