NATURAL HISTORY CONFERENCE, STAR ISLAND, NH -- JUNE 22 - 29, 2013 

NATURE -- Nature is at its finest out on Star Island. Whether you are sedentary, active, young or old, there are beautiful skies, sunrises, sunsets, flora, geology, birdlife and ocean water for all to appreciate.

EDUCATION -- Natural History Conference at Star Island (June 22-29, 2013) is a week-long family retreat enjoyed by people who share a common interest in natural history. Each year, we present a different conference theme pertaining to natural history. Our theme this year is "The Mysterious and Misunderstood World of Mushrooms" and we are pleased to announce Dr. Rick Van de Poll as our guest speaker.

SPIRITUAL RENEWAL -- Everyone deserves some down time, away from the stresses of everyday living on the mainland. At Star, you are invited to relax on porch chairs, read a book, write your first novel, knit a sweater, listen to music, meditate, reflect and be inspired by interesting conversations and presentations by our conferees. Each day at Star will be a gift you give to yourself. Our minister of the week is Rev. Dr. Elaine Beth Peresluha, Interim Minister of First Parish, Concord, MA.
