A schedule of group practices will provide attendees with an
opportunity to learn more about these practices and experience
them with others in community. No prior experience is
needed, so please come if you are interested or curious! For the
remaining times throughout the conference, this technologyfree
space will be preserved for those seeking tranquility and
solitude and will be available each day for quiet individual
contemplation.
