Dear ADR Professional: How stressed are you right now? I m so overwhelmed I ve been doing a Google search for Calgon, just so it can take me away! If your immediate world is starting to resemble the world at large, I ve got a suggestion - and I m going to make it easy for you to say YES to getting REGROUNDED and RECENTERED. The mediation field is only as strong as its practitioners and we want you to be at the top of your game. The last thing we want to see is a new reality TV series called Mediators Gone Mad! right? So consider making it a priority to come to the ACR Spirituality Section s Rocky Mountain Retreat in Estes Park, CO July 29-31, 2011. We ve locked in the same great prices from last year and everything is all inclusive: lodging, food and great workshops and relaxing fun events and networking time! And here s where I make it easy for you: We ve added a payment plan option just print out the registration form and write THREE EASY PAYMENTS across the top, fax it in and Suzanne at HQ will take care of the rest. If you re registering for a double room (fun roommates assigned!), the fee is $395 or three payments of $135. If you d prefer a room of your own, the fee is $595 or three payments of $200. (Please note $25 is added to the first payment to cover all processing fees). (There s also an optional pre-retreat day of meditation, yoga, inner contemplation and journaling, for an additional $119.) To take advantage of this offer, you must register by June 15. Regardless of when you register, your second and third payments will be charged on June 30 and July 15. We ve got an amazing line up this year and this is YOUR opportunity to stop and breathe and prepare yourself for the amazingly important work you do in this world. Give yourself this precious gift! To register, click on this handy dandy short link and a PDF application will magically appear: http://bit.ly/fdbe5q. Print it, fill it, fax it. Peace of mind can be obtained that quick! Keep reading so you can get yourself excited about the wonderful line up of speakers we have for you to choose from this year AND we ve got yoga, talent night, visits by the ginormous fireplace, walks in the woods and so much more!
