<div>OK, I'll be the first to post about this year's Kosmos! <br/>It was my first year,, and hopefully many more to follow! I came in as a member of the 40s and over crowd musician - non dancer. I had heard that previous years had been at a place more open and therefore potentially much hotter. Not having that history for comparison all I would say is that I was very impressed by the redwoods!! Wow! It was truly an honor to meet you people and do my work with music while meeting so many beautiful people, in such a beautiful setting! <br/>Really, it was a special time! <br/>I'll post some pics as soon as I get back home. <br/>I love you guys! <br/>Dave</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 18 replies </div>

<div>Big thanks to everyone who woke up early with me each morning to practice Yoga out on that fabulous deck! <br/>T'was truly an honor, and one of the highlights of the weekend for me---looking up to the treetops and open sky, and looking out over a huge group of 40+people doing the same! all synchronized in the breath. <br/> <br/>Who could ask for a more beautiful natural setting for yoga, no? <br/> <br/> <br/>What a great weekend all the way around... .. amazing classes, amazing teachers, amazing musicians, amazing performances, amazing food, fun times, and a great gathering of true community. thanks to the whole Furey family for makin it happen, to all the teachers and performers for offering their gifts and passion for what they do, and to everyone there for co-creating a really sweet weekend of celebration, ease, and fun. The new location ROCKS! :) <br/>i am still smiling from it all... <br/> <br/>and wow, my calves are sore. anyone else? <br/> <br/>cheers~ <br/>deb</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>This was my first year at Kosmo's, and I was truly amazed. From the informative, fun and gracious instructors, at many camps I have attended the instructors teach their class and then retreat, but here almost everyone was available for questions and just hanging out discussing things , wonderful! To the wonderful meals, kitchen crew I can't thank you enough, I was consistently impressed with the quality and varity of food, not to mention the fun helpful folks serving up! And of course the excellent support staff, I watched you handle everything from small details to what could have been large problems with a great solution minded attitude. The music and performances were unbelievable, and I am now counting the days until next year. Thank you to everyone who made this such a wonderful experience, I look forward to seeing you all again!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>This message just went out to this year's list of registered Kosmo-politans... If you haven't done it yet, do it now! We want to see you at camp in less than 10 days. <br/> <br/>=============================================================== <br/> <br/>Hey Kosmos Folks, <br/> <br/>We're now less than 10 days from this year’s Kosmos Camp and we've got some important information to share… <br/> <br/>First off, as many of you know and everyone else should take a minute to check out, the TENTATIVE class schedule is currently posted on the website at: http://www.kosmoscamp.com/Schedule08.htm We hope to stay pretty true to this plan but are willing to update as we adapt to the new campsite. <br/> <br/>ARRIVAL TIME IS ANYTIME AFTER 4PM on Thursday, June 5th. <br/>You'll register, settle in, do yoga (if you wish) at 6PM, relax, and have dinner at 7:30pm-8:30pm. Then we'll introduce staff and have some outstanding opening night performances to kick the party off right. Here's a key "To-Bring" list to keep in mind: <br/> <br/>- Cozy blanket (for snuggling during the evening shows at the outdoor theatre or on your deck) <br/>- Warm pants and jacket (evening lows have been in the high 40s) <br/>- Twin bed sheets, covers, and pillows (for <br/>tent/cabins) Also, consider bringing a sleeping bag for any chilly nights. <br/>- Camping gear and bedding/sleeping bag (for campsites/canopies) <br/>- Lawn/Camp chairs and/or tables (for relaxing on the private decks) <br/>- Earplugs, for any light sleepers (It may be louder than you like at night) <br/>- Flashlight (It also gets dark at night) <br/>- Toiletries (bug repellant &amp; sun block are strongly advised) <br/>- Bathing suit &amp; towel (Daytime highs have been in the low 80s and the new site features a great big pool!) <br/>- Comfortable shoes (as well as any dance shoes) <br/>- Musical instruments (If you got ‘em, bring ‘em!) <br/>- Toys (for spinning, hooping, balancing, etc) or crafts (if you’re the crafty sort) or a book (if you just want to unwind with a trashy novel) <br/>- Snacks/Beverages (We provide yummy food and drink, but if you have anything special you want/need, bring it along) <br/>- Perscriptions/Aspirin/Allergy Meds etc (Better safe than sorry) <br/>- Money (for the evening bar, the bakery across the street, and/or crafts/CDs by your fellow campers) <br/>- Lamps or other electrical appliance for tent cabin use; there’s one outlet per tent cabin (Sorry no heaters, they can be a fire hazard) <br/> <br/>PHONES: <br/> <br/>Cell Phones don't get reception at the resort, though they do work 15 minutes down the road. There is a phone at the camp but it's not a pay phone so you’ll need a calling card. There is no Internet access at the camp (sorry nerds, workaholics, and ebay junkies). <br/> <br/>RIDES: <br/> <br/>With gas prices rising and global warming in full swing, we encourage all to ride up together. To coordinate rides, just go to: <br/>http://kosmoscamp.tribe.net/ <br/> <br/>Post using the title "I Need a Ride from…" or "Who Wants a Ride from…?" and it’s great if you can indicate where you’re coming from. <br/> <br/>DRIVING DIRECTIONS: <br/> <br/>Our webmaster has updated the driving directions, replacing it with a better and faster route. Check this link for the new and improved directions: <br/>http://www.kosmoscamp.com/Where.htm <br/> <br/>Can’t wait to see you all soon… we're excited and looking forward to seeing you all. