About AUM The All USA Meeting (AUM) is an annual conference for people interested in the vision of Sri Aurobindo and Mother, the practice of Integral Yoga, and the sustainable international community of Auroville -- and for those interested in consciousness, evolution, and the future of humanity. This year's "mountain high" AUM will take place at an elevation of 8,000 feet in the breathtaking splendor of the Colorado Rockies. About AUM • Late registration |

Program "Camp AUM' will focus on bringing people together in a spiritual atmosphere with time and opportunity to interact and get to know each other. The emphasis will be on activities, not speakers and lectures. Offerings will include meditation, small-group discussions on Integral Yoga, readings from Savitri (Sri Aurobindo's epic poem), arts and crafts, live music, dance, hikes, volleyball, hatha yoga, swimming, picnics, and more.

Safety For a recommended packing list and information on weather, altitude, fitness and medical conditions, and safety guidelines, see the safety page. Nature in the Rocky Mountains is vast and powerful and must be respected. During AUM 2008 it will be important for participants to be conscious of their own state, the state of those around them, and the ever-changing state of the environment. This will ensure a safe and happy experience for all. About safety |

Travel Estes Park is approximately a two-hour drive from Denver International Airport. The Estes Park Shuttle will take you from the airport directly to the YMCA. Five shuttles per day go from the airport to Estes Park and back again, so check shuttle times before you book your plane tickets. Attendees are responsible for arranging their own travel to and from the YMCA. About travel |
