I think you as the central person would be great. I certainly
wouldn't want to recreate everything that you have already set up. I
could be your (wo)man on the scene in NYC, Jeremy in UK etc. And we
can do the locating scouting, reservations, event planning etc in
conjuction with you.

I don't see any of these other Sirius (would that name remain? what
about something more tied to henna?) conferences as replacements for
doing it at Brushwood but rather branches for those in other areas,
or maybe events that make use of the time between one Sirius at
Brushwood and the next. They could be the off-season events.

I like the idea of a late-winter/early-spring conference to take
advantage of downtime during the henna low season as a time to
regroup and rekindle, to learn new techniques, practice old ones,
prepare for the upcoming henna season and just hang out and henna.