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at: <br/> <br/>matthew@kosmoscamp.com <br/> <br/>Sincerely, <br/>Matthew Furey <br/>Kosmos Camp Director <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Hello. My sister and I have been planning to go to Kosmos together for the longest time but a family emergency has arisen and we will probably not be able to go this year. <br/> <br/>We have two tickets we are willing to sell for $295 each or $590 for the pair. So if you haven't bought your ticket yet, please email me at lumina_26@yahoo.com. <br/> <br/>If you have never been to Kosmos, I can say in all honesty it's a very special experience and somehow Matthew has worked it out to be a great deal, too. The teachers, the music, the food, the dancing, the nightly performances, the vibe...it's all sublime.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>My friend and I have both had to cancel our plans to go to Kosmos Camp (June 5-8) and are selling our tickets. We reserved a Couples Canopy (two-person accommodation with a queen mattress) but you can always bring your own tent or sleep under the stars if you wish. <br/> <br/>This year (as in previous years) the camp boasts an impressive roster of music and dance teachers, including Mira Betz, Elizabeth Strong, Aubre, Zoe Jakes and Vicki Virk. What's not to love? For more info about the camp go to www.kosmoscamp.com <br/> <br/>We paid $295 each, a terrific deal for a last-minute camper especially since single tickets are now costing $375. <br/> <br/>If interested please contact Renee at renee.drellishak@gmail.com First come first served! </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>It was my first time at camp, and I had a blast. I've never had any experience quite like this one. I'm not by any means familiar with any of the styles of dance I did this weekend, but it was extremely refreshing to try new things. I loved loved loved it. And a weekend of dancing in which my turnout and toe point didn't really matter was desperately necessary. <br/>So, kittens, any thoughts? Qualms? Rants? Raves? Turnips?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 25 replies </div>

<div>Just found out about this camp, it sounds fantastic. <br/> If it's not booked out I am thinking of hoping on a plane (from Australia) as it nicely fits with my annual leave this year. <br/> My question is are there many people travelling from the san Fran city area who would be able to car pool?? I don't see anyother way of getting there, and hiring a car for the four days just to get there seems a waste. I am hoping to convince another Aussie to come as well so there may be two of us???</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Hi. This will be my first year at kosmos. I live in Sacramento and I am open to offering to drive. I have a toyota van and can fit 4 people. All I would ask is to share in the gas. I would love to get to know others in the Sacramento area that bellydance. I'm a novice/beginner dancer. <br/> <br/>Thanks <br/>ShaWanda</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>who was that sweet smart smiley girl...going to college soon, med long brown hair, adorable. write me, and anyone else who rememvbers jilly- had some great things to say re camp but a couple people were outrageously rude which colored my experience. Some older woman had set up in the dorm and afgter the many hours hot trek and gettinga bottom bunk by the window, iwas elated, she told me" everything will be fine here if you dont make any noise- i said what do mean if I snore, she said no IF YOU TALK! I think she must have tripped on everyone since it was the quietest most unform dorm I could imagine. who is this woman, i heard she did it last year too. Also that 'flamenco player' cute tiny man that he is insulted me when at 2 am I broke out inthe song amazing grace...since I an not a pro, he told me to shut up! I never signed a contract that only the pros get to sing and share. So matty moo and firends i felt there were some mean people there, but there was so much great stuff. Imet about 3 women I connected with but of course lost thhe info, wirite me. alsothere was someone I really liked there but he has a gf, wonder ifthey are stil together....the nose knows and will write if he is free. <br/>Ah matt an freinds thank you very much I have ideas about a bit more community building , ie fun group rythym and work game to help people our to fhier cliques! to to meet and greet in a low key way. let me know if you want more. i would be called teambuilding play or somethings.

