Things to bring and consider:

 

Everyone is strongly encouraged to attend every session of the weekend training since we are dealing with serious situations and are concerned for people's safety when applying these lessons.

If attending please bring a financial contribution to pay for the Center, food costs, transportation, etc. $15 - $150 suggested donations - no one will be turned away for lack of funds. People with organizational resources are asked to give more.

Housing is available at the Center. If you are planning on sleeping over, please let us know in advance and bring sleeping bags and warm clothes.

Also, bring writing materials.
