Appreciative words from a past attendee:


"I used to alternate years between attending the Great Mother Conference and going to a national men's conference --but each year the Great Mother Conferences became more important to me, and now I rarely miss one. The interactions with poets, the wonderful group singing, the serious attempts to understand Islam through it's music, enhanced by living closer to nature, with small groups fostering deeper sharing --it's a remarkable blend, adding up to a powerful experience."

--Dave Matteson
