We are still trying to see if we can make it to Homecoming. My first question is: is it too late to register?
Also, I'm not really sure what to expect. I'll admit I'm a little nervous about meeting a big group of people I don't know I did take a look at the pics of last year and it looks like a bunch of friendly people just enjoying each others company, lots of smiling faces.
Has anyone that's been before going again this year?
Is there anyone that would like to tell us a little about their experience?
thanks in advance.

Hi J,
Definitely still time to register! Drop a note to the "contact" address (http://llresearch.org/contact.aspx) to do so or to ask any questions.
Nervousness is to be expected, especially in a group of those who generally feel a sense of alienation, not belonging, difficulty socializing, etc. But I most if not all find that it is a very relaxed atmosphere. No pressure to put on a show or dazzle the other participants, just a humble being of your normal, everyday self.
The atmosphere is very loving, very non-judgmental, and very open. It is an event unusual in most seeker's lives in that they are able to be in a group of people openly and mutually sharing their love for spirituality and the many non-conventional ways of approaching the path.
When I first attended these events I was so handicapped with social anxiety that I could barely speak. To this day I still go into Homecomings with a bundle of nerves, but it always melts when I feel in the company of family and like hearts.
I'm of course quite biased so hopefully you can get some feedback from others.
With love and light, GLB
