"Interesting topics, led by skilled leaders, combined with a lovely setting, good food and friendly participants - all in one glorious, rejuvenating weekend. Judy & Andre know just how to make it all work"

Madeleine and Bob Swain Management Consultants


"I have attended the Creativity Institute's Next Idea Weekend at the wonderful Sufi Retreat Center for three consecutive years now . . . Wow! The sessions are wonderfully rich and diverse; the people are open, spontaneous, and fun; and the location is surrounded by beauty. Every fall, I look forward to attending to connect with old friends and meet new ones - always coming away refreshed and inspired."

Charlotte Kells Management Consultant


“Creativity Weekends are a wonderful gathering of people sharing their work, their ideas and their warm camaraderie. I always have a great time and it's so beautiful being upstate NY in the fall. Thank you Andre and Judy. "

"In the midst of a hectic work schedule the retreat provided time to unwind and get re-energized."

Joanne Curran Ph.D. Professor

 

"The combination of the natural beauty of the Abode and the divine beauty of those who come to share and grow, creates the experience. In beauty we find ourselves, our bliss, and in such a location with such people, you can't help but come away a deeper more connected person. What is creativity if it isn't the exquisite invention or reinvention of self in community, in nature?"

Chuck McVinney
McVinney & Company



“I've been attending "The Next Idea Creativity Conference" at The Abode of the Message since 2003. The main reason I keep going back is because of the community. The conference is an almost ideal size: large enough to get a diverse range of ideas (and meet a diverse group of people), yet small enough to get to know almost everyone there. The venue is also wonderful; the Abode of the Message is in a beautiful part of New York State, and the accommodations are simple, rustic, and comfortable. Whenever I want to take a break from the workshop schedule, there are also a number of hiking trails to wander down. I have made some great friends over the years at the Conference, and look forward to the next one!”
