Level Green sent an intern to this gathering three years ago and it was fabulous! Had I the funds I'd go this year for sure, since it'll be the last one so close to Ithaca.

And YES INDEED, the program is split between workshops, speakers etc and hands-on experience actually building wonderful structures. Peaceweavers is also an extraordinary place in itself.

I'm hoping to go over on the last day to see what's been created this year - I'd welcome company if anyone else wants to go (July 31).

Has anyone on this listserv participated in this colloquium, or does
anyone know someone who has?  It sounds like an amazing and fun
experience, but do participants walk away with any hands-on experience?

I ask, because I've been thinking about volunteering for Habitats for
Humanity, or the local equivalent (the name of which I've forgotten) as
a means of not just helping but learning skills at the same time.  Comments?
