In reply to Xavier's comment about why not scheduling one here, for me right
now it
would be way too much work to organize something like that. I've just come
off of a
one-year process organizing an ecopsychology conference (which was only a
weekend!) and
have to catch up on farm work because of it. Even though I could get some
farm labor
out of the deal, I have to think whether the time, energy, planning, missing
of chores
is worth it.
