Conference Impressions (October 2004)

The conference was once again an amazing experience. Our hosts were well organized and very relaxed. They provided us with a wonderful four days. I enjoyed the presentations and movement refinements. I was very inspired and touched by Jim Hecker’s story and his message from the Folsom Prison TCC practitioners. It was delightful to see our leadership trio, Sr. Antonia Cooper, Pam Towne, and Sandy McAlister, working in such unison. My appreciation and thanks to all those who serve the TCC community and to all those who made the conference such an enjoyable experience.

As always TCC conference surpasses all of my expectations. Friendships expand as does my TCC practice. Seeing beauty in not only the Botanical Gardens of St. Louis but also in each conference participant has been awesome. Thank you, St. Louis teachers for the wonderful time of flowing from the Center.

Although it had been five years since I had attended a conference, for me, it was the best! I was encouraged by the healthy direction in which TCC is going and think Sr. Antonia is going to be very good for all concerned. The talent show was fantastic! Jim Hecker got to all of us, and Sr. Alice caused all of us girls to laugh our makeup off!

I have just returned from the conference in St Louis, having had a great time. Well done St Louis! On the last day the next two conferences were announced and it was mentioned that the conferences might be held every other year in Albuquerque “because we don’t know how long Justin will be with us.” I am very concerned, as I think if this happens it would have a very detrimental effect on the attendance of the conferences in the “off” year. I wonder what others think. I think that if Albuquerque has it every other year there shouldn’t be a conference elsewhere. Alternatively Albuquerque could have it every year until Justin can no longer attend or Albuquerque could host the conference at much wider intervals, maybe every four years.
