Time surely flies... But the impressions are still fresh and strong!
I hate being so late

in giving due thanks to everybody involved in organising this fascinating event and beyond! (Sure, I had plenty of unfinished work and obligations awaiting me back home, but its programing that's making it irrationaly hard and long to leave feedback..) Muchas Gracias Everyone!! The whole experience has been like a visit to most positive corner of this 3rd density ;D populated with bunch of pleasant, relaxed and knowleadgable people. You could sense the force of colinearity at work! ..Especially during smoking breaks

Also, as mentioned, Laura and Ark have amazing ability to convey their material and research with ease in a down to earth way... a real pleasure to watch and listen to them

No doubt, video of the conference will be greatly appreciated by all.

My thanks also for the excellent conference! I remember Laura mentioning somewhere (in the wave I think) that she is not particularly fond of public speaking. From the audience point of view however she was a natural and completely at ease: the presentation was sharp, witty and difficult concepts were expressed in a very understandable manner.
Also meeting forum members on sunday was a great experience. Being a newbie and on the shy side when it comes to social situations, I was quite nervous beforehand, but it was simply amazing to see the empathic and kind way a newcomer was welcomed.
Thank you all! :)
I can relate with that, Hiker. I was also quite nervous and had to push myself to interaction, (and I'm very glad I did too) and was met with the same empathic and encouraging approach you described. I'm not sure we met in person, but it seems there was always at least one newbie present somewhere ;) ..
I tried not to have any excpectations about the whole thing, and for the most part I think I was succesfull with that. However I had prepared myself to be met with some kind of hermetic barrier (measures for the sake of protection of forum/fellowship members) and especially in the light of many defamatory actions against whole crew that would be perfectly understandable too.
However, despite being unknown to anyone, during smoking breaks I asked around about possibility of Sunday EE session and got myself invited to Para.lel HQ

on Sunday, from where the spontaneous talking and hanging around extended into group walk, lunch, and out-of-the-blue EE session! In the end there's no way I could of anticipated any of this, so good thing I didn't :). It's true what's been said, sincerity and non-anticipation will take you places!..also networking seems to play a vital role in that direction..
Anyhow, It's been amazing hanging with you guys! and thanks again for your hospitality – felt just like home!
I'll do my best in stepping up my participation here and would very much like to attend some future meetings, also!
All best,
Roman
