Travel
Please keep in mind when making travel arrangements that check-in will begin on Thursday afternoon, August 7, with the conference officially beginning early that evening and closing after lunch on Sunday, August 10.
You may want to consider coming early or extending your stay to include pre- or post-AUM activities.
Airport
Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is the preferred airport for AUM 2014. It is the closest international airport to Taos, about three hours away.
There is also a small airport in Santa Fe that is less convenient and more expensive. It may or may not be worth looking into.

Shuttle
On Thursday, August 7 (the opening day of AUM), there will be two shuttles running from the Albuquerque airport to AUM: one leaving the airport at 12 noon and another at 2:00 pm.
On Sunday, August 10, there will be two shuttles running from AUM to the Albuquerque airport: one will arrive at the airport around 4 p.m. and the second will arrive at the airport around 8 p.m.
This second shuttle will also make a stop at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Marriot (near the airport) in case anyone flying out on Monday wishes to stay in Albuquerque overnight. (Please note the cost and arrangements for lodging will be your responsibility).
There will not be a shuttle from Taos to Albuquerque on Monday.

What to bring
Here are some suggestions on what to bring for your trip to AUM 2014 in Taos:
- Sunscreen, comfortable sneakers for walking, sun hat, water bottle (we will also have some for sale for $6), travel mug if you're a big coffee/tea drinker, light raincoat, comfortable clothes for movement meditation ... and a rock from your locale to add to the Auromesa labyrinth!
- Photographers: Bring your camera or smartphone -- we'll be compiling a gallery of AUM 2014 photos after the conference!
- If you plan to go on the Taos Pueblo field trip on Friday, please bring $10 for admission. (This is a great 40% discounted rate of 40%, and the Pueblo is a unique and beautiful site that has been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years—a not-to-be missed landmark!)
