Dear Friend,

 

The Kushi Institute is excited to announce our Summer Conference 2009 on July 9-12, 2009 at the IBM Executive Conference Center in Palisades, NY just 20 miles from Manhattan.

Our theme this year is Healing Ourselves, Healing the Planet. This signifies the reality that we must heal ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually before we are able to heal our environment. We hope you join us for this inspiring event.

 

We realize that we are in challenging economic times, so this year we are reducing your cost by shortening the length of the conference.  Additionally, we're delivering more value for your hard earned dollars by substantially upgrading the facilities at affordable rates.  We hope this winning combination makes Summer Conference 2009 an attractive get-away for you to relax, rejuvenate and learn.

The IBM Center in Palisades, NY is just 20 miles from Manhattan. IBM Palisades, managed by Dolce Resorts, presents the highest-quality facilities situated on 105 acres of rolling wooded hills, ponds, walking trails and nearby parks.  The serene natural surroundings coupled with the most up-to-date technology provides the perfect learning environment.

 

In between classes, guests can spend time in the fitness center featuring four racquetball courts, a whirlpool, two saunas and a five-lane, wave-less lap pool. Wireless internet as well as computers providing internet access, is complimentary throughout the facility. In addition, Dolce-IBM Palisades offers resort hotel style accommodations all under the same roof!  

 

Bus Service is available from the Port of Authority Bus Terminal on the Red & Tan/Coach USA Bus Lines.  Use bus Route 9A and the Conference Center will provide a free shuttle to the facility from the bus stop.

Driving Directions and Major Airport information

We are arranging for group rates for a car service for those who are interested.  More information to follow.

We are finalizing our roster of presenters and speakers for 2009 from an amazing array of internationally renowned talent.  You can count on the Kushi Institute to provide you with variety and depth of knowledge that makes the Summer Conference the  special "must attend" event.

 

 

We are introducing a new scheduling system that will allow participants to follow a track based on what you would like to learn at the conference. We will offer Track 1 as Beginner courses, Track 2 as Intermediate courses, and Track 3 as Advanced courses. However, participants are welcome to attend any class, on any Track, at any time.

Our Thursday evening arrival through Sunday afternoon departure program allows participants to take advantage of two and a half  days of informative and exciting lectures. The price for the entire program full-time is $525 (all meals included) with an early bird special of $475 ending January 15, 2009. The part-time daily rate is $225  (all meals included) with an early bird special of $195 per day. Hotel style accommodations are available for a rate of $99 per night per room located in the same building as all classes, meals, and activities.

 

Children's Program
For 2009, children 12 and older are welcome to enjoy the conference as an adult.  Since we are in a new venue this year and having a shorter duration conference, we will not have a dedicated Children's Program for 2009.  Rates for children 12 and older are the same as the above adult rates.
