We deeply regret to announce that the 2020 Franklin Merrell-Wolff Conference is postponed until next summer due to the ongoing hazard of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our keynote speaker, Thomas J. McFarlane, has graciously agreed to present at that time (TBA).

Over the years, the annual event—originally timed to celebrate Franklin’s Enlightenment (8/7/36)—has evolved into an optimal balance of substance, spirituality and personal intimacy. The measures required to hold gatherings under these conditions (as well as the risks of traveling) would have compromised this atmosphere—and a group photo of all attendees wearing masks would have emphasized it. Similarly, a virtual conference via Zoom is fine for business, but would fall far short here.

Doroethy and Ron will be commemorating Franklin’s Realizations in a small informal setting on Sunday morning of 8/2/2020 (10:00 a.m. EDT) in the Great Space. For those who wish to tune in non-locally, we shall feel the energy of your presence.
