With Sirius Rising ... I tried to make it possible for people to have
free food and board (or as near to that as could be) if they could get
themselves here.

As long as I can fit it around a university schedule .... I'm game.
At the festivals where I go lecture, we do a bit of negotiation each
time. In return for 4 or more classes, I get room and board, and
travel expenses. Or, in lieu of travel expenses, they give me an
opportunity to vendor, or let me collect fees for classes.

Find a place ... even a girl scout or church campground, that's
willing to rent the place out off season for cheap. Do try for
something that has cooking facilities. See what the place requires in
terms of deposits and lead time and all. See if you can collect
non-refundable deposits from potential goers who will get price breaks
on accomodations when they get there. Use that to reserve the place.

Each person who wants to host a conference is going to know the lay of
the land a whole lot better than I ..... I've got the info on classes,
structure, suppliers, contacts. We can work together!

And .... there will always be henna classes as Sirius Rising at
Brushwood, but there's no reason the Henna Conference can't be a
moveable feast!
