History of Conferences
At the Marion Foundation

From February 1992 through the present, the Marion Foundation has held approximately 45 conferences featuring almost 100 distinguished speakers. These weekends are intimate gatherings of people from Marion and beyond, and the result is a vibrant and singular sense of community — a community of keen learners. Participants share a zest for exploring the frontiers of human potential and the evolution of body/mind/spirit. They also share an adventurous curiosity about current insights into the universal values that can serve as keys to living in a rapidly changing world.

Conference themes relate to various areas of study: The Arts and Social Awareness; Business in Transition; Death and Dying; Ecology, Environment and Sustainable Living; Frontiers in Science; Health and Healing; Indigenous Traditions; Tools for Personal Growth; and Philanthropy.
