Answers to the question: Is there anything else you want to share about the conference?

"I loved the spaciousness in the set-up, and the way the program was woven.

I like the way the recruitment was done in a very personal way. I love the way fun and play and entertainment was part of the set-up and the opportunity to connect with old friends and make new ones. Oh, and the organisation was immaculate too."

"After the conference was over we left for home by bicycle. The first night we wanted to find a campsite nearby - as you might remember it was quite hot and we left after lunch. We found one on the map that looked nice, in Belgium at the border of a small lake. When we arrived at seven in the evening it was
a place that under any ordinary condition I would have fled from. Crowded, full of caravans with barbecue, ladies in pink lycra leggings, youngsters hanging around in their cars with a loud radio on - the lake was dirty bordered by concrete sidewalks all around where people from the nearby town all came to swim and there was only one small field where you could put a tent. This was next to a highway that we had somehow overlooked on the map. The only shady place was onder a few birch trees, a place others had used as a wate dump. I still can't figure out how we managed to stay there under these conditions. Usually I am really critical about camping places. But now I didn't really mind. I enjoyed the extreme difference with the surrounding in Vaeshartelt and found that it was a beautiful illustration how both worlds make our world. I cleaned up our camping place and slept like an ox, dreaming of waterfalls (the humming of the traffic)."

"I found it an honour to be in the midst of so many different people. And celebrate those differences in the way we have done."

"Participating in the conference gave me a lot of inspiration and helped me to take some steps forward in my life journey."

"What struck me was the unusually high degree of 'commitment' of all the participants.

It is also remarkable that we have not had any negative feedback yet."

"I miss feeling the way I did there, it is lonely here and I would go again if I could."

"I loved teaching my own workshop, since the people were so eager and ready, which was very inspiring to me."

"I thought it was really a shame that we had to throw away so much of the food we had prepared alltogether. That hurt."
