Typically we’ve organized two conferences a year, one in the fall and one in late winter (or early spring). The conferences have been held in retreat centers for two or more nights (or virtually during and since the pandemic). Programing usually included a keynote talk or panel, workshops, a personal Odyssey (or two), and worship as well as ample free time to mingle and reminisce. If you can consider helping with the planning of a gathering, be sure to look over the Conference Planning Guidelines (especially the last few paragraphs).
Save the dates! Our next Conference will be held October 19-21, 2026 online.
