Rationalist Retreat (Northeast America - Equinox 2017)

Event Reference: https://www.facebook.com/events/1614831155205823/

Hey! Let's do a Rationalist Retreat for Northeast America, and bring together rationalists from Montreal, Boston, New York, Ottawa, Toronto, and anywhere else people are willing to travel from! It's a good opportunity to get to know each other, and just have a good time.

We've made a tentative schedule, but we can decide in group what we want to do. If you can only join us for 1 day, that's fine as well.

If you have games, physical activities, rituals, workshops or other things to propose, please do so.
