Clare Monica Day How touching and inspiring to see these threads from SVI 2009 atendees. Another reminder of the power of that is created when such an intelligent, engaged community of people get together to lift up the world. Thank you all for coming to Hollyhock and deepening the change. SVI 2010 already scheduled for Sept 15-19, 2010. Will we see you again?

Clare Someone up at SVI said that by coming there, they had found their "tribe"....that's exactly how I felt! Thanks everyone for a great few days with long-lasting impact.

When I struggled through the early years of my business (and when I work through challenges now) there has always been a small group of supporters who've kept me going. At SVI I met 140 more!
Thanks to all of you for making the weekend an incredibly positive, breakthrough experience for me. I look forward to seeing many of you soon, and to SVI 2010.

Jeremy I'm enjoying the lasting excitement SVI has instilled in us. The ebb and flow of finding people on the ferry trips home was a wonderful, transitioning tide. See you all soon!
