I've read about it happening.

What is homecoming?

Homecoming is the event at which we gather every year at Carla's home in Louisville, to meet our brothers and sisters. This year, it's August 26-28.

From the latest LLResearch Newsletter:

Homecoming 2011 Stare at your planners in anticipation no more. The time has come that L/L Research throws a dart at the calendar and selects the weekend of August 26 – 28, 2011, to host the annual premier green carpet Homecoming event! Each year we gather to participate in a curriculum of spiritual study. More fundamentally, however, we gather to open ourselves to a group dynamic of shared personal and universal energy. Reviews of Homecoming are always rave, with attendees amazed by the ease of relating and the sense of immediate kinship/“home” felt among the participants who arrive from all over the country, and occasionally, world.

In the past we’ve used two basic different modalities, the symposium and the study topic. In the former, attendees were allotted a block of time to share their thoughts, feelings, essays, and experiences on any spiritually oriented subject close to their heart. In the latter, we selected a
spiritual study topic which the circle as a whole spent the weekend exploring.

This year, we will make a synthesis of the symposium and the study topic in order to really dig down into a topic through the contribution of all in the circle. Each attendee will be asked to respond to a pre‐chosen topic. This year our topic will be Discernment.

The guiding questions include: “What role does discernment play in your personal seeking and/or spiritual evolution in general? Do you have any experiences you would like to share regarding discernment in your life? Times when discernment was the crucial factor, or times when discernment was lacking? What has discernment taught you? Do you believe in your own discernment? How does discernment, what we could call a blue‐ray activity, relate to green‐ray love?”

Attendees will be asked to respond to these questions, creatively riffing on them in any way or direction they see fit, whether by reading an essay aloud, sharing a song, or producing a laser light show. If you want to be an exhibitionist and give the circle a bit of Mick Jagger, or would prefer a more quiet, considerate approached, there is no wrong answer, and your contribution will not be graded or rated, because you are who you are, and this is what we are interested in – you and your self‐expression. The circle will ask questions and provide feedback to each attendee as we dig down deeper into discernment in theory and practice.

Attendees may opt out of offering a response to the questions, but while you are not legally bound to participate, we strongly encourage doing so as we all love hearing from everyone in the circle of equals. Albeit composed of human beings, the circle is non‐judgmental and the environment totally supportive. We gather in the back portion of the small sacred grounds on which L/L Research rests. Green nature surrounds us as we relax into the easy and welcoming atmosphere of radiant love.

We may also spend Saturday evening of the weekend down on L/L’s aspiring bio‐dynamic farm, Avalon. This is to‐be‐announced.

Having attended the last three Homecomings, I can say that they are not to be missed, by those who can possibly attend. The best part is not the scheduled activities, but the connections you will make to your spiritual family.
