Notes
  1. Beverages and conversation are available in the dining hall at all times.
  2. Men with serious medical conditions should consult with the Breath Work Workshop leader before attending.
  3. Coffee with the Leadership Council is an opportunity for men interested in helping to plan our Men's Gathering 2017 and to meet those men who planned this year's weekend. No commitment is required to attend.
  4. Cleanup involves sweeping the cabin; cleaning the toilets, sinks, and showers; emptying the trash; making sure all beds are put back the way they were when the weekend began; cleaning up any trash outside the cabin.
