Pre-Conference Coffees
Join a seasoned Group Life practitioner and up to seven others for an intimate learning experience.
We'll provide both regular and “unleaded” coffee in Basic Black, along with sweeteners, cream, and tea for people who really don’t like coffee. If you prefer “designer” coffee, stop by Dr. B’s café to purchase a latte, cappuccino or frozen drink.
Coffees are on Thursday, October 16, from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m., prior to the 12:30 p.m. start of the Group Life Conference. Registration is required due to limited seating, and reserving your spot for a Coffee is just like registering for a breakout. Be sure to sign up when you register for the conference to guarantee your place.
If you are interested in hosting a Coffee yourself, email us for details.
