TO DO: Robert will coordinate with Elena who is making the arrangements with the School.
Patricia Pfost’s proposal:
- Patricia would like to see “the creation and organization of a retreat to bring all age groups together (young adults and seasoned Anthroposophists) to explore each other’s needs and contributions.”
- Robert suggested that Gareth Dicker would be someone who can advise us about doing youth outreach activities like this. Since her original emails, Patricia has found that she is very busy and can’t make a commitment herself at this time.
- We will table this item for now and keep developing this idea.
