East Coast Coming Home to a New Earth
An L/L Research Event
August 8–11, 2024
L/L Research is happy to announce the 2024 Coming Home to a New Earth Gathering! Celebrating its fifth iteration and L/L’s very first gathering on the West Coast, this event has become a container for transformation, awakening, and community of the open heart.
Our focus for this year's gathering continues to be on actively cooperating with and supporting the increasing 4D-positive energies in a more dedicated fashion, both individually and collectively. How can we embody unconditional love? How can we serve the healing of our planet and its peoples? How can we discover and share our particular gifts? What would it mean to deepen our commitment to fulfilling our individually unique paths? etc.
Before registering for this event, please read the Cost and Lodging sections below.
Begins: Thursday, August 8, at 4:00 PM ET
Ends: Sunday, August 11, with an evening dinner
Where
Wallingford, Pennsylvania, at the Quaker-run retreat center, Pendle Hill.
Format
This retreat will employ Open Space Technology (OST), which is an approach to event organization where participants co-create the content, the value, the culture, and the leadership that maximizes potential for positive experience. In an Open Space gathering, the agenda is not predetermined (though we will have several pre-planned experiences on the schedule). On the first evening of the event, we will introduce OST and how it works, facilitating the group in co-creating the agenda that will make up the bulk of the sessions or content for the weekend.
And, if you should feel so moved (we hope you are!), please come prepared with something you would like to share with the group, whether a presentation, an activity, a discussion topic, or anything that may engage others in questions, explorations, and sharings in the spirit of the open heart.
Schedule
Several whole-group events will be built into the schedule:
- Thursday: Opening ceremonies, round robin, and authentic-relating games
- Friday and Saturday: TBD
Sunday: Closing Ceremony around 7:00pm’ish The schedule for Friday–Sunday will otherwise be determined by the group itself each day’s morning. The basic structure will look much like the 2023 Coming Home curriculum, with changes to start and meal times.
Cost
The cost varies depending on which room you choose (see “Lodging” below). The charge for lodging, meals, and event space is what the venue charges L/L. Altogether it will include:
- lodging for 4 days/4 nights
- eleven nutrition-packed super delicious meals: Dinner Thursday; Breakfast, lunch, and dinner Friday–Sunday; and Breakfast Monday morning.
- event space and tuition
If you would love to attend but would be prohibited by financial limitation, we have scholarships available. Please contact us to ask.
And if you are interested in contributing toward scholarships (very helpful that), we have a scholarship fund for helping others.
If you should need to cancel, no worries, we can issue a full refund up to Monday, July 8th. After that it will be a 50% refund, and the remainder will be allocated to the scholarship fund.
Meals
The venue will cater all meals. They can fully accommodate pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free dietary needs. You will need to indicate your dietary needs when using the store to register.
Lodging Onsite
Pendle Hill will be able to accommodate everyone onsite through a variety of rooms. The cost for onsite lodging will depend on whether you are reserving a room for single- or double-occupancy.
If you reserve a double-occupancy room, you will be paired with another attendee of the same gender. If there is a specific person you would like to share your multiple-occupancy room with, both you and the other-self you wish to room with will need to email us with that information upon registering.
For those lodging at Pendle Hill, check-in time is between 2:00pm and 4:00pm.
*To see descriptions of the rooms available at Pendle Hill, visit the Pendle Hill overnight accommodations page. [NOTE: We cannot accommodate specific room number requests. Also, please direct all lodging-related requests not to Pendle Hill but to us.]
Lodging Offsite
We would love to have you stay with us on campus, but if you would prefer to stay offsite, we have a few offsite registrations available. (If you don’t see offsite options on this page, they have already been claimed.) Those staying offsite will also be responsible for their transportation to and from Pendle Hill—we will not be able to offer pick-up and drop-off during the event.
The price of your offsite registration covers your meals, supplies, and use of the facilities.
Lodging on-site or not, we ask that attendees arrive in time to be present in the circle for a 5:00pm start. If you will be later, that’s okay, just let us know please.
