Ithaca on the Passeggiata

Tim HursonRandom

Mindcamp 2013 was bittersweet with the very recent passing of our much-revered friend and spiritual ancestor, Dr. Sid Parnes. He is truly Mindcamp’s “grandfather,” a very big part of why Mindcamp exists at all.

“Ithaca” by Constantine Cavafis was one of Sid Parnes’ favourite poems. We feel the experience of the Passeggiata carried a little of this vibration. Please read, savour, enjoy! Perhaps some memories from YOUR Passeggiata experience will intertwine with the layers of meaning and emotion in the poem.

Remembering Sid Parnes

We remember with joy, and bid farewell with sadness, our mentor, the great Dr. Sid Parnes. Sid was the catalyst that brought us all together. He was 91.

Does Mindcamp Work?

Tom Beakbane led a session this year called Lights, Camera… dedicated to creating a short video on the subject of learning creativity. The video below, “Does Mindcamp Work?”, is the result, now posted on YouTube. Thank you, Tom and the whole team of Mindcampers who made this happen!

Mindcamper Sandra H. took some very thoughtful and beautiful images of Mindcamp. Her full album can be viewed on Picasa here, but here are some samples. Thank you Sandra!
