Wednesday dinner through Tuesday breakfast

(PLEASE NOTE: if you intend to participate in Connections for only some days of the 6-day program, please click here to register)

The Connections program continues its tradition of combining intergenerational work projects with lively discussion, meditation, community campfires and play time. The intention of this program is to promote stewardship of the camp’s facilities, and to nurture the relationships that connect us all. These relations, and commitment to Indralaya develop through shared experience of all kinds, including our shared labor, a centerpiece of Connections.

Schedule

A typical Connections day includes project work (about 3.5 hours), daily discussion (1.5 hours), free time, and after dinner volleyball and campfire. We usually reserve one day for a camp outing.

Projects

Connections’ participants will undertake a variety of projects from construction to forest cleaning to organization to handiwork. Participants of all ages and proficiency levels are invited to find a project that fits your interests and abilities – or helps you develop new skills. The work is structured to engage people of all skills and interests.

There will also be opportunities to volunteer in leading or supervising activities for children, work in the garden and kitchen, on the trails and elsewhere.

Most campers participate in these activities and therefore qualify for the daily staff rate. If you plan to contribute, please mark ‘daily staff’ when you register.

Please also come prepared to share your musical, dance, literary, theatric and comedic talents at evening campfire.

Families

Begun in 2023, we will also be offering more structured children’s programming coordinated by Andrie Levey-Bates and Michaela Toren.

Program Discussion

Led by Barbara Hebert.

Expanding our Understanding of Compassion
Compassion is discussed throughout the theosophical literature and in many spiritual circles, yet we rarely discuss the details of it. How do we learn to be compassionate? What does it require from us? Why should we be compassionate? This interactive week-long discussion will delve into the various aspects of compassion and will include a combination of lectures, discussions, thoughts for contemplation, and meditations.
