We will gather together as a family for four days and three nights (March 27 thru March 30, 2015) at the beautiful Presentation Center - a peaceful 67-acre oasis tucked away among the Redwoods in Los Gatos, California. Our theme this year will be "Renewing our Spirit with the Creator Son while Expressing the Creative Spirit through the Arts".
In the presence of friends and fellows, we will remember the Master's life and teachings as we attune to God's Presence while discovering and cherishing our unique gifts of Spiritual Creativity and Divine Truth within.
