(This post is part of a sequence of year-end efforts to invite real conversation about CFAR; you’ll find more about our workshops, as well as our fundraiser, at What's going on at CFAR? Updates and Fundraiser.)

If you’d like to know more about CFAR's current workshops (either because you’re thinking of attending / sending a friend, or because you’re just interested), this post is for you. Our focus in this post is on the new parts of our content. Kibitzing on content is welcome and appreciated regardless of whether or not you’re interested in the workshop.

The core workshop format is unchanged:

4.5 days of immersion with roughly 8 hours of class per day
Classes still aim partly to prime people to have great conversations during meals/evenings
Almost everyone stays in a shared venue
Roughly 25[1] participants, and 12-ish staff and volunteers
Mostly small classes

“Honoring Who-ness”

We added a new thread to our curriculum on working well with one's own and other peoples’ “who-ness” (alternately: pride, ego, spark, self-ness, authorship).
