For the first time in three years, there's going to be an HSP Gathering on the East Coast! Last time there was a Gathering in the east was in Pennsylvania, in 2005. This year's East Coast HSP Gathering will take place from October 2-6 at the Menla Mountain Retreat Center in Phoenicia, NY. The venue is near Woodstock, about 2 hours north of New York City, and sits on several hundred private acres in the heart of Catskill Park. It is about 200 miles from Philadelphia, and about 350 miles from Washington, DC.
Presenters at the New York Gathering include Jacquelyn Strickland, Sarah O'Doherty and Jessica Thayer. Elaine Aron will present recent work on "HSPs and Self-Esteem" to the group on Sunday afternoon via teleconference. Non-workshop activities will include Creativity Night, Music and Dance Night and Art Night, as well as plenty of time to simply socialize and get to know fellow HSPs.
Registration for the event is now OPEN. To register, please visit organizer Jacquelyn Strickland's web site. It is highly recommended that you register as soon as possible, to take advantage of "early bird registration discounts."
HSP Gatherings are highly validating and often transformative events for HSPs. Even those who feel some hesitance about being part of group activities tend to discover that a group of Highly Sensitive People is quite different from other groups.
If you'd like more information, you can also visit the East Coast HSP Gathering page on the group's web site.
