There are a lot of fun things to do at the Omega. Check out the “Play” section of their website for more details…
Does anyone want to organize a game of basketball? Tennis tournament?
There is a large pond for boating and swimming (if you like cold water) and a sauna.
Gardens, trails and a labyrinth for meditative walks.
Board games? People can bring whatever they have available/space in bags for?
Board games, swimming, gardens, trains, and labyrinths all sound really nice to me. I personally am not interesting in basketball, sorry. Does anybody happen to be a yoga instructor? I’d love to do yoga early morning before the conference activities begin.
Yoga is kind of their thing, so that’s a definite yes. I think we’re going to announce the yoga and meditation activities once we’re there, though I’m pretty sure there’s one or the other every morning before breakfast if you’d like.
TED/Youtube talk bing?
Could be fun to collate a bunch of Open tech/Ag talks and watch them together, should seed some good discussion too
