Braziers to North America 2009

We are currently starting to plan our travels for 2009 and may well go to USA/Canada in January-February. If you are in North America and interested in being part of this tour in some way - organising local events or whatever - do get in touch.

Thanks very much for all your work and all your play!
Your friend,

I don't think we can make it this January as our schedule is now pretty full but how about trying to get something together for 2010? I'm not good on US geography. Are you anywhere near Naropa?; ▶ Reply to This

If Minnesota is an option for you I can get in touch with them and see what they would be interested in hosting.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm not sure if your plans include Southwestern Ontario, but if they do I'd be happy to try and set something up in London Ontario. We don't have a retreat facility but I have used the university and find it a satisfactory setting for lectures, workshops, etc. Also, you are most welcome to stay at our home.

At present it looks as if there will be a weekend event in Hamilton February 7-8. How far is that from London?; ▶ Reply to This

Hamilton is a 1.5-2 hour easy drive down the highway. I don't know if you are familiar with Ontario? If you are London is 2 hours west of Toronto or east of Windsor down the 401 corridor. We are 1 hour west of Kitchener. I don't know if you'll have time to come to London but if you don't I would love to connect with you in Hamilton.

I just found this thread. Are you still planning a weekend event in Hamilton in February? I am in Rochester, NY. It's about a 2-1/2 drive to Hamilton, so depending upon the weather (can be fierce in February), it may be a possibility for me to make the trip.
