TED.com has become a global phenomenon to showcase Ideas Worth Sharing. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. TEDx is an independently event curated by the approved licensee, following the guidelines and spirit of TED. All TED and TEDx speakers are by invitations only.
As an IIT Alumna and a TEDx speaker, I am the founder and champion of TEDxIIT since 2009. Due to the recent turn over of the student leadership, I have stepped in as a co-organizer, working with a new group of smart, dynamic and energetic students.

The upcoming Journey this April will be a different kind of journey.
My friend, Bill and Whitney are organizing a retreat. They call it "The Journey."
Its a learning retreat focused on Creativity (creative thinking, creative problem solving, etc.) as well as on Spirituality (spiritual awareness, self-discovery, energy, etc.) There will be great presenters with authors, entertainers, Grammy-nominated / CMA winners, plus experts in fields of creative thinking, the arts, movement, energy work, meditation, feng shui, shamanism and more. It provides a space and time, just to explore, discover, share, learn, laugh, and maybe cry, and then to realize and leverage your power within. It’s your Journey.
So, why the Journey? Because BOTH creativity and spirituality come from within. The Journey brings resources together into a professional and personal development program.
It will be held near Portland Oregon, April 20-22 at a beautiful, natural retreat center, and the cost is surprisingly affordable. The main event is Friday – Sunday, but with pre-retreat workshops and post-retreat options, you could be there from Wednesday, April 18 through Monday April 23.
You can reserve your spot for just $111. The fees cover lodging, all meals, and the retreat activities. If you come to the entire thing from April 18-22 its $665. Or just come for the weekend. Either way, conference, lodging & meals are less than $168/night.
http://www.JourneyCreatively.com Check out the list of presenters, the photos of the Cedar Ridge Retreat Center, and more. And when you register, please tell them Amy invited you! Early bird rate for a 10% discount only lasts another week.
Creativity. Spirituality. It’s your Journey . . .
So, please share!
