Conference - Day 1
My head is spinning and I decided early on that it would be my goal to get as much out of this experience as I possibly can, because I think my next step will "emerge" from what I learn this weekend. Therefore, I am trying to avoid blogging so I can focus. I will be brief here, only covering the highlights.
For more information about the speakers I mention, go to Revolutionconference.com. I don't have the easy ability to post links from my Treo, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
For the morning workshop, Pam and I and about 42 million other people heard (more like "experienced" ) the phenomenon that is Spencer Burke. All I can say after hearing his ideas about "opting out" vs. "opting in" is that I felt like I had just rode the Viper at Magic Mountain - a little bit exhilarated and a little bit sick - but sick in quite an exhilarating way. How's that for a descriptive?
In the afternoon, George Barna shared about why he "joined the revolution". It was encouraging to hear his testimony about this subject.
In the afternoon workshop we heard Christine Wicker, who is self-proclaimed "almost atheist". Truly fascinating.
After the afternoon workshops, Sunil Sardar spoke about his passion for ending the caste system in India. I had the great opportunity not only to meet Sunil and his wife Pam at dinner Thursday evening, but had quite the conversation with them, and this girl (me) learned a lot about a country that I am mostly ignorant of. I will post more about that conversation later.
We just heard Christine Wicker and Helen Mildenhall, and now Brian is speaking again.
If you're dying to know more juicy detail right now, there are a number of talented bloggers posting their thoughts at the Revolution Conference blog (revolutionconference.com/blog).
Also Bob Hyatt (bobhyatt.typepad.com) and Justin Baeder (radicalcongruency.com) are blogging from here, as are a number of other bloggers.
Catchya later.
Lily.
