The call for workshop proposals for the 2015 Gathering is officially open!
Present a workshop at this year's Gathering, October November 16-18, 2015, at the beautiful Waycross Conference Center in Morgantown, Indiana!
Waycross offers a modern conference facility with famous Hoosier Hospitality. October will be the perfect time of year to enjoy radiant fall foliage throughout the 400 peaceful, wooded acres and enjoy a variety of labyrinths onsite.
In keeping with the gorgeous wooded setting, the theme of this year’s Gathering is “Branching Out.” The labyrinth is a sacred container within which we are empowered to reach out in new directions. So as you consider presentations for this year’s Gathering, allow this theme of using the labyrinth as a catalyst for a life of realized potential to inform what you create.
The proposal forms and process have been revised with the aim of making the experience of submitting a proposal easier and even more user friendly. You’ll see options to submit proposals for workshops, lectures, posters, and a new, shorter presentation category called "Mini Sessions."
Each proposal will be reviewed "blind" by the selection committee, i.e. without the names of the presenters attached to them, which ensures that selections are made based on the quality of the proposal.
Similar to previous years, a short description (or "abstract") of each accepted presentation will also be featured on the TLS members-only website after the event. This provides presenters a way of gaining recognition for their work and offers members an opportunity to review presentations. Leaders of accepted presentations also have the option of submitting a PDF synopsis of PowerPoint slides for publication on the TLS members-only website after the Gathering.
We’re thrilled with the way this new process is evolving, looking forward to receiving your proposals, and eager to see the brilliant innovations TLS members have been pioneering in the field of labyrinth work. So, please submit your presentations for review by the March 1, 2015 deadline.