<div>Some of my students and my self are all planning to register and I had a question about group registration... I had been told groups would be accomodated on a first come, first served basis. So how do we register as a group? Can we each register individually and say we're together or do we just make one payment for all of us? <br/> <br/>If we do that can we reserve one whole bedouin tent or dorm room for ourselves or would it be better to just each pay the camping fee and set up our own little camp area? <br/> <br/>There are probably going to be 6-8 of us. Thanks for any info! I'm just trying to get it all organized!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Just wanted to say that I personally had a blast this year at Kosmos and I hope all of you did as well. By looking over the comments on evaluation sheets and having a strong showing with the special on-site registration deal for Kosmos 2006, it seems that, by and large, attendees were very happy with the Kosmos experience. The food seemed to be an issue for some, with varying degrees of discontent. There were some who felt that not enough was offered. I felt well fed personally as a big eating man but then again, I wasn't dancing all day as many of you were. At any rate, the point is well taken that we must adjust to the necessary Kosmos diet that suits participants' appetites. Understand that our intent was to go lighter on the carbs, with complaints from the previous year that there were too many and it was heavy on the dancer's stomach. Please let me know how you feel about the experience and what can be changed. Realize that this is only the third year and as we expand there are always new challenges that arise in making Kosmos happen. I feel very confident that we are offering a high quality experience that is aimed at taking care of our participants to the best of our abilities. Take care and I wish you all the best in the coming days of your lives. Let us know how you feel... </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 8 replies </div>

<div>Kosmos Camp Director Matthew Furey here... I just wanted to thank everyone who has registered for this year's Kosmos World Music &amp; Dance Camp. It's a real pleasure for me to put this event together and we're doing our best to make the camp an exciting, memorable experience for all of you. As the camp approaches, there are some details I wanted to flag. Please take note: <br/> <br/>EVENT COORDINATORS <br/> <br/>Aunt Rika and myself will be running the event. If you have questions, comments or concerns during Kosmos Camp, we're the people to talk to. <br/> <br/>ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIME- <br/> <br/>Arrive at or after 4pm on Thursday afternoon. Check in at the registration table after parking in a designated area, which you will be directed to when you drive in. Yoga will start at 5:00pm in the Heart Lodge. Dinner will be served at 7:00-9:00pm. A warm welcome and evening performances will begin promptly at 9:00pm. <br/> <br/>On Sunday, everyone must depart by 7pm, to allow us time to break down the event and clean up. <br/> <br/> <br/>THINGS TO BRING- - Toiletries (bug repellant &amp; sunblock are advised) <br/>- Bathing suit &amp; towel <br/>- Comfortable shoes <br/>- Light jacket for the evenings <br/>- Bedding (for dorms) <br/>- Camping gear (for campsite) <br/>- Flashlight <br/>- Dance shoes <br/>- Musical instruments <br/>- Money (for the bar and/or people selling their crafts/CDs) <br/>- Ear plugs/sleeping mask (for light sleepers) <br/>- Tape or DV recorder for recording music classes <br/> <br/>CAMPING- If you're slotted for camping you must bring your own tent and sleeping bag. There are ample grounds so everyone will have a nice campsite. <br/> <br/>INDOOR ACCOMODATIONS- You must bring your own bedding and pillow, if you're staying indoors. You'll be assigned a sleeping location at the registration table when you arrive. We're doing our best to ensure that all roommate requests are filled. <br/> <br/>FOOD- The menu will accomodate both meat eaters and vegetarians, but we can not guarantee strict vegans that every meal will always have food that fits their diet. <br/> <br/>VENDING- There will be places to set up small vending tables. Please check with myself or Rika Welsh before setting up your vending site. <br/> <br/>TELEPHONES- Cell Phone service is spotty at Saratoga Springs Resort but a telephone will be available for important and emergency calls. Just ask Rika or myself. <br/> <br/>SMOKERS- There are two designated places to smoke, in a gazebo next to the Heart Lodge and by the pool. There is a serious fire hazard at Saratoga Springs so please pay close attention to this rule. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING AT CAMPSITES OR OUTSIDE THESE TWO DESIGNATED PLACES. <br/> <br/>DIRECTIONS- find at: <br/>www.saratogasprings.com <br/>or www.kosmoscamp.com <br/> <br/> <br/>I'm looking forward to meeting you all at camp. There is still space available for the event so if you have any friends that may be interested, tell them it's not too late to sign up. Take care and e-mail me if you have any questions at: <br/> <br/>matthew@kosmoscamp.com. <br/> <br/>Sincerely, <br/>Matthew Furey <br/>Kosmos Camp Director</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://KosmosCamp.tribe.net">Kosmos Camp</a> - 0 replies </div>
