On May 19-21 2004 at the Friends Meeting House in London, more than 350 people took part in our first extraordinary event. You can see a 10 minute preview video on the right; and to get the fullest sense of this wonderful gathering, you may order the DVD/CD set (previewed below).

The set, containing video selections from all the presentations and a complete set of mp3 audio transcripts, is available for only £15 plus postage, and can be ordered here. (There are also some lovely video interviews with many of our presenters available here.)
