about
objectives/purposes
Through the planning and facilitation of conferences, workshops, and events Spring seeks to build an accepting and open community in which attendees can make genuine and lasting personal connections, tap into their talents and innate creativity, and take on projects both collaborative and personal. Spring offers opportunities for attendees to challenge themselves in ways they otherwise wouldn’t through a community-focused, alcohol- and recreational drug-free environment.
If you can keep your heart open, share and be honest, and treat yourself and others with respect, we welcome you. Come help us create a weekend-long community that lasts all year.
Spring is run by Spring Forum for Alternative Community, Inc., a non-profit.
rules
- Respect yourself and others.
- Spring is a drug and alcohol free space. We do not permit the possession or consumption of alcohol or other recreational drugs, including marijuana. We enjoy the space while sober, and we think you will too.
- Part of the Spring experience is unplugging from the distractions of daily life. To that end, we ask that you don't use electronic devices such as phones, laptops, or tablets in the common areas. If you need to use an electronic device, please do so in your bedroom.
- Smoking and vaping are not permitted on Glen Brook property or near any Glen Brook buildings. Smoking is only allowed on the public road down the hill to the right out of the driveway, past the parking lot, grey house, and basketball court. This area will be pointed out on arrival.
- If your behavior endangers the community, you may be asked to leave, and your registration fees will be forfeited. This includes the possession and use of weapons.
Spring is recommended for ages 25 and up.
There are no childcare facilities at Spring, and we do not provide programming for children. However, if you are a returning member of the community and you have an infant in your care, we may be able to work together to make accommodations. Please contact staffofspring@gmail.com in advance to work out the details.
