When you unplug, magic happens.... No mobile phones, no watches, no internet. Leave your real name at home. No discussing work, and age is irrelevant. You won't need alcohol or cigarettes. What you'll gain is real human interaction. When you can't talk about anything shallow, conversation becomes deep quickly, and friendships form based on more than superficial commonalities. Also, it's super fun! Highlights for me were arts and crafts "playshops", the tea yurt, and Condor's fire session. Unlike camp when I was a kid, the food was excellent. It's truly impressive what they managed to make for such a large group. The morning coffee couldn't be better, and grilled cheese sandwiches turned out to be the perfect thing for a cold summer night. But, seriously, why aren't more of you people reviewing it? We're allowed on the web now that we're home. read more

Summer camp for adults without mobile phones, digital devices, watches, clocks. No work talk. No age talk. No real names. No alcohol. Annual June retreat. Arrival entails Tech-Check...you turn in your stuff until departure. It was a humorous cross between airport TSA and Star Trek. A hula-hoop is raised from your feet to your head to scan for any concealed contraband tech devices. ...Had to laugh. My favorite event was the Summer Solstice Dinner silent meal. ...One table setting as long as it takes to seat 130 people...on each side! At dusk, candle-lit, on the field, surrounded by redwoods, preceded by a bonfire ceremony, everyone dressed in white. Campers/guests are received by an escort and walked to the bonfire. After a moment with the universe, another escort guides you to your seat. Yes, the entire camp had been silent for the past two hours...and still is. 260 people - n o t o n e w o r d. Food is served and with a motion you are invited to begin. This was the most magical event I have ever been to. Ever. And my "ever" is relatively long. My second favorite event was the theme dance. In 2013 it was The 80's. In 2014 it was the 70's and disco. Those few who didn't buy-in to the costume/dress-up wish they did. DJ and live eight-piece soul/funk band for two hours. ...Well, it felt like two hours...don't really know. Friday night in the tea yurt the five-piece street band performed. They played at numerous times and places throughout the weekend. Other events were Talent Show and Pajama Brunch. Beyond that there were many choices of individual programs such as crafts, yoga, archery, et. al. Swamai Ananda was there. I asked him to teach me something and we sat on a log and talked for 20 minutes. The food was the best I've ever had in such a large group. Fresh, hot, plentiful, healthy. Staff was 1-to-5 campers. They were all high on the spirit of making everyone happy. Anyone who was bored here has only themselves to blame. GNT, aka Woodstock, Session 2, 2014 read more

Levi Felix was a genius and it was an honor to know him. His wife, however, isnt the brightest bulb in the box. Its a shame she couldnt hold it together and continue his legacy. Not to mention, her customer service skills are horrible. Thanks for stealing $600 from me, and giving me a hard time when I broke both my legs and couldnt attend camp. You then jacked up the price of camp for everyone to pay for your dead husband's medical bills (who didnt even want to marry you, until he was dying.) You have proven you have no idea how to run a business, and it's a shame, because your husband was so much better than you. read more
