Notes:

All meals are included in the pricing. Our conference hotel is the historic Berkeley City Club, designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan. The Berkeley City Club is located 2 blocks away from our Gathering location at First Presbyterian Church Berkeley and a room block booking link is available upon request.

We never want funds to be an obstacle to anyone's participation in a Flourish Gathering so let us know if a partial scholarship would be helpful and we'll follow up directly.  If you're able to contribute above the cost per person we gladly will accept that donation and put it to good use toward our scholarship and Trellis programs.
