I am in agreement with waiting, it's rather a steep price, with a short period for a discount. Yes, adding the travel expenses does get the cost up there! :cry:

WTE and ART, first of all thank you for your feedback it has been helpful and inspiring.

First, let me explain my involvement with 'The Cure'.

I Produce and Host a Radio show and interview lots of interesting well known people about health and wellness related issues. I had the good fortune to Interview, Ella, a young woman that had great success with the method, and Dr. Eskapa. I was immediately struck by the realization that this #1 was something that offered real hope for alcoholics, and that #2 Dr. Eskapa was an amazingly sincere and good hearted person, backed by a lot of good science.

My family is full of folks that struggled with alcoholism, and this last year I lost a very good family friend in a alcohol related car accident. I had been looking for something to do in 'her memory' and this seemed to fit the bill.

Regarding the costs, Santa Barbara events are pretty pricey,plus it will cost some $ to bring our speakers from Europe, and plenty of advertising and venue costs, not to mention lunch and the reception will be great!
I do want this to be a success, so I would like to hear what a more comfortable price sounds like to you.
I am open to offering some scholarships to people that can't afford it.

As far as number of people, I don't want to turn any away, this message needs to get out.
If we do end up with a profit, I would hope to keep Dr.Sinclair and Dr. Eskapa busy meeting more people that need the support with more conferences around the U.S.

Your enthusiasm and feedback is very much appreciated,
Love,
Kris

Yes - altho the conference sounds great, it is soooooo cost prohibitive for me. Certainly to make that decision & book travel in the next few weeks. Got other things going on - maybe it will be broadcast?

I am in the same boat. I am making the trek from Ontario, Canada to San Diego to meet my dear friend WTE in August. I wish I knew of this conference before and I could have booked then.

I hope that there could be a broadcast as well...or even a DVD or CD that could be purchased. I would love to have been able to go. I have felt the impact of TSM already (I realize is honeymoon stage, however, if this is a glimmer of what the future holds.....I will hold onto my positivity--try to, during times of peak drinking). My comsumption has dropped by less than half.

This is something I would love to share with others. It is such a breakthrough!

Kris, I suppose the more you get feedback the better. Because of the economy and other issues I for one could not afford to go but wish I could. Hoping that this will be broadcasted.

This is something I would love to do, with Jakester, of course. But travel expenses from New York State, the cost of rooms & food, and then (yikes!) $500 or more for the cost of the conference. . .that is a lot of moolah. Quite honestly, the decision would be between attending the conference, and taking a real vacation.

Vacation would have to win out. (We're so overdue. . .)

Dear Friends,

We 'Pre announced the Conference on 'The Board',as we thought there would be excitement and interest about it here, yes, before logistical details were pinned down.

Planning continues and we will post a formal announcement when it is available. Dr. Eskapa and Dr. Sinclair are committed to Presenting at the Conference, and of course spreading the word about Naltrexone.

Wishing you all love and light.
