Lunch at the Conference is not included, but a coffee-tea service will be provided. Plan to bring a sack-lunch for eating under the trees with the wild deer and chipmunks, as local restaurants cannot handle our numbers.
Language: All presentations will be in English. OBRL will make videos of the conference for archive. Private recording or videotaping is not permitted.
Please contact OBRL with your plans for attending the New Research in Orgonomy Conference, at info(at)orgonelab.org

PLEASE REGISTER AND MAKE YOUR OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
Getting There: See the information given in the "Lodging" weblink above.
SPECIAL CONFERENCE EVENTS
Friday Evening Open House and Social: OBRL will be open for an informal social chat and get-together from around 6 PM to 9 PM the Friday before the Conference (July 31st). You are welcome to come and meet others attending or speaking, and who arrive early. Coffee-tea service with light snacks will be provided.
Weekend Night Events: For Saturday and Sunday nights, and weather permitting, we may open the OBRL Rooftop Observatory for telescopic observation for Conference guests. The OBRL Orgone Energy Darkroom may also be open for having a look and sitting.
Demonstrations of Apparatus: On the first day of the Conference, during breaks and off-periods, a few laboratory demonstrations will be presented. The OBRL laboratory will be opened up, along with the Orgone Energy Darkroom, allowing people to sit inside, to feel the orgone radiation effects, which are particularly strong at this high-altitude location. Weather permitting, the flowing horizontal motion of the orgone energy in the atmosphere may also be possible using our large "battleship binoculars". Also a demonstration of the Experimental Life-Energy Meter will be made, and possibly also the blue-glowing bions in the microscope. Time permitting, we will try to do as many of these demonstrations as possible, so that even for "old time hands" to orgonomy, the events will be refreshing and interesting.
Optional Monday Field Trip to Crater Lake: One of the favorite field-trips in the area is the drive and visit to nearby Crater Lake National Park. It takes about 1.5 hour to drive to the lake, through the beautiful Oregon mountains and back-country forests, with a few refreshing stops. Once there, we take some time to visit the main overlooks and park gift-shops, get a lunch, and then take the Rim Drive around the lake, which typically has the bluest waters in the world. It will "knock your eyes out"! (not literally) We then return home, arriving back at the OBRL Center usually around 7 PM. This event is a fully optional and privately-organized thing, only possible by volunteer car-pooling of those who have attended the Conference and who have a car and want to make the trip themselves, taking others with them as their guests. So we cannot 100% guarantee this will happen, but so far every year we have managed to do it, without leaving anyone behind. More information will be available on Sunday afternoon during the Conference.
OBRL Bookstore: All of the books and instruments offered through the OBRL catalog will be available for direct examination and purchase during the off-times of this Conference. We suggest to review the offerings through the on-line catalog, and make up your list in advance. Or, you can make up a list of what you want, place your order on-line, pay for the items when you pick them up during the conference and save on the shipping charges. See here:
