Schedule
The main elements of the schedule (pdf version is here) are outlined below.
This schedule is busy, with many short and some longer breaks. Spanning over four time zones means that the scheduling is not perfect for anyone.
Please look after your eyes, your body, and your mental health. Schedule in your own time for a walk (outside, not to the fridge), with a local Friend or friend. If local health regulations permit, consider whether there are some sessions that you would like to get together with a Friend or two – perhaps the Sunderland P. Gardner Lecture on Sunday, or the daily Quaker Studies.
We invite creativity in your personal or local treatment of cake.
There is no perfect way to view the schedule – linear, or blocked out.
A google calendar will also be available.
If you find a scheduling inconsistency, please let us know. The table is the definitive source.
