We will be meeting in the beautiful countryside just outside of Frederick MD. The plenary speaker will be Stephen Pothoff, Associate Professor of Religion and Psychology at Wilmington College. The Title is "Dreaming Back to Right Relationship with Mother Earth: Healing the Body, Healing the Spirits, Healing the Earth". He will "share selections of dreams from three distinct historical and cultural contexts in an effort to explore how the natural world as dreamed, envisioned and lived facilitates healing of the mind, body, spirit and Earth as a whole." Stephen is a life-long Friend from Greensboro, NC. At Wilmington, he teaches a course on Dreams and World Mythology and has lead dream groups. As always, there will be excellent Interest Groups. Please contact Walter Brown with any questions. (202-882-1764 or carolewalter@aol.com)
