The Festa is a local gathering to watch the live stream of our National Conference. Think of it as a mini conference, where you get to set the tone and include all your conference favorites. Festa is a Latin term meaning a “feast day,” a “holiday,” and “joyous.”

We want all attendees to experience the conference as a feast. So, for the first time, we are offering the opportunity to register a group of people to live stream the conference together. While supported by CiRCE, these groups are not hosted by CiRCE but by individuals who want to bring the conference to their own community.

All are invited to attend. We hope for this to be a gathering of schoolteachers, administrators, home schooling parents, co-op leaders, and high school students who are unable to attend our National Conference in person but wish to view the streaming portion of the conference within community, in their own homes, school, co-ops, or churches.

Registrants will be able to listen to 14 sessions over three days, beginning the morning of Thursday, July 18, and concluding around lunchtime on Saturday, July 20. Along with access to these sessions, registrants to the online offering will also receive recordings of these talks at no extra cost.

Speakers include: Andrew Kern, Dr. Matthew Bianco, Christopher Perrin, Heidi White, Jonathan Councell, Buck Holler, Greg Wilbur, Katerina Hamilton, Tim McIntosh, Andrea Lipinski, and John Hodges!
