The location for the 17th Gathering has been changed. The original venue could not accommodate us. The good news is that we have found a new location with lower prices. The bad news is that the new location is a bit farther from Portland. The dates have not changed; we’re still on for September 19-21.

Join us in Newport at the Oregon Coast
for the Autumn Equinox as we work to create
Inspiration and Renewal
The word “inspiration” derives from the word for breath. A short list of speakers includes Archie Mulvena, Andrea Smith, naturopathic physician Catherine Downey, Larry Scheer, and Sam Holland. The theme of their talks will be working with the source within to renew ourselves and our lives.
Best Western Inn is located on a bluff above Agate Beach.
