Ever since Thoreau wrote his famed
account of simple living in the woods
near Walden Pond, the retreat to
nature has been associated with the
search for knowledge.

Today, the Big Valley Educational
Conference calls us away to Monterey,
where the region’s transcendent
coastal beauty invites us to
temporarily slow down the pace of
life. To breathe more deeply. To clear
our minds and let new ideas in. To see
beyond what’s urgent to what’s truly
important.

Big Valley is your opportunity for
advanced learning and much-needed
simplicity. Don’t let it pass you by!
